Buddha's Belly

After spending my Christmas vacation in Thailand, I have been on the lookout for authentic Thai food in Seoul.  This was not my first visit to Buddha's Belly and I must admit, I was not too impressed with my first couple of visits.  I found that their veg options lacked diversity and most tofu dishes ended up being a plate of sliced tofu covered with curry on white rice.   This time however, I decided to visit Buddha's Belly Take Away in Haebangcheon rather than the larger location in Itaewon.  This location is MUCH smaller (maybe only 10 people could fit inside) and they offer a smaller menu than the larger location.  However, I enjoyed this visit much more than my previous ones.
 
Some menu items were the same in both locations, like their vegetable spring rolls.  These are awesome every time.

The green curry with vegetables and tofu was great.  This curry was much different than the tofu dishes I had at the Itaewon location and had lots of veggies (some I had never even seen or eaten before).  While still not on par with the real deal in Thailand (not that I really expect it to be), Buddha's Belly in Haebangchon is a pretty good place to get a Thai food fix.
