Korean Galbi House and Radio Clock bar

Had an awesome time this weekend! Tim had Thursday and Friday night off, so we had a date on Thursday and then Friday we went out seperately with our friends.

Thursday started out around 5 o'clock, we left our apartment and caught a cab to go downtown.

Tim ready to go out, looking all sexy. =)

When we arrived downtown we decided to walk around for a bit and see if we could find a place to eat we'd never been to. We ended up finding a "beef n' leaf" (known as "galbi houses" to koreans, we americans call it beaf n' leaf though).

"Galbi House"

Basically, a beef n' leaf is any of the korean restaurants that have the grills built into the tables and usually you cook your own meat, sometimes the servers will cook it for you.
The meat they have to choose from is usually marinated beef or pork, called galbi. Spicey beef or pork. Or bulgogi(barbequed sirloin) which they serve with salt and oil to dip in.

The meat is occompanied by lettuce, perilla, and ssamjang(sauce made of fermented bean curd, red pepper paste, sesame oil, onion, garlic).

They also serve banchan, which refers to small side dishes, most comonly consists of kimchi, Namul, bean sprouts, a salad made of sliced chives and green onions, and some others I haven't learned the names of.

Also on their menu you can order Jigae(stew) and kongbap(rice). We like their doenjang jjigae stew, which is made of doenjang(soybean paste), vegetables, seafood, and sometimes tofu.

After we ate, we went to one of our favorite bars, "radio clock", and played darts.

My favorite drink: Pink lemonade.
