2018! I still alive, breathing, and healthy which I pretty grateful enough for that. 2017 has been quite hard for me, maybe the hardest time I ever had before. But, I don't want to remember the bad thing and I want to say thank you to God for everything for right now while praying in this 2018, and for the next, I'll always be happy, be able to enjoy foods 3 times per day, have a home as shelter to keep me warm and surround by lovely friends & families. I'll just pray for a simple thing whose making me always be strong and grateful to face the world.
Okay, enough for sad stories and let's start my story about My 2018's First Meal from Butterfinger Pancakes / 버터피핑거 팬게익 located in Gangnam Area. 2018's First day, the weather didn't really cold compare 2 days before, the Gangnam Area which usually packed with people not really crowded, made my step lighter than usual. I met my closest friends and straight away to Butterfinger Pancakes because of we all starving and ready to savor our first meal in 2018.
Because the food selections are very "western," Butterfinger Pancakes quite popular with Korean and foreigners who have lived in Korea. When we arrived there, we need to wait around 10 minutes for the table and I can see a lot of foreigners inside the restaurant. The restaurant interior looks American old breakfast cafe, with tall chair and table, and cashier desk with an American restaurant theme.
After we got our table, we are rushing to pick the foods, varied menu choices made us very excited and every menu seems delicious, but in the end, we decided to pick 1 sweet food and 1 salty food (I went there with 2 friends). We ordered Split Decision Plate and Triple-Berry Pancakes with Ice Cream.
Okay, finally the Split Decision Plate served at our table. It was my very first meal in 2018 so I'm pretty excited for that. Split Decision Plate was amazing, on the menu they wrote "Can't make up your mind? Then. We'll decide for you!! You'll get a bit of everything!!" And that's really good decision when we the menu was served. Eggs, Pancakes, French Toast, Breakfast Sausage, White Sausage, Grilled Ham Steak, Bacon Stripes, Seasonal Potatoes are completed served on the same Plate, Split Decision Plate. Like they said, I've got everything! It was a perfect combination of the delicate pancakes, perfect french toast, combined with the tasty and salty Sausages. The Seasonal Potatoes were my favorite, it was smooth and tasteful. Split Decision Plate was like typical American breakfast and that was a perfect fit for my taste. The price quite high, but it is worth compared with the taste and you absolutely can share with friends (I have small belly, it was like impossible to eat that by myself).
Price: 22,800₩
The Triple-Berry Pancakes served beautifully includes Cranberry and Blueberry Pancakes covered with house-made Raspberry Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream. It was another perfection! After filling my tongue with salty taste the Triple-Berry Pancakes was the perfect choice to wash our mouth with sweet and little sour taste. The pancakes, of course, awesome, they soft and sweet while the Cranberry and Blueberry give a bit sour taste, the combination was perfect! The house-mode Raspberry Cream was soothing and delicious, I felt like eating yogurt, the texture was soft and very well matched with the Pancakes. And within a minute the Triple-Berry Pancakes was gone!
Price: 12,800₩
Butterfinger Pancakes now being my list "The Restaurant I need to come again." I feel like it was a really good choice to start my first day of 2018. The food was great and I like the interior as well, the price not really cheap, but the food's taste was great so I think it was worth and you can share with friends as well.

When I woke up on my January's first day morning, I just put my hand together and pray for the good thing in my life, I'm praying for an ordinary life full of happiness.
Nobody wakes up thinking, "My world will explode today." "My world will change." Nobody thinks that. But, sometimes, it happens. Sometimes, we wake up, we face our fears. We take them by the hand. And we stand there, waiting, hoping, ready for anything.
I want to make my 2018 being a good year for me because 2017 has been the hardest year I ever had in my life. I just will continue life positively and gratefully.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018.
I hope life treats you kind.
