Looking for Answers

Sunny day on weekends, craving for delicious food, and need friends as a shoulder to cry on, I departed to Garosugil area for release all my heavy heart. And maybe shopping will be healed pain in the heart.

Before shopping, I and friends decided to recharge our energy with good food, so I went to a restaurant called ABLE / 에이블. ABLE's interior is so look "natural" and "green," the entire restaurant decorated with flowers or leaves, the table made from woods, the wall was left "peel" naturally, created a "vintage" feel there. In the center of the restaurant, there is a wooden rack and they put a glass bottle with real flower plants, look so green and fresh. I really love the interior!

Okay, time to order the food! Starving for something creamy we ordered Broccoli Shrimp Cream Pasta / 브로콜리 새우 크림 파스타 and Egg in Hell / 에그 인 헬 for 1st batch. And the second batch was for dessert! We ordered Berry Berry French Toast / 베리베리프렌치토스트 and Brownie / 브라우니.

Start from Broccoli Shrimp Pasta / 브로콜리 새우 크림 파스타! It was good and I really love with their platter, it was simply served with a big white bowl and they put bread in the top of Pasta. The amount of food was so big, the creamy pasta was perfect, and the cooked the broccoli with very exact temperature, it was very soft yet crunchy. The shrimp was fresh and delicious as well.

Price: 17,000₩

The second one was Egg in Hell / 에그 인 헬. When the food served, I thought the name they use for this food is so fitting with the platter. They use like small cooking pan as plate, in the middle part, we can find a baked egg with sunny side up style surround with red tomato sauce. When you try to stir, the egg yolk was blown up and mixed well with the Tomato Sauce. Inside of that, we can find bacon bit and delicious mushroom. Egg in Hell was served with bread as well, so you can try to dip the bread into the Tomato Sauce!

Price: 16,000₩

Time to dessert! Actually my stomach was so full to eat some heavy dessert, so we ordered some ABLE's infamous dessert called Berry Berry French Toast / 베리베리프렌치토스트. Berry Berry French Toast was containing with various fruits, Toast and maple syrup. I really love with fruits, so this is one of my favorite desserts. It was fresh and healthy!

Price: 15,000₩

The other one, Brownie / 브라우니 was good, the brownie was delicious and match well when eat that together with the Vanilla Ice Cream. It was light, fit as dessert when your stomach already full.

Overall, the interior was great (I love it), the food was okay, seems expensive, but not forget to mention this restaurant located at Garosugil so the price is just okay. I just quite disappointed with their service, the waitresses weren't friendly at all, no smile even. But never mind, anyway, I just came to enjoy the food!

Lately, I just feel everything crumble down over me, the plan which I made before not going well, the job I always do with all my heart there was disappointed me as well, it isn't about the job, but the people. I keep looking for the answer for everything that happened lately. What's wrong? What do I actually need to do? But in the end, it just keeps giving me another question without an answer. Then, I just close my all question with this closure.

We're all looking for answers, in life, in everything. Sometimes the answer we are looking for, have been hiding just below the surface. Other times, we find answers when we didn't even realize we were asking the question. Sometimes, the answers can catch us completely by surprise. And sometimes, even when we find the answer we've been looking for, we're still left with a whole hell of a lot of questions.

I hope you already find the right answer for every question you all have. And I hope the answer doesn't lead you to another confused question. Just live your life. Keep Smile.

The Other Side of The Dark Clouds

This week I'm pretty beat up with all my activities and works. It's a kind feeling you are floating in the sky and your foot cannot step on the ground, confused and don't know what to do. But no matter what happens, life needs to keep flowing away while hoping the cloudy days who's always following me nowadays give up and my bright day will become.

Arrived at Seoul Area, I went to an infamous outdoor restaurant around Gangnam Area called Jardin Perdu. Jardin Perdu is the outdoor and indoor restaurant with the classic-elegant and romantic restaurant. Usually, people go to this restaurant for a blind date or a date with someone special. The ambience of the restaurant really romantic and quiet enough for dating, the outdoor area was very beautiful, but the weather quite windy that day so I decided to enjoy the indoor area.

From the indoor area, there is my favorite decoration which is the hanging peach clouds. It's really pretty and makes me hope my dark cloud will become that beautiful peachy cloud.

Okay then, let's order the food! I went to this restaurant with my 2 close friends, but we were really hungry, so we ordered 5 menus, which are Onion Soup, Salmon Salad, Seafood Tomato pasta, Beef Cream Pasta, Acciughe Risotto.

And for the opening, they served pieces of bread. Let's Enjoy!

First, we started with the Onion Soup, the plating of this soup quite unique and the taste was good. They place the bread in the top of the soup together with slices of Parsley. The taste was good, not really salty, but the taste of Onion not really strong, so it's not destroying the overall of soup taste.

Price: 13,000₩

Another starter was Gravlax di Salmone (Salmon Salad). Salmon has been always my favorite so I really enjoyed this salad. Besides the fresh salmon this salad completed with Arugula, Caper, and Tomato. The fresh salmon was dancing merrily in my mouth, make me keep eating this salad.

Price: 17,000₩

Mare Spaghetti (Seafood Tomato Pasta) was great! It was made mouth watering with the fresh tomato pasta sauce and perfectly cooked spaghetti noodles. It was blended well and tasty. Unfortunately, I have an allergy to scallop, but my friends said it was good. I think I would like to recommend this Pasta if you come to Jardin Perdu.

Price: 19,000₩

Gorgonzola Pappardelle (Beef Cream Pasta) was the best of the 5 foods I ordered! Usually, when I go to a restaurant I would like to spend sometimes to read a restaurant review. And the Gorgonzola Pappardelle has a lot of positive reviews, so I ordered that. When I tasted that the reviews aren't lying. It was good, the pasta sauce was great and they served the pasta with big pasta noodle which made this pasta more special. I personally like the texture of pasta noodles and not forget to mention the Beef Meat, it was tasty and tender. 5 stars for this pasta.

Price: 21,000₩

The Acciughe Risotto is Risotto made by Anchovy for the taste. Overall, the Risotto has really tasted "Anchovy" and I feel like eating an Anchovy porridge. Personally, it wasn't my favorite, but if you are fans of the Anchovy maybe this risotto can be great to order.

Seoul Subway Line 2 to Yeoksam Station (역삼역) exit 7 (NOTE: because of the restaurant quite far from the station by walk-around 15 mins, you better take a taxi to get there).

Overall, I really fall in love with the interior of the restaurant, the food was good but the price quite expensive. Yet, if you want to spend special time with the special person this restaurant is worth to try! And a little bit advice, you better make reservations before because sometimes the restaurant always packed with customers.

The dark clouds I have I wished I can kick that cloud away as soon as possible. I'm quite exhausted and sometimes feeling like everything was too much. But I always make a swear to myself to not give up when everything not happened as I want. I just believe, I surrounded by people who will be always loved me and never leave me alone. I'm pretty sure on the other side of the dark clouds is a bright blue sky. So I will be hanging here, keep trying and praying until the bright blue sky come. I hope you all do the same anytime the clouds pay a visit to your life, DO NOT EVER GIVE UP!
