Japanese Okonomiyaki

It was our ast weekend living in London, so we met Eileen to try the Japanese Okonomiyaki in near Leicester Square Station. The restaurant Abeno is really famous Okonomiyaki in town. I remember Eileen took me there last year, and I loved it so much.

Okonomiyaki is like the omelettes with different meats, or seafood or vegetables inside, and on top with Japanese mayonnaise sources. So we decided to take John there for his first Japanese meal in town. The restaurant is small with only three tables and a round sussi bar. Luckily, we got a table, then we tried some Japanese beers, two okonomiywaki with different meats, and one Om-Soba.

Waiters bought all the raw ingredients in a bowl and used teppan-yaki grill to pan-fried everything into a pancake. You got the entertainment from the waiter cooking in front of you. Then at last, dressing with Japanese mayonnaise, BBQ sources, then some fish flakes on top. (dressing are optional)

It was so tasty and highly recommended. Surprisingly John really loved it. I was not sure that Japanese food is his cup of tea, but he tried, and he liked it.

Fun Girls’ weekend

John went to Ireland a week for his business trip, so I asked Eileen to stay my house for the weekend, so girls can enjoy some champagne and eat different food. As we planned before, we went to eat unlimited PingPong Dimsum on Friday night, then we were back home and we drunk two bottles of Rose Wine while we were chatting. It was dizzy but so much fun to get crazy sometimes.

Next morning, I cooked my new recipes Green Thai Prawn with baby spanish and Jasmine rice for lunch. It was so easy to cook and we enjoyed it so much. Then we decided to travel to Wimbledon where Eileen lives and had a walk in the park, then went to try the famous Korean Barbecue in New Malden.

Jin Go Gae Korean BBQ Review

Eileen from Soul of South Korean so she introduced to us a lot of Korean food and culture. We have been tried different Korean food in Central London. However, people say that New Malden is one of the popular Korean communities and the food from there is more authentic and cheaper. While we were in Wimbledon, New Malden is just 10 minutes by bus.

Eileen has booked the table of the famous restaurant called Jin Go Gae, and Miwa joined us for dinner as well, so we hopped on the bus 131 from Central Wimbledon and went to Burlington Road. We are so glad that we booked the table, because it was a small restaurant, and packed with Korean, Japanese Asian people eating there.

First, we were served with several compliments dishes which is impossible to find in Central London. Then Eileen ordered three portions of BBQ Beef Ribs and two portions of Pork Belly. All the meats were Marianne with delicious sauces, and you Barbecued by yourself. Then when it was done, you need to use the raw Vegetable rapped with the meat plus some spicy green onion or rice. The meat was unbelievable tender and juicy. Miwa and I was eating non-stop and Eileen was laughing at us.

It was the most delicious Korean BBQ ever. I gave it 5 stars and we only paid £15 each! What a good meal and bargain!

女人周末大吃会

约翰去爱尔兰出差1周，我叫好朋友Eileen周末过来我家住，两个女的一起吃喝聊天。约了周5见面，先去PingPong喝茶吃点心。然后回到我家，两人买了1瓶香槟喝酒聊天，然后感觉还不够mood, 再去买多一瓶。聊天到凌晨1点然后睡觉。

隔天，我煮了泰国绿咖喱大虾加菠菜给Eileen，她说味道十分正宗也十分美味，全都吃完。然后我们去温布顿Eileen的家坐会，决定晚上吃期待已久的韩国BBQ烤肉料理。Eileen幸好定了位置，因为那家人十分受欢迎。美和决定加入我们的大吃团。进了餐厅，哇，烧烤肉的味道都漂入你鼻子，再看看，里面都是坐的全是韩国人和日本人。

韩国烤肉我实在太喜欢了，正宗的吃法是用碳熏肉，然后加生菜和辣葱和肉一起吃。我们点了3大份牛肉2大份猪肉。我和美和吃得太高兴，生活肉是奄过，烤完一点都不老，多汁加十分鲜甜！实在太野味了。Eileen总笑我们吃得狼吞虎咽，韩国烤肉实在太好吃了，我天天吃都没有可以。我们实在享受这次女人周末大吃会。

Morocco Food Review

Morocco Spice

I haven’t seen Miwa from Japan since I returned from China, so we went out on Saturday night. All of my good friends love eating and trying various nationality food in London. We discovered a restaurant in Soho called Maison Touareg .

I haven’t tried Morocco food before and I know the food is very popular and delicious. It is famous for their lamb and chicken. John can eat chicken, and I love lamb, so we give it a try.

Food is absolutely delicious and interestingly, you also can order those water-pipe (nor sure the real name.) I gave it 4 stars out of 5. Price is reasonable. Appetite is from £3, main course from £12, and wine is from £17. Each we paid £18, not bad indeed.

