Last week for our date night we decided to try a Korean restaurant, based partly on
this list of "40 dishes every Washingtonian must try." If you're looking for a Korean restaurant, Annandale is the place to be. We ate at Gom Ba Woo but were a little disappointed with our meal. I think we just ordered the wrong things. The dumplings were good and our dishes were fine, just not awesome. I got the gal bi tang (Korean short-rib soup) which was on the "top 40" list but I didn't get the spicy version which was probably more flavorful. They brought out several little dishes of appetizers and it was fun to try them, not having any idea what they were.
We ended the night with chocolate overload (hot chocolate and a triple chocolate cupcake) at Buzz Bakery. We love this place for a late night hang out and dessert. Their cupcakes have improved greatly since the last time I had one and I was incredibly tempted by all of the other dessert choices. Ben and I have been doing the Lettuce Eat Cake weight loss contest again (more on that when it ends in a few weeks) and I didn't have any desserts for the first 6 weeks. So this was one of my first indulgences. I've never been one to share a cupcake before, but it was a good choice since my body was experiencing some serious sugar shock.
