New Korea Restaurant

Tucked away in the T&T Supermarket Food Court located at 5661 Steeles Avenue East in Scarborough is the New Korea Restaurant, a modest food stall offering exactly 10 menu items: one of them being spicy pork bone soup. Not knowing what to expect from a food court restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised at how perfectly spicy and delicious the soup was. The pork literally fell off the bone.

I was first introduced to pork bone soup by a friend (who is now back in South Korea). Fragrant, spicy and awesome for a cold winter day, I was surprised that something so simple could be so flavourful.

Now, I'm no expert on Korean food, but I have to say the soup I had today at New Korea Restaurant was good for this foodie's soul. Served with white rice (which I skipped) and a side of kimchi, the meal was really well priced ($8.95). The fact that it's easy-on-the-wallet is a definite bonus.

Restaurant rating: Definitely worth an extra hour or two at the gym.  (Not that I think you'd need it - the soup really does consist of a spicy broth).
