Experience Korea

Experience Korean dining

Hwaroro Korean grill and food, Kalayaan Ave.

I knew that you have been to a lot of places such as restaurant or cafe with unique touch of Korea. But this, it is not that much, for as I know, this is the first time I wore a Hanbok. I'm just seeing this in Seoul trip on my friend's fb and now, I can wear it here.

so, simply sharing ッ.

Buffet table

This restaurant is not just for grilling foods. It has a small buffet for variety of Korean foods to choose from.

Raw meat 

This is the raw meat section for grilling, 에 of course. It serves beef, pork, cream dory, sausage and marinated meat (Korean Bbq).

Veggies

This section serve for fruits and vegetables. As you can see, they have the famous Kimchi. On the end of this table, you can get and mix up your sauces and spices for your non-marinated meats.

Celebrating their holiday.

Grill

Grill time. 🍖 I did not even know nor used the hanging host on the ceiling.

But it's normally to suck the smoke out from your surroundings, pretty much.

Hanbok area

This is one of the exciting part here, the dressing area for your cute photo shoot. They have a lot of cute Hanbok to mix up colors of the choice you want. 

And yeah, there you have it. Fun time with my colleagues. As I've said, do not expect much. We did not bought any drinks, we just paid for ₱399 for grill and food. 

P.s. 👌 It is a simple dine. But, I would suggest to try their other location on Timog Avenue based on reviews. 💜

Japanese Noodle Taste Test

Trying a legit fresh from Japan noodle dish ツ

Japanese food is really an exciting treat for everybody's soul. Sushi, noodles, ...

and you can find it anywhere in your country.

But this noodle is from Japan who bought by my brother as Pasaubong.

So, its not that much to blog for, but then again, it's my experience.

Well, gladly there's a picture on every procedure. It's kinda fun to analyze things, right?

This are the steps on the 2nd photo.

1. There are 3 small pack inside (Kewpie! omg! , soysauce & dried veggies), just open the lid up until to the line provided.
2. Firstly, you need to place the dried veggie and hot water.
3. Close the lid and wait for 3 minutes I guess? (as what I predicted on the 3rd photo. There's a number 3 in it) and then open it.
4. WOW! Why does the Locals here don't even think about this easy drainage! Yeah, my noodles are now soft to eat.
5. Place the soy sauce.
6. Lastly, Place the Kewpie Mayo, this just made me happy. ツ   Mix it.

Updated! I just figured it out that there's an application for you to easily translate foreign hieroglyphics via phone like Word Lens.

And based on my experience. It's just an ordinary Calamansi Soy sauce Instant Noodle. I did not even tasted much of the Kewpie and this dish is good for 2 person. Well, I've enjoyed it though. Haha, just don't know what's the name of the product. ツ

A forgotten place that will never be forgotten.

Would you rather run away from your fears or would you rather face and fight for it?

        A sudden of unfortunate times that we encountered in our waking life. Most of the people had experienced hopeless times such as broken hearts, lost direction and many unpleasant realities throughout this imperfect world for our existence may never be perfect as what we planned. Is it really have to end and leave it behind? Majority of the people had done it when they had a new chance in life. Yet, there are people who never got out of it and it still haunts them.

        Life is a continuous learning process.You may never learned about the bad things had happened to you. For the crucial reason, we may have to go back to fix it, to learn for more or maybe to end it completely. Because, you may need to learn harder. So, I did. Those occurrences that what come up against us has a profound meaning that we may be needed to face it  for one more time, for our destiny.

        On the whole of it, It is the only way to end those fears that has bothered us for a long time. Every obnoxious happenings has a positive view that we could have acquired a valuable lessons at our disposal. Apparently, the only outcome of it, is freedom, that is what we always aim for, and I believe everything happens for a reason. 👑

 The Honey BBQ and the Garlic Parmesan are the non-hot tasty snack, if you don't want to suffer the level of the intense heat for their ultimate buffalo challenge. 🔥

Seasoned Rice

And of course, what a convenient idea, a box of gloves was given to us.

 

Level of spiciness. 🔥🔥🔥

 If you want to challenge yourself for the higher spiciness, you have to sign a waiver that you are willing to buy it. Hahaha! I've tasted the other red bars before and I died. I can't. Seriously, I'm not even allowed to eat it. On the contrary, I glad I did for a risky challenge but, as a result, I got serious allergies. 

It is worth it for a unique challenge because, it is so delicious. Better try this, way too awesome Buffalo's Wing restaurant, because, you gonna love the firer. 🔥

St. Patrick's Day Green food Celebration ... ?

Looking into green stuff for this day? This stuffs are my ideas.

Today, I will make a spinach pesto pasta and a green smoothie.

