Seoul Garden

On 2006-09-22, I followed him and his colleagues to this korean restaurant downtown Melbourne, it's next to the Marriot Hotel, called Seoul Garden...
when we first entered, well, not many people, besides us, there was only another table there.. in fact, initially we wanted to go for japanese food, however, on a Friday night, it was fully booked...

so, typical korean barbecue food, meat and lots of meat... ^_^
I don't particularly fancy korean food, especially this Seoul Garden, the marinate is far too sweet and the taste is too strong... too strong to the stage, where it's kinda irritating, if you've more...
however, I always like the side dishes in this type of korean food setting, ie. barbecue... the side dishes, for eg. bean sprout, cucumber, kimchi(well, it depends on the restaurant though, some really sucks, but some are pretty lovely), and back in K.L., this restaurant that I have been to, (Nak Won) I love their potato stripe, don't underestimate how potato can taste like, in Nak Won, the potato stripe(side dish) is really attractive... however... as it's complimentary sidedishes, I'm not sure if the waiter/waitress is willing to endlessly replenish for you..

Then... after the dinner, (which is a little bit unsatisfying, as in taste, afterall, I still prefer japanese food, which is lighter in taste, less heavier for my tastebud, and feel kind of healthier ^_^), we went to the Crown's Entertainment Complex, as some of his colleagues, wanted to 'visit' the casino... so, the guys went into the casino, and the gals went to visit Greco, to have a pamper and girl session...
and without the existence of guys.. ^_^ we pig-out again!!!

Again, I ordered my favourite Affogato, I didn't order any cakes, but when I was eating the korean food, towards the end, my mind was fully clouded with COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE!!! I could feel that, this little cup of coffee was calling for me afar... (well, basically, I as just too fed up with the barbecue marinate, they're too 'tasty', and sweet!! the only one good barbecue meat, was the limited beef that I have, which had no marinate at all ^_^;;)

Normally I like this type of events, especially with, err... strangers... well.. not so strangers though, they're his colleagues... but then, as girl-guy talk vs. girl-girl talk... it's my first-hand experience in getting to know them more... the cake (coffee cake) was not ordered by me, that girl loves sweets, even though she always talks about DIET, ^_^ but then.. it's fun, then, without the rest of us knowing, another girl somehow ordered another piece of cake, a cheesecake, with extra icecream... Goodness!!!! it's just TOO sinful... according to her, the cheesecake is THE cake for Greco, so, she had to order for us to try... well... talk about cheesecake, I actually start to miss Malaysian Secret Recipe... ^_^...

One thing I notice is that, the cakes here are normally extremely huge... I bought A SLICE of cake once, and it took me 3 rounds to finish the whole slice, across a few days!!!!
