    I'm a Pakistani. And there is such a clear divide between our local cuisine and the cuisines of other countries. It was just inspirational to see how you have fused the different styles in your restaurant.

      It's not cheap, but it isn't going to destroy your bank account either. I'd say for an entree, cocktail, and an appetizer plus tax and tip for one it'd run around $50-ish

    Aww...I am happy for her success. I am half Korean and I can relate to some of her stories especially about how most people (usually non Asian) back in the day used to frown upon Korean food or anything not European with the exception of Chinese food.
    Korean food is fantastic.

      Honestly sushi and bibimbap is Michelin quality dishes. Each single bite is very well balanced and compliment each other.
      But only because it's so common and not rare. It is overlooked in michelin star taste ratings who don't want to cheapen their image by giving awards to a relatively affordable and traditional mainsteam dish every year

    Does anyone know what process would have been used to make the soft-boiled egg she opens at 1:23. It is remarkable. I soft-boil eggs all the time, but she has soft-boiled an egg in a way that she could still open it with one hand AND the white didn't rip to expose the soft yolk as it tumbled out of the shell into the bowl...soft-boiled. I've never seen that. Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks!
