Welcome MAY!

I am really falling love with Korea's weather nowadays. It's not too cold, but not too hot either. Despite, I always busy with works, with weather like this of course you need enjoy the day outside and eat some delicious foods.

I went to Garosugil with a friend and eat really magnificent pasta, the one of the best pasta I ever ate. The name of the restaurant is Lobster Shack! The restaurant pretty small and has vintage-classic theme, I feel like come into some pirate's deck. All constructed with woods and pirate ship decoration.

I'm pretty starved that time and decided to order Lobster Shack Platter / 랍스터쉑 스몰 플래터 and Carbonara with cream base / 까르보나라.

The Lobster Shack Platter was good. The Platter consist of Baby Ribs, Sous Vide Pork Belly, Sausage, Chicken Rilletts, Tiger Shrimps, Pan Fried Vegetables, Salad, Grilled Bun. The taste was great and tiger shrimp was very yummy. This plate can be eaten together from 2-3 person.

Price: 39,000₩

The Carbonara was perfect, magnificent. The one of the best carbonara I ever eat! The carbonara consist with Garlic, Onion, Bacon and Mushroom. The cream was perfect not too salty, but make sure you not eat alone, because I'm pretty sure you going to be very full.

Price: 14,000₩

You make up someone, someone good

Together with the sweet rain my favorite season on earth, Spring has been gone. The trees start greener and the other flowers ready to blossom. Nowadays, the weather is getting warmer and the clear blue sky complete my day.

I and friends enjoy the daytime with some Southeast Asia style foods. We went to a restaurant called Woks9. The restaurant not very big with simple interiors setting with the Woks9 color identity (Red and Black) as chosen color. They deliver an open kitchen which makes us know whatever happens in the kitchen. And so we ordered Korean Fajita / 코리안 화이타, Bean Sprouts Fried Noodles / 숙주 볶음면, and Sweet Potato Stick / 고구마스틱.

First thing first, the famous Korean Fajita. The Korean Fajita consists of Fried Pork Belly, Fried Chicken Breast, Fried Shrimps, and Fried Fries complete with Paprika, Tomato and there is chilly powder spread on the top of them. Plus the sweet-sour mayonnaise you can dip whenever you wants. The Korean Fajita was delicious, the combination of all spices and meat was perfect. All meats cook well with perfect fried fries, it was matched well with my Indonesia tongue, strong spices and salt. One serve of Korean Fajita can be eaten by 2-3 people.

Price: 18,900₩

Next is Bean Sprouts Fried Noodles. I bite and I felt like recognized the taste well like used to be taste food like this for a very long time. I think the taste of the fried noodle was very similar to Indonesian's food. It was rich with spice, complete with bean sprouts and salty, perfectly same like Indonesian food. I really like with this Fried noodle, match from heaven for my tongue. And while writing this story, I'm pretty starving to eat this once more. :)

Price: 7,000₩

The Sweet Potato Stick had been good like always Sweet Potato is never wrong! It was perfectly cooked with the soft texture, but crunchy skin. Completely got me a sweet potato addiction.

Price: 5,000₩

Overall, I give 4 stars for WOKS9, the food was perfect, the price was not expensive for tasty food like that, the place was OK. If you would wish to eat more Vietnam or Thailand fusion when you in Korea, you definitely need to try this place.

After lunch, of course, dessert. That day was Saturday and I don't know why in the Mangwon Area we can't find an empty place at every cafe we try to in, all of them full with people until we find a very cute cafe called Caffe Bunny 1995.

The Super Cheese Roll was good and quite cheesy. The taste was perfect, but the price quite expensive I think, but anyway worth to taste because of this Cheese Roll just only available for just weeks.

The Gelato Ice Cream Waffle! The waffle was perfectly made and delicious. The texture of the waffles was soft and very fit well when you eat that with the Gelato. Delicious!

Simply, the Caffe Bunny's Tiramisu Ice Cream was special because they add their infamous Churros. Of course, the Tiramisu Ice Cream was perfect and the Churros was great, perfectly match from heaven. Tiramisu Powder + Ice Cream + Churros, I can't refuse.

Do you ever have an imaginary friend? Like someone, you created just for the support you when you tired and all alone? When you hit a point of exhaustion and you feel need support for yourself. Because I have, I created someone good to support me no matter what and help me to not give up.

We've all hit that point of exhaustion, the point where nothing makes sense anymore. Your body hurts, your brain becomes foggy, and you feel like you're trapped in a tunnel when all you want is your bed. So, how do you keep going? How do you not just sit down and give up? Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good. Whatever you need to keep you going.
