Just Food

Post-movie-watching dinner with the kids. Udong+Albab+Noodles.

Home-made brownies with cheese on top.

A slice of brownies....home-made edition.

100-meter from home.,,,Bapuri, a restaurant where we usually have our gimbab..김밥, cheese rapukki 치즈라뿍이 and other Korean food.

and...백짬뿡  or white champung...

Gimgane.....Dine Out for Hungry Bikers!!

It's impossible to continue riding our bikes unless we had our dinner first. We learned that a nearby subway station was around the block when I noticed this familiar signage.

Yup...we decided to have our dinner at Gimgane.

We simply parked our bikes right in front of the restaurant.

Mom ordered seafood fried rice. Hmmmm looked so.yummy.!!!

"Can I have some, Mom?"

As for me, veggie gimbab was more than enough to satisfy my hunger!!!

Freya ordered 잔치국수 janchiguksu...

Which took.....a dear of time to.prepare.

As for Eyra, she didn't even budge...she prefered Udong....her favorite dish....anywhere.

Yup...she started digging in...as it arrived on the table.

Ok....eat a lot...and let's get back home by subway!!

Let's have Some Lunch

Lunch, dinner...whenever ..whichever...Bapuri family restaurant is just around the block.

And there are some indispensable menu whenever we go there.

Right, Freya?^^

It's veggie gimbab or sometimes shrimp gimbab. 

Of course, with ham excluded on purpose.^^ 

The colorful combination of ingredients that make up and give meaning to the word 'gimbab' really sums up how it does taste.

Then, chijjeu rapukki (cheese on top of ramyeon and ttteokpukki 'rice cakes') with its spicy gochujang 'chili powder' sauce gives an unforgiving taste in the sense that we're hooked on this particular food.^^

Then..udon or udong with its crispy tofu-like crackers on top of it.

We do love having each of them for either lunch or dinner...well...twice a week, maybe.^^

August 11, 2014: Lunch to Celebrate Our 12th Years of Marriage

We're planning to go to some place special..but since I was a bit tight up today...we only went to a nearby restaurant "Bapuri" where we had what the kids wanted to have: cheese rapukki. 치즈라뽂이. Yes..it's not something fancy or glamorous but...this was what the kids wanted for their lunch. And...Freya loved it. 

Yes...we've been together for about 12 years since 2002!!!^^ 

* THank YOu, Freya ..for taking the pic.

after having gimbab and cheese rapukki, we moved on into a nearby cafe and ordered mint-chocolate-ice flakes 초코민트빙수^^  and some bubble tea for the kids. 

Again..this was also nothing much compared to what we cherished. 

Alhamdulillah. 

Thank you, Mama for being with me all these years.

Thank you, Eyra and Freya for being such wonderful daughters.

I love you all. ^^ 사랑해요. 

@ Bapuri

The nearest restaurant serving Korean food: Bapuri. SInce its initial opening months ago, I never see an empty atmosphere. I think lots of people start to find it useful.

Today, we ordered the cheese rapukki,..치즈 라뽁이 , and 비빔국수 or spicy mixed noodle. The latter was so spicy that I gave up eating....^^

It looked like they started to find spicy food as a challenging treat.

Though hot and spicy as it was, they managed to make the best of their time.

Otherwise....

Morning Snack in Jogjakarta: Mini Durian and Gimbab

We were startled by the thin thud sound. It turned out to be a mini durian that just fell off the tree. We picked it up and sliced it open....only to find that it had no flesh enough to eat. 

But..what intrigued us was the size of the Durian. It's as small as a broccoli!!!

Did we eat it, then? Heck, no.:) 

But, instead, we had gimbab that my wife and her sister prepared for us.

We brought along most of the ingredients from Korea and we did it right here in Jogja. 

I could boast to say that even though we're in Jogja, we did have some Korean snacks or food occasionally. how cool is that, eh?

What's for Lunch? Kimbab!!!

Kimbab? Of course, the only kimbab I can eat is vegetable kimbab (야채김밥/ yachaekimbab).

Since it was raining cats and dogs outside, I felt reluctant to go out. 

The office restaurant's menu served pork, hams, fish, and other things that I cannot eat. hmm..being a vegetarian is fun but at times it's a bit hard, as well. 

Then..came along Seonhee who asked me if I wanted to have some kimbab. 

Sure, why not. So, she bought me some..and that's my lunch. 

The wrapping box of the kimbab that I had the other day.

A good lunch? hmm...yeah. sure. I liked it.
