Korean Garden

So my friend Pascal and I got together to try Korean Garden. Actually I wanted to go to Yokiyo but apparently they don't take reservations for the DIY bbq if you're just a party of two :(

At Korean Garden they serve a very acceptably priced mix and match set meal for either €22,50 (set A) or  €25,50 (set B). So we gave it a go and ordered the B set. That got us a salad with fried chicken and fried salmon, surimi crabcakes, tempura vegetables and beef bulgogi. The food was ok, but was missing the strong spicy flavors that typify Korean cuisine. Staff was attentive but as the place wasn't very busy they seemed to not really know what to do with themselves. Overall we had an ok diner but this was a typical one-time-is-enough-visit.
* As it took me quite some time to actually write about this diner, Korean Garden now has a shared dining concept for €20 p/p. I thought I'd mention that for those of you that would like to check them out.

Absent but presently active!

I'm so sorry I haven't written anything in over a month! It's actually really stupid cause I had all kinds of stuff I wanted to share with you. But basically things have been... turbulent. Mostly to do with my inner restlessness. As it stands I'm booked to leave on THE-big-leap-of-faith-trip-into-China-or-wherever-faith-will-carry-me end of September. Really really BIG! So needless to say there are a lot of decisions to be made. I find most of them to be incredibly daunting and hard! You see, I don't want to limit myself but realistically I need to cut things to improve my chances of actually succeeding. SO HARD!

Ok, so in the past few months I've been trying very hard to land a job on my own. This has lead to countless of disappointing and frustrating moments. There are many agencies and people out there trying to make a buck of people like me. Personally I find that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Niws, right now I'm still in the running for a few positions but in all honesty I'm more hopeful than optimistic.

So that being said I will try to post as much of my culinary adventures before I leave. After that who knows when I'll be able and willing to actually cook/bake for myself again...
