I've always thought of this place as a good one for cafe culture, and for coffee.
Koreans do, after all, know their cafes well enough, they're creative enough to come up with some of the best mixes in the region, and they've no qualms making sure that their cafes live up to their name.
The menu here at dal.komm is fantastic, I tell you, and were it not for the fact that we had to be mindful of our diet, there'd be so much here I'd want to have.
Much of their menu is balanced between the savory and sweet, like in their selection of small bites, where, besides the French Fries and Sweet Potato Fries, they have Honey Hotteok, Honey Butter Tater Tots, and something called Creamy Rose Tteokbokki.
I'd like to try their Honey Hotteok sometime.
Likewise their Carbornara Tteokbokki.
Simply because I am quite a fan of those little steamed rice cake (tubes) but haven't had much of an opportunity to munch through them all.
The other thing that stands out in this place is the Ramyun and Pasta.
I'd like to try Shiitake Samyang Ramyun one day.
Then again the Creamy Rose Pasta seems pretty good too.
This afternoon we were trying to make up our minds between coffee or dinner.
But what with it being the hour, it seemed wiser to have a bite or two rather than slurp down cups of coffee, which, at another time, would have been just as good.
To be honest I had found myself wishing to have their Rose Latte or their Sweet Potato Ice Blended, but we were here for food, and so up came our order of Honey Butter Tater Tots, and Garlic Cheese Pizza.
If there's one thing to be said about the food here at dal.komm, it is that the Koreans really do know how to eat.
I mean, it doesn't matter what you're having.
Whether it be a cake or a dessert or anything else, one thing you can be sure of is that the food will be good.
I found myself being enormously satisfied with the Garlic Cheese pizza.
They didn't skimp on the cheese, I tell you.
The layers upon each slice were so d*** thick my teeth literally sank into the cheese and I found myself slowly peeling the layers off as I ate through the piece.
And even though I couldn't quite tell where the garlic in the garlic cheese was, I could taste it, and it was wonderful.
Perhaps next time I might give the Kimchi Cheese pizza a shot.
Then again the Ssamyang Chicken pizza sounds rather nice too.
One thing I'm sure we'll go for- and no brainer on this one- is the Honey Butter Tater Tots.
We loved it.
Not just for the Honey Butter Sauce, which, let me tell you, was a perfect blend of sweet and savory, but also for the fact that they were tater tots on their own.
These little hash-brown like potatoes are probably one of the most fun to eat, and when well fried like the ones they have here, make for a delicious snack on their own, and for us today, a great accompaniment to the meal at the same time.
Perhaps it might not be that appealing to a person who likes their potatoes spicy, but I'm someone whom at McDonalds breakfasts dips her hash browns into hotcake syrup or jam more than ketchup or chili.
So there.
