The Synapse Connections of a lifetime

Korean barbecues are pretty popular here, with some restaurants situated just right next to each other. For Anne-lise's birthday, we celebrated in one of them, called BBQ-city at Liverpool street. Simon managed to book a huge room that looked pretty cool, it's one of those Japanese (Korean?) styled short tables that requires you to either sit cross legged or kneel jap style.

The seating arrangement is pretty cool for the first 20 mins, until I begin to lose sensations to my toes.. The few minutes after that is pretty much a struggle to stand up from that crammed position to drop some blood back.. Luckily some of the other guys are suffering too.. haha!

The food is 'geng', actually, not the food, but the price.. so I rephrase.. the price is 'geng'.. so 'geng' my wallet felt lighter.. A lot lighter after the dinner, but that's not the point :P

[Vegetarians beware, pictures of meat ahead]

Here's how a usual Korean BBQ set up is like, you get a pan (I don't know what it's called) and they give you raw meat to cook yourself. It's a neat setup, and in another place where it's a buffet, you get unlimited meat so you can literally cook till you drop. Also in the menu are MISC stuff like kimchi, pancakes, radishes and other random stuff I can't name.

We also ordered a hotpot (or steamboat) dish called beef and mushroom (I said beech and muchroom that time for some reason, it was hilarious!). It has a number of different kinds of much.. mushrooms and also noodles, which is quite tasty actually..

Then after the meal, we sang the birthday song and ate the cake.


This is Anne-lise and Simon. The fuzzy image of a person at the back is the manager, and he's trying to 'xiang jing tou' or trying to get into the picture and do the Asian victory sign while I was taking the picture. This guy, is quite a businessman, he offered a wine to the 'most beautiful lady in the room tonight' and we all know he's going to give it to Anne, haha! Then he sang the birthday song himself! It was actually quite good, he had the soprano type voice, lol! I was quite stunned at that (not at his voice, at his appearance mind you :P).


After that we all went to Club 42 (M.K's place in Barkers) for an after party, I left early so I have no idea what they did after that, haha! They were still sober when I left though..
