Cooking Papa

Right now, I am living in Koreatown. For those who know Philly, it's an area that is pretty much dominated by Korean BBQ, Asian french pastries cafes, Lotte Shops and other family run businesses.

Well, to the point: I love food and I love eating food. And I am so happy that I live here. My current favorite resturant is Cooking Papa

Okay, Cooking Papa. I love the name. I envision a cute dad, cooking away, making awesome creations in a very manly apron and chef's hat. The food is fusion. A mixture of Korean, Japanese, and Spanish, makes my stomach grumble. In a good way.
When I saw omirice on the menu, I nearly cried. I love omirice. I'm a little obsessed with omirice. I am so glad it is a skip away. Omirice is a fried rice omelet filled with goodness. Also, on the menu is shabushka, yaki soba and fresh tuna salad bibimbob. Also, the chef will gladly accommodate vegans by taking out egg and meat.

So my nerd alert rings at level 10. Wasn't Cooking Papa a manga? Why, yes, it is. Cooking Papa is a manga by Tochi Ueyama. I wonder if it has anything to do with the DS game? I never read the manga. I'm not sure if it was ever translated.

So, Cooking Papa is my new jam. I really should Yelp this. haha. Did the nerd alert go up to 20? I think it did.
