Dinner @ Siti Sarah: Indonesian Restaurant in Itaewon

It's Saturday night...and Park Hyun-ju sonsaengnim visited us from Daejon. Yes, she's been our regular guest in Seoul. In fact, she's more like a family member to us since she lived in Jogjakarta for 3 years 5 years ago. 

Yes..Park sonsaengnim was teaching Korean language at our university, Gadjah Mada University back then. And...the fact that she lived in Jogja for 3 years...really left a big impression on her. She's an avid lover of Indonesian food.^^ 

So...since she's in town...we took her along with my family to Siti Sarah. 

Tahu, tempe, nasi goreng, sotol ayam bakar, lele bakar, es teh...and well...other Indonesian cuisine were ......all set right in front of us. 

토요일밤이라서 그런지 진짜 손님들이 많이 모여 있네요. 

한참 기다렸지만 ....배가 고파서....잘 먹었음. 

맛있었죠, 쌤?^^ (*tentuuu)

Gathering @ Ashley, Hongdae

One of the purposes of Pak Tri's visit to Korea was to make a gathering of his students who happen to be studying in Korea, or Seoul in particular.  Pak Tri called up a meeting and he asked me to arrange it...*aha*!!! I got an idea of booking one of my favorite places to have a buffet^-^: Ashley. But, boy..oh boy..since it was weekend, my intention of booking the one nearest to my place didn't work out..so, we got to go as far as Hongdae to have this gathering. In short, it's a good decision. 

Lina (Sookmyung), Mr. Park Hyun-ju (our beloved teacher who once taught Korean language at our university in Jogjakarta), Rio sonsaengnim, Sonya (Gangneung Wonju Univ). and Feby (Gwangju + SNU). 

Nining sonsaengnim (Busan University+ Inha Univ), and Diana (Hanyang Univ), and of course, Pak Tri Mastoyo himself.  We did spend 2-hour allotted time for all guests at Ashley to enjoy the buffet over friendly talk..or vice versa. 

An exchange of token...from ms. Park to Pak Tri 과장님. 

then...the one from Pak Tri to ms. Park.
