Korean Food and Friday Night Laughs

Had a great time wid some frens on a friday nite after a hard week at work. We had dinner at AWON, a korean bbq-steamboat place located at Excelsior Hotel. It was pretty fun as we joked about practically everything, lol.

The 'restaurant' was pretty rundown, I won't even call it a restaurant as the minute I stepped into it, it had a cafeteria feel to it. Either that or it felt like someone's house kitchen. We were given a private room so that made it feel even more like we were having dinner in someone's house, lol. Also, there were loose wire hanging off the paint-peeling walls with poor ventilation.

The food was not bad at all but not worth the price of $25.80+ even though it was buffet of limited food of marinated beef, chicken, pork and prawns and some other side dishes. It was steamboat style and due to the small surface area of the steamboat cooker, the pace was slow as we had to wait for the meat to cook afterwhich everyone took one thinly sliced meat each while we cook the next set of meat.

Thankfully, the company of people made up for the dining experience as we shared jokes and laughed so hard. Also we had a 30% discount as a fren used her credit card to pay first and so we each had to pay $20. We all left the place smelling like we had worked in a kitchen for ten hours.

Next, we headed to Starbucks for coffee where we had more silly laughs. We went into nonsense discussion about what the Starbucks logo meant. I kept saying the logo is a mermaid but they disagreed so we were all supposed to find out online. lol. Anyway here are some pix taken of last night.
