Miju Korean Restaurant.  62 rue de la Federation. Paris 15.

I am traveling to Paris tomorrow and it is snowing, silly cold there. It doesn’t matter – I have a plan.  In recent overdose of inter-continental flights, I have come up with a list of tricks to travel to exotic destinations without leaving ground. Miju Korean restaurant is that the top of that list.  I find it comforting that both staff and customers prefer to exchange in English. I find it exhilarating that I have been there a number of times and still do not understand a good part of the menu. Last time I was there, I loved it that the young Korean couple at the next table (who had just flown in from Seoul and needed a few bottles of French wine and a warm meal at Miju) shared their meal with me so I wouldn't miss out on the culinary treasures they had just been served.  Everything I have tried there has been a gift of unique flavors, fiery and transporting.

Bring on the snow.
