Dinner with Korean friends

I went out with 2 korean friends some time ago and was brought to nice places for dinner.


First was with Ahmi (Flora and RX's classmate), who brought the 3 of us to a nice italian restaurant called Nolita near school. The restaurant is tucked in a quiet corner of the busy Ewdae street and is small but cozy. The ambience is good and has the perfect setting for a nice dinner with pals. The food was delicious as well and according to Ahmi who lived in Europe before (she went to Finland for exchange), they serve authentic italian food. I enjoyed the spaghetti, salad and bread a lot... It's really a refreshing taste from the usual korean food which I've been eating. Thanks to Ahmi who introduced us to the place, as the restaurant is really quite difficult for foreigners to locate.




Next up was dinner with Minjin, my classmate and language exchange partner, Flora and sq. Minjin is a korean who emigrated to Canada since young and has lived in Japan for a year before and is now back in Korea as an exchange student. We will meet up informally whenever we can to learn new languages over a casual setting. I'll teach her Chinese and she'll teach me Korean and Japanese. Dinner that day was grilled chicken, vegetables, noodles and rice tossed in hotplate, followed by dessert of fruit yoghurt. It was a happy night out as dinner and dessert were yummy and we learnt many new Korean and Japanese vocabulary from Minjin~ =)