Spinach Pesto Recipe                                                   Green smoothie

• 2 handful of Spinach leaves                                         ♣  1/2 head of broccoli
• 1 cup of basil leaves                                                         ♣  1/4 cup of spinach
• 1/4 cup of parsley                                                           ♣  2 cucumber
• 1/2 lemon juice                                                                ♣  An apple
• 8 teaspoons of olive oil                                                ♣   1/2 of lemon juice 
• 3 cloves of garlic                                                             ♣  Ice 
• 1 cup of milk                                                                    
• Bacon
• Cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste.

 Spinach and pesto pasta

1. Blend the solid ingredients until it looks like a pesto paste.
2. Cook the pesto paste in a pan to simmer the milk and the cheese.
3. Put salt and pepper to taste and the lemon juice.
4. Lastly, for garnishing, I chose bacon. And sadly, I forgot the Parmesan Cheese and it is perfect in any pesto dishes so, don't you ever forget it.

Green Smoothie 

1. Blend green smoothie ingredients with 1/4 cup of water.
2. You may add a cup of milk for more creamier taste but I did not, because, my pesto and my dip have a lot of calories already.

♣ LUCKY! I made it mate!♣

For the spinach and cheese dip recipe, It is just right after this post.

Yup, I maybe sound a little bit foolish, because, it is way too late for my St. Patrick's day celebration (Mar 17) and way too early for Earth day (Apr. 22). 

Well, At least I'm in between, right?!

So, Yeah It's an April FOOLS DAY gotcha! It is not Patrick's day okay fine, I'm not good at pranking.

Spinach and Cheese dip

Dull and bored to your old and repetitive spread for your bread? 

Spinach and Cheese dip

I know this recipe is ordinary and familiar, but this, may help you to make your own idea for your spread. This is another unique way of having a delicious and nutritious spread that cannot be compared from your groceries.

Like Butter? Cheese? Peanut Butter? Chocolate? or maybe Fruit Jam?

Better try this one!

My Ingredients

• Spinach (good for your garlic)
• 5 leaves of Basil
• Breadstick
• Salt & pepper
• Onion
• 2 heads of garlic
• 2 box of All purpose cream
• 1/4 of butter

My Cheese

• 1 box of Cream cheese
• 1/2 box of ordinary Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2 box of Cheddar Quickmelt Cheese

It is better to experiment or try any type of cheese you prefer and for me, I chose only two.

Tried and Highly suggested: Mozzarella!

(Missing ingredients was included in the making. Of course!)

(Honestly, it was my 1st attempt in making this and it went really spicy.

So, I suggest, to not include the garlic on the blender process but to cook it.)

In order for me to save it, all I did was to add another box of all purpose cream and yes, that is 2 in total. 

My Preparation and my cooking:

• Chop everything first.
• Put the spinach and basil leaves into the blender for the grind.
• Place altogether with cream cheese and all purpose cream. Mix it.
• Remove it from the blender and place it in a pot to cook the sauce.
• Saute the garlic and onion.
• Place the cheese and butter. The sauce must be liquified.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

And there you have it. Your creamy and cheesy spinach dip. It is super tasty and addictive!

I have not posted or shared anything for months so, I would like to give you my adventure in food, travel and activities that are NOT UNIQUE but special to me. But still, my main blog is all about uniqueness. 

Note: This BLOG is all about my experience. It may not be good and misleading. But I assure you that everything you have read here is with pure honesty. 

Homemade shabu-shabu

Shabu-shabu restaurant is quite expensive but you can now control your OWN POT at home.

This is an old photo of our dinner. I think this idea is unique, so I thought of sharing it. I was thinking to blog it before, glad I saved some of it. So, as you can see, this is the basic choices in one dine. I have...

• 3 kinds of Noodles
• Thin meat cuts or seafoods ( I got Bulgogi.)
• Eggs for meat.
• 4 types of Veggies
• Fish cakes (fish/squid balls, kikiam, etc.)
• Tofu
• Noodle soup base (Dipping sauce)
• Hot Soup (broth)
• Induction Stove or rice cooker

I made my own dipping sauce and it's only a simple Soy Sauce, Sesame oil, lemon juice & garlic. But try to search for more or make your own, because I didn't liked the taste of it. Perhaps, you can buy a Noodle soup base in a bottle at the market. 

For the meat. I was looking for any thin slice and glad I found a Bulgogi at the supermarket.
If you're going to buy cheap meats you need to marinate it for the taste or you can just have seafoods as an alternative. Great to know that the fish cakes itself will definitely do for your meat and great for cheaper deal.

For the soup, I only put salt and broth cubes to make the taste. This is the soup for simmering your chosen food.
(YOU NEED A LOT FOR THIS ONE!)

It is really a UNIQUE dinner for your family. It was really fun to cook your own food in front of you while eating at home. It is quite convenient, because we only have one induction stove but we managed it.

Enjoy and Stay Healthy!

The leftover shabu-shabu was eaten a day after.
