Eat Like A King For Less Than $10

How about a lite Friday post. In today's world of massive price distortions in many food products, there are still amazing values to be had. In fact, I have seen alot of significant price drops at grocery stores in the last month. I would assume many food distributors, processors and manufacturers are more interested in maintaining sales and shelf space than margins in this environment.

I'm always on the look out for great food at local establishments. One such place is Tofu Village on Western Avenue in Gardena, California. For less than $10, you get some of the best Korean tofu stew, soondubu, anywhere. In addition, the side dishes, panchan, of Korean specialties included with the meal are fresh and of the highest quality ingredients. That includes crispy purple rice.

Below is a picture of the seafood soondubu along with all of the side dishes that comes with the meal for $9.99. Unbelievably, the kimchee soodubu is even cheaper and has a deeper flavor that I think is better. The restaurant is starting to open additional locations around LA as well. I'd highly recommend it. The quality of the tofu, kimchee and pickles are the best I've ever had. And, in uncertain times it's nice to enjoy a great meal on the cheap.
