Bibimbap

Dinner on November 29.

J ordered stone bowls for bibimbap. It was delivered when we just came back from the holiday getaway. We didn't have much stuff for bibimbap. So I used whatever I had in the fridge. On the side, we had seaweeds salad and shrimp. It looks pretty good, doesn't it?

Hear-Grilled Chicken and Dumpling - I usually don't eat chicken at restaurant. Because most of the time, they are chicken breast. But it was perfectly cooked at NOLA. It's juicy and not dry at all. Dumpling? It was bad. I had one bite and done.

Bourbon Street Short Ribs - The meat was very tender. The gravy tasted a bit light for me.
