I'm always wishing I could have tokyo.eats, as I read la.eats.

Tuesday is my 'Kankoku no katei ryo^ri no hi' for dinner.  So I went to
Miraku in Ogikubo last night.  There was a hot black bowl on the counter,
when I got there.  The stuff in the bowl were some vegetables, seasoned
ground beef, and chirimenjako(dried small fish) with raw egg on the top
of the rice.  The bowl is made of stone and was real hot, so the ryo^ri
was still been cooking in it and was still making hot and tasty noise.
I've never seen this menu at Korean BBQ restaurant here in my life.  I
wondered what it is and asked the women in the kitchen.  It was 'Ishiyaki
Bibinpaf(don't know the spell)'.  It looked very tasty, actually it was.
I thought "Ah, my dinner got ready and is waiting for me".   Finally, I
got that one that was supposedly for one of them.  Anyways, they were
pretty friendly and showed me how to eat it, puting proper amount of
Kochijan on it and mixed all the stuffs.  The rice on the bowl was crispy
and egg was cooked.  I ordered vegetable soup and To^fu salad also.  I
liked their To^fu salad with real hot and little vinegary Miso sauce a
lot.  They were both yammy. :-)  The bill came out at \2,500, though it's
a little high standard for my dinner every day.  If you are foreigner,
better ask Oomori for Ishiyaki Bibinpaf. ;-)

BTW, I love ethnic foods.  Can anyone out there recomend me some
authentic ethnic food restaurants in Tokyo?

Thanks in advance!
Sorry for my henna Eigo.
