Tookbegi Korean Restaurant!

** Tookbegi is a Korean traditional clay pot that is known to have been used since the Koryo Dynasty (916 - 1392AD) for both cooking and serving stew.

i met up with Yayoi and Satomi at Tookbeji Korean Restaurant.. the restaurant was obviously named after the traditional clay pot.. haha.. the scheduled meeting time was at 5.30pm.. i reached there on time and it was already full! not that it was a big restaurant.. it was rather small.. a tiny bit bigger than Shige Sushi Bar.. but for a restaurant to be already full at 5.30pm.. it sure says something.. *hmmm~*
Yayoi and Satomi! and loads of people waiting for tables outside the restaurant..

i waited for Yayoi and Satomi outside the restaurant and the waitress handled me a menu.. i was flipping through it when they arrived and we began to decide our dinner together.. it was a tough choice.. Satomi and i wanted to try everything! we waited for about 30mins before we were led to a table.. we ordered:

- Kimchee Jun (Korean style Kimchee pancake with seafood)

- Bulgogi Jungsik (cooked beef scotch fillet in a seasoned soy sauce marinated with vegetables served on a hot sizzling plate)

- Kimchee Jengol (Kimchee casserole with vegetables and tofu and pork, served in a hot pot cooked on your table)

look at the amount of food we have on our table!

we really enjoyed our food.. and the Kimchee Jengol was a little too spicy for Yayoi.. it was her limit! haha.. after Tookbegi, i can give up all thoughts of Kim Chee House and Arirang.. just stick to Tookbegi! when we were paying, Jina and her boyfriend just arrived at the restaurant for dinner.. even the Koreans favour this place and reckon the food is authentic.. guess i dont need to emphasize much, right?

after dinner, i brought Yayoi and Satomi to Icey Ice Snow Ice.. both Yayoi and i ordered the Beancurd while Satomi ordered a Yogurt Ice with Mango Sauce..

- Yogurt Ice

the interesting ice flakes..

- Beancurd (handmade)

honestly, the handmade Beancurd was really too rough! not smooth at all! so seriously, i would stick to the Snow Ices next time! Yogurt Ice is really yum~!

seriously, how many times do i have to advertise for them? wahaha.. it was fun having dinner and then dessert with Yayoi and Satomi! Thanks, Yayoi and Satomi! Keep in touch!
