Lotteria for Lunch

 It was actually lunch time and yet we had not had anything to eat...
So, the only thing that I had come to get familiarized myself with is....Lotteria. Since we were still at Seoul Station, the best thing to do was getting into Lotteria ...which turned out to be so crowded during lunch hour. Then, I noticed that Lotteria offered a special discounted price for lunch menu. Oh...I see.

That’s why lots of people were jammed sitting on almost all seats available and visible there.  The only way to get any seat was just patiently waiting for any customers who’d finished their lunch. It  paid off...after 10 minutes or so we managed to secure seats for us to enjoy our Shrimph burgers. The kids loved the french fries.
I know...I know...it was the first day in Kore

a...and yet...we had not Korean traditional menus for the family...instead it  was Korean-style westernized burger^^....well..at least it was Korean brand^^.

Or .....that was not the exact reason as to why we ate there.....first, I came there often. Second, it was fast (fast foodJ), third: we needed to skip time...and fourth....hey....it turned out to be a good dealJ ^^.

Another pizza, eh?

Got kinda bored (hmmm I dunno as to whether 'bored' is the right word for it) of having to eat instant rice--the one that I have to put in the microwave before consuming. Yep, that IS the kind of food that I consume almost everyday right here in Seoul. It is all simply because we are not allowed to cook our own food:) well, I understand that it is for the good reasons like avoiding any irresponsible persons from setting fire to the dorm out of their clumsiness or ignorance. So, the management might as well prohibit any cooking activities.
OK ..back to my entry...
Since it's been like two months since I got in Seoul...and get myself accustomed to consume instant food, today I felt like wanting to have something else....
But...no matter how hard I tried to think of what to eat...
my brain seemed not to cooperate...^^
Instead of having the so-called  slow food like healthy Korean food that I like such as bibimbap or anything with tofu in it......, I talked myself out of the blue.....to have a pizza.

Yes....it was pizza for lunch.
Since the last time I bought one ...I remembered not being able to eat it all up by myself...I asked Wawan to split the bill. It turned out that he found it OK, too.
OK then...off we went to the same pizza place that I went to the previous week.
Only this time, I did not order veggie pizza, instead we had potato pizza with cheese, mozzarella, onion, garlic, paprika, sweet corn, mushrooms, and of course...the potato on it. ( I guessed there must be some other ingredients..that I simply do not know of).
Then...'tis a good lunch indeed. It was a good thing that we could have different kind of lunch.
OK...enough for today.

Pizza Time

What's the buzz word for today in my head? Pizza.

What's the fuzz about it? Fiesta.
Well, I just want to pamper myself with something that I want to eat today.
It's my second time: ordering a pizza of my fave at this pizza house.
It's near, cheap, and all veggies:) That's just what I like about it.
Seoul Cheese Pizza or how it is called is a small pizza house right at the back of my language institute.
A 1 minute jump away from the class.
Oh I remembered having this pizza last semester. Right. It was when I was in the previous class.


 Ok. back to today's story.
I just got finished having my class where the teacher asked each student about the midterm result. Since it was an achievement for me ......for having got a good mark (at least to my --beyond--expectation)..I thought of having to pamper or treat myself with something. So, Pizza just popped out my head...and there I was. I was zooming into this pizza house and ordered the vegetable pizza.
For about 15 minutes or so of waiting, finally the pizza that I ordered just oozed out of the kitchen. ^^
Nicely wrapped with a red ribbon on it, I was bringing it to my room where I had my sumptuous lunch ever. (Does it mean that I never had one before?;) oooooooooohhhhhh
well, you see...I got to live properly in the sense that I cannot just use the money recklessly....even for a 6,000 Won pizza...I got to wait for something this good to happen...:) ^^
I will always be thankful and cherish the day when I could just eat whatever I want to have.
As a student on a scholarship, I could not just use the money at the expense of my daily necessities. So, that includes being able to constrain or to restrain myself from eating expensive food.
As a student on a foreign land, I got to make myself aware that I cannot just throw myself into the seemingly edible and affordable food--where the fact says the opposite.
That is why...I was so happy to have this pizza that I was saving it for my dinner....:) ^^. sounds pathetic....well, not for those who understand how a foreign student must cope with the budget adjustment of their own.
Once again,....I was sooo happy to be able to eat this pizza.

oh, back to my story at the pizza house;
while I was waiting for my pizza, I got this idea of capturing the interior of this humble pizza house.
then...
even before eating it, I took my time to take some shots of this pizza.
oh....it looks so nice.
Thank You God. Alhamdulillah for having blessed me with a chance to be able to eat pizza.
^^

Dinner time @ Home Plus (part two)

LOTTERIA.
There used to be a chain store in front of my present campus. But, I don't know why it stopped operating.
This Lotteria Store is dubbed the best national brand for fast food franchise store in the country.
Oh, one new notion that I was particularly interested in is...a device that each customer receive after ordering. It was like a beeper with lights and vibrate mode on it. Once our order is done or ready, the device will light up and vibrate so as to inform the customer that their orders are ready. The thing is that...there are not many servants here, so everything must be done solely and voluntarily by the customers.....even the clean-up process after having a meal in the restaurant. I think this is one thing that differentiate Indonesian fast food restaurant and its counterparts in Korea.

I guess lots of Koreans do come here.
As for myself, there are a lot of things that I can eat here, considering that I cannot eat meat at all. So, there is this particularly delicious burger: no other than Shrimp Burger or 새우버거 (seubeogeo). The set menu costs as much as 4,900 Won. Of course it is a bit expensive, but considering the fact that I've wanting to eat this one.....I could not stop my temptation of having to eat there.
I wanted to try their onion ring and cheese potato, actually.
But, thankfully, I could refrain myself from being obnoxious. Well, I am not sure whether I am using the right term...but it was just that I am not gusto-type of guy. So, I eat decently.:)
Back to my menu.
It was so delicious that I felt a deep relieved of being able to eat there.
Alhamdulillah.
