A year ago or so they introduced breakfast at McDonald's. Now they've added the big breakfast:
The meal is 100% familiar to Canadians, however, I think in large parts of the USA you get a biscuit (which in Canada we might call a "bun"). I noticed I didn't get jam with my english muffin. And no salt/pepper was provided for my eggs. |

Kolache
kolache (also spelled kolace, kolach, or kolacky, from the Czech and Slovak plural kol�če) are a type of pastry consisting of fillings ranging from fruits to cheeses inside a bread roll. Originally only a sweet dessert from Central Europe, they have become popular in parts of the United States. Several cities, including Prague, Oklahoma and Caldwell, Texas, hold annual Kolache Festival celebrations, while Montgomery, Minnesota claims to be the "Kolacky capital of the world"[1] and holds an annual festival known as "Kolacky Days"[2]. Verdigre, Nebraska stakes the same claim,[3] with a similarly named festival. Prague, Nebraska is commonly known as the home of the world's largest kolache. Fayetteville TX claims the title of "Kolache Capital of Texas". Crosby TX also has a yearly Czech festival.
It was the sweet chosen to represent the Czech Republic in the Caf� Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006.
In Texas and Oklahoma, several restaurants and bakeries specialize in kolache; popular areas in central Texas include the communities of West[1]and Schulenburg, as well as the Nebraska town of Wilber, which have large Czech populations (see the Czech Stop and Kountry Bakery links below). These restaurants and bakeries now sell varieties for all meals of the day and include versions such as Philly cheesesteak, ranchero, and chocolate cream cheese. The Bluebonnet City of Ennis has celebrated the Polka Festival (see National Polka Festival link below) since 1966, with a weekend of parade, street dancing and dinner/dances at the fraternal Czech halls. Kolaches are sold on the street and in the local Czech bakery (see Kolache Depot Bakery link below). The official "Czech Capital of the United States," Wilber Nebraska holds the annual Wilber Czech days, during which several thousand kolaches are sold by various town groups and businesses. |
I guess it's a kind of danish. |

| Besides Costco, anyone ever find hotdog buns for sale anywhere? |
Yes, at the Nonghyup Agricultural warehouse near Nowon station. They were sitting on the shelf right beside the hamburger buns. Made by the same company. They also have imported hot dogs in the frozen food section. |

I think someone long time ago wondered if tonic water was available in Korea. Lottemart sells it. You'll find it in with the hard booze.

I was buying that at my local store a couple of years ago. I didn't realise people couldn't find it. |

I remember looking for it about 3 years ago (obviously not that hard) and I remember someone once asking where to buy it and I never saw a good answer  |

Dude I totally checked this place out. Great! They really do have hot dog buns. 750 won for 6. They're on the basement floor near the back. It's kind of a Korean costco but you don't need a membership. Some good prices on some things. |

I think this is a Japanese chain but I became familiar with it in Seattle. Basically a sushi, seafood, and Asian food buffet. Loved it in Seattle. Open at Coex. Haven't tried it yet. Going to hit it New Years day. |

Went with the GF to Todai on New Years day. 2 hour waiting time but we wisely made reservations a few days before.
Sashimi bar:
Throw your plate down and get raw tuna, salmon, and even crabs legs.
Then we have your basic sushi and roll station:
The Indian food section has pizza (with curry):
And naan!
The best part are the mini donuts and pastry:
The damage. About $35 a plate for weekend dinner. I do believe the Seattle incarnation was cheaper. But who knows that was 5 years ago. Prices do go up everywhere.
