So what dish did you like the best?
I'm not talking about the J-girl customers, BTW... That's for a different thread. :naughty:
The MFC was good as always... And I always like the Buta Kimchi as well.
OK i'm officially jealous/envious now. Makes my chicken burger look decidedly second-rate.
Anyway, glad you guys had a good time......where's the photos?? :P

Good question! I don't know what MFC is either...
Microwave Filter Company?
Midget Fan Club?
Military Field Commander?
Missiles and Fire Control?
Mixed Fighting Championship?
Mixed Flask Culture?
Most Favoured Customer?
Mother Funk Conspiracy?
Motherwell Football Club?
Multi-Function Center?

If she doesn't, we can always steal her boot and blackmail her into posting them. :angeldevil:

well it's definitely not as greasy. i think they use cornstarch or potato startch <katakuriko> in addition to spices such as garlic, ginger, & pepper in the batter instead of ordinary flour....that's why it's so crunchy.

Top 10 Detox Foods
Posted Wed, Jan 10, 2007, 10:31 am PST
As 2007 swings into gear, there's no better time to give your body a healthy, fresh start than now! Plus if you're thinking about lowering your weight - and your RealAge "eating clean" is a great first step. Add these 10 foods to your grocery cart and you'll get three terrific benefits:
1. Lots of super-healthy liquids to flush out the body while pouring in nutrients.
2. Fiber to keep your GI tract fit.
3. Foods that energize cleansing enzymes in the liver, your body's built-in detox center.
The top 10:
1. Green leafy vegetables. Eat them raw, throw them into a broth, add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps swab out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and is an all-round liver protector.
2. Lemons. You need to keep the fluids flowing to wash out the body and fresh lemonade is ideal. Its vitamin C - considered the detox vitamin - helps convert toxins into a water - soluble form that?s easily flushed away.
3. Watercress. Put a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps move things through your system. And cress is rich in minerals too.
4. Garlic. Add it to everything - salads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the bulb's cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk.
5. Green tea. This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity.
6. Broccoli sprouts. Get 'em at your health-food store. They pack 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.
7. Sesame seeds. They're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of alcohol and other chemicals. For a concentrated form, try tahini, the yummy sesame seed paste that?s a staple of Asian cooking.
8. Cabbage. There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. Coleslaw, anyone?
9. Psyllium. A plant that?s rich in soluble fiber, like oat bran, but more versatile. It mops up toxins (cholesterol too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon, or have psyllium-fortified Bran Buds for breakfast.
10. Fruits, fruits, fruits. They're full of almost all the good things above - vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants. Besides, nothing tastes better than a ripe mango, fresh berries, or a perfect pear.
