O My Food

The Vietnamese stall inside Super H Mart in Johns Creek closed 2 months ago. A new European stall has opened in its place. My curiosity got piqued when I was walking by and saw gulasch on the menu board. I mean, gulasch in a food court? I’m so there. But what really won me over was the picture of the bread dumplings next to the gulasch. When I was in Prague last year, I ate bread dumplings 3 – 4 times a day. The entire week! Bread, in an form, is my absolute weakness.
So I ordered a couple of things — the gulasch and the frikadellen. I should have known it wasn’t gonna be authentic after I found out that the Korean grandmother hostess was none other than the cook. She is the nicest, sweetest grandmother, though, and fed me like a starving granddaughther who hasn’t eaten in days.
The gulasch, as expected, tasted more Korean than Czechoslovakian. It was really Korean stew, if anything else. It did taste bold and flavorful, and the meat pieces were very tender. Unfortunately, the bread dumplings are only for photography purposes as I learned they’ll never have it available.
The frikadellen (German meat patties) were as delicious as the German version — meaty with spinach, carrots, and a bit of cilantro in the filling. All meals come with a side of salad (and soup if requested; she gave me both).
This is a good place to eat homecooked European meals with a touch of Korean. Meals start at $ 5.95 and portions are huge. Other menu items include pasta bolognese, schnitzel, Asian noodles, fried rice, fish, chicken tenders. Where else can you order gulasch with fried rice?