Pingpong Dimsum Review

pingpong-dimsum

After the business exam, Vicky, Miwa and us decided to have some dimsum as a reward after my hard revision. We chose famous Pingpong restaurant in Liverpool Street to have an unlimited dimsum. It means that you spent 17 pounds and eat whatever you want.

The restaurant environment is modern and stylish. John and I order some lychee drink, friends ordered some Wulong tea. The menu has about 15-25 choices for you to choose. Dimsum’s flavour was quite authentic. However, we all could tell that they were slightly westernised. Unbelievably, we ate 30 dishes in total, and I ate the most.

Overall, I think it’s worth trying and definitely worth 17 pounds if you can eat a lot like me. I will still recommend it for you to try the Pingpong Dimsum. Some more delicious dimsum pictures are here.

Environment: 4 / 5, Food: 3.5 / 5, service: 4 / 5

终于考完管理一科拉，我们决定要好好对待自己，所以去利物浦街出名的点心餐厅吃点心 － 乒乓点心。他们推出17磅任吃，啊，任吃点心，简直就是我的梦想嘛，实在太开心了。约翰和我点了荔枝果汁，他们点了茶，点心味道还蛮正宗的，但它做的稍微有点 ‘适合外国味道’。但是还是蛮好吃的，我们4人吃了30碟，强吧 （不过我吃的最多，他们的战斗力一般般呢）。不过总的来说，还是值得一试的，点心还是做得很不错。又有照片更新了。

总概括5星最好来说：环境：4星，食物3.5，服务：4星

Breakfast at Tiffany— Think of it

Tonight I saw “Breakfast at Tiffany” again. I have watched it for third time now. It is based on Truman Capote’s 1958 novella of the same title, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S (1961), is the story of a woman on her own making her way in the big city. The novel has a completely different ending compared with the movie. The movie version has of course got a happy ending. It’s such a classical movie and most people have watched it and love it.

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S is quirky, funny, bewildering, serious, sophisticated and bittersweet — and as movies go, great entertainment.

I love all the dresses in the 60s.

Audrey Hepburn always got her typical hair style and dress. There is a fatty ginger cat who doesn’t have proper name, and is just called “cat”. It is so cute and really fat. I also love the theme song “Moon River”, when Audrey is singing it with a little guitar. It’s very romantic and peaceful. Nowaday, we can hear Jazz version “Moon River” all the time. It reminds me of this movie every single time I hear it.

The last conversations in the movie make me think all the time:

Are people really afraid to get married or settle down in one place, because they don’t want to be tied up. Of course not everyone does, but some of us do.

Are we called a free spirit or wild thing because we are terrified somebody’s going to stick us in a cage? Maybe we are in a cage we build ourselves. No matter where we go, we just end up running into ourselves.

Like Paul in the movie said and answered it —life is a fact, and people do fall in love. People do belong to each other; because that’s the only chance any body’s got for happiness.

Yes, I think so. We will find our soul mate and the right person in my life. What do you think?

Well. It’s quite right about it.

Tiffany 的早餐—令我陷入沉思?

今晚我再看了（Tiffany 的早餐）这部经典的电影，由奥大莉 * 赫本主演，故事讲—-在这部高雅而又风格独特的社会讽刺和苦乐参半的爱情故事中，奥黛丽-赫本成功的扮演了一个追逐百万富翁，亿万富翁的迷惘的姑娘，霍莉-戈莱特丽经历着人生的颠簸流离，努力寻找自己的位置，渴求属于自己的“理想的归宿”，然而现实是残酷的。在物欲横流的社会中，她绮丽的梦想一个接着一个的破灭消遁了。她的人性是矛盾的，既纯洁善良，但又时常近乎轻佻虚荣，她诚笃情痴，但又多愁善变，她既祈望未来，却又回顾止步。

它是一部经典的美国电影，全世界的人都知道这部影片，10个中有8个喜欢并列为必看与珍藏的影片。“月亮河”就是从这部的主题曲到现在的爵士乐版本。

它故事最后说到，常常让我思考，是否每个人都很害怕结婚和安定下来，因为那样就意味着被束缚在一个人或一个圈圈里？当然不是全部人，少数人而已。

我们都希望有自由的灵魂或狂野的心去闯荡一番，因为我们害怕陷在一个框框里，也许我们已经在那框框里，因我们自己把自己捆起来，限定在一个位子里，无论我们到那里，最终都逃不出着框框。

象Paul 在故事中说的好，也回答了这个问题，生活是现实的，总有真爱的出现，彼此可以属于彼此，因这是唯一的东西让他们感到幸福. 我也觉得总会找到你的soul mate (真心人).

你们觉得呢?
