Mountain Cafe, in Koreatown, serves some of the best congee, abalone chawder, around. Make sure you get a spoonful of the meat juices from the sides dishes for flavor. This soupy goodness helps fill that drunk body. And when you are drunk - it tastes so good. But when you are sober, for whatever reason, it is just a bit north of ordinary. You don't see much abalone, only little bits and pieces.
The chicken soup is good, too, from what I hear. But I go to Mountain for the abalone congee - which is about 9 bucks. Since Mountain Cafe is open 24 hours - you can get it anytime you want. But late night is when it get crowded. Its a small place, so be prepared to wait. If you plan to go after a night of clubbing/drinking, try to get there before 2am or after 3am. . .

ReplyDeleteOh, I would spend $9 to try some good abalone chowder! Sounds like a good restaurant. I really like the face of it in the pic above. Looks pretty slick.
