After reading Gail Guengerich’s review of this Asian fusion bakery, I had to run out and try it immediately. I’m happy to report that it’s every bit as good as she says it is.

V.19 No.27 | 7/8/2010  Sergio Salvador salvadorphoto.com Restaurant ReviewFu YuangKorean flavors made with careWhile many Asian cuisines create exotic flavors with strange ingredients, Korean food manages unfamiliar experiences from relatively pedestrian parts.

A plate of stir-fried donkey in central China could have been beef. Korean dishes, meanwhile, can look normal enough on paper, but they take taste buds to interesting new places.

Today, head down to the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History (601 Eubank SE) for Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Day.
