Good Day Bob's

I love the fresh organic food served at Good Day Bob's. Located between Chodae Front Gate and Back Gate MiniStop. Map.

They are a bit slow but you can call to order ahead (www.gooddaybobs.com 1670-5325 or 010-6525-5301)

BLT (no mayo) instead it comes with this amazing, nutty aioli. Orange herb juice. Vegetable salad: concentrated balsamic vinegar lightly sprinkled over amazing mix of greens - radicchio, chicory, bokchoy, spinach and iceberg; plus kiwi, apple and sweet potato. And toasted sunflower and pumpkin seed sprinkled on top! All organic.

Also the yogurt - homemade - is divine. Thick and creamy and sour! No sugar or sweetness. You can add dried blueberries or nuts.

Across the street from Good Day Bob's is the Green Way
