Finding Bum’s Story | April 25th, 2012

I didn’t get to blog about this, and it is a month overdue, but after about a year of longing to go drinking at JaeJoong’s restaurant, I finally got to go there with my friends last month!

It was a Wednesday, and weather was cray. It rained the whole day, which was quite a hassle considering the places we went to. The rain + walking long distances totally wore us out. We braved it and got to go to a several spots that day. We ended up hanging out at Holly’s Cafe in MyeongDong, to rest. By night time we were already starving and we wanted to taste Joongie’s food, so we set out to find Bum’s.

One of my unnie’s gave us directions, and we followed that. Line 7, Gangnam-gu Office Station, Exit 3. But OMG the long walk killed us. To be honest I didn’t expect it, so while walking I was starting to have second thoughts, and kept checking my phone, the maps and also opted to call a friend just to make sure. ^^’

Luckily after the tiring walk (we had shopping bags with us, I had my macbook too, basically we were carrying loads of stuff, both our feet and arms were dying), we found Bum’s!!! : D It was kind of late at night (around 10pm?), we were starving, but OH MY GOSHHH we got there and we were finally going to taste JaeJoong(‘s food!)!!!!! Haha.^^

      
Once we got in, there was definitely a calm atmosphere. Lighting was quite dim and it gave a relaxing ambiance, definitely fit for drinking. LOL. JaeJoong’s songs were also being played in the restaurant. A staff assisted us and directed us to a table. The first floor was quite full, there were groups here and there (most likely fans too^^). After settling down, we ordered our food~

   
   
We had soju, okonomiyaki, prawns (ordered by accident!), hitsumabushi and… a chicken dish. We opted to share food, and huu everything tasted really, really good. (Or it could be the hunger talking… lol) I had prawns after such a long time! I’m actually allergic to it you see, but Trishy ordered it by accident^^’ I still had it of course, but since I forgot to bring meds for the allergy, I had to ask for sugar from the staff to fight the itching >< The unnie looked at me weird at first, but was nice and still gave me sugar. Haha^^ I felt better after that~~

   

^Trishy dongsaeng and Shine unnie ^^

   
We spent about 80,000won for everything. And that is quite pricey, because you can already eat dinner for less than 10,000won. But this is JaeJoong’s restaurant, and it IS a Japanese restaurant so spending a bit more than usual is acceptable (-ish). Haha  ^^ And we enjoyed everything anyway, and I would love to go back again! ^^

 So basically for me…

  • Bum’s Story has a nice atmostphere. Mostly fit for late night drinking/bonding sessions with your buddies or colleagues. And heyyy they play JYJ/JaeJoong/TVXQ songs!
  • They are a bit on the pricey side. ^^’ If you want to try more dishes, and also plan on drinking a lot, bring extra moolah, loves!
  • They’ve got good food. We enjoyed what we ordered so far, so they get happy point from me.^^ (Although a friend said that compared to other Japanese restaurants, Bum’s could do better~~ But everyone has different tastes and experiences right, so try it out for yourself!)
  • A must visit for all JaeJoong fans!^^ (Does this even need explanation? Haha.)

Hugs

I’ve never seen myself as a touchy person. Just normal, I guess.

But ah, it just dawned on me how much I crave for that kind of affection (not necessarily romantic; ). Like, whenever I do get to hug anyone, a friend or a family member, I always feel a lump in my throat, always feel my eyes stinging, always feel my heart bursting.

Hugs are soothing, comforting and idk, it makes me feel like everything will turn out just fine even when things seem to be crumbling to the pieces.


Hugs are a luxury for me. I don’t get it often. But I would like it more than words. Hugs would really make me happy. (Good lord, I sound like a kid, but really, I feel this way)

If I do get children of my own in the future, I’d make sure to hug them every chance I get. I know I won’t be very good with words, at times my temper and emotions get the better of me. So an embrace it will be.

Such a random entry I know~~~ But the gloomy weather has got me all emotional, somewhat. : ))

Anyway, hugs can do people wonders. Don’t forget.

Favorite: Ottugi’s Cheese Bokki!

Hi! How have you guys been?  I just came back from vacation! (Okay maybe not “just came back” because it has been a week but… lol) Anyway, I felt like writing about one of my favorite Korean snacks, the Cheese Bokki! I have a long, long list of favorite Korean food / snacks (will probably make an entry for that soon), but this one takes the top! 

So….. Cheese Bokki? WTH is that? It’s cheese-flavored ramyeon/noodles!  Okay I know it sounds weird, but it’s really, really good! Katie and I first had Cheese Bokki during our 2010 Seoul trip. There was a convenience store at the Hongik Station underground, and before we took the elevator to our hostel, we stopped by to buy food we could try out and snack on while watching the latest SungKyunKwan Scandal episode.

Katie was looking through the ramyeon isle, and amongst all the spicy ramyeon bowls, there was one that had CHEESE. CHEESE X RAMYEON? We just had to try it out! Being lovers of anything cheesy, Katie and I bought it and huuuurrr the rest is history. 

More under ze cuuuuut~~
