BukChangDong Soft Tofu Central

Yes, that BCD, the soft tofu famous franchise out of LA, now in Sydney’s CBD. What comes to the table feels properly laid out: the Single set gets you rice, 6 side dishes, soft tofu soup, and spicy stir-fried pork all together, basically a full 8-dish table for $29-31. 

Order the soft tofu stew, and a raw egg comes on the side to crack into the bubbling broth. 

Here is how we eat the stone pot rice:  Scoop most of the rice out, then pour hot water into the pot. What’s left scorched on the bottom turns into ‘Scorched rice’, Korea’s version of scorched-rice-tea. 

Coming with someone? The set for 2 lets you pick between a beef bulgogi and grilled fish combo, or a spicy pork and grilled fish combo, for around $59 total. 

Must-try: Soft Tofu Stew, the Single Set ($29-31), or the Set for 2 ($59) if you’re sharing.
