Today, a very good friend of mine, Christine Yen got tied to the love of her life, Mr Archer, in a very colourful yet blessful ceremony in St Thomas Church. And this is my first time attending a friend's wedding in a church. There are a lot of things which i dont know whether i can do or shouldnt be doing, but luckily another friend was there to help.. thanks Ju an..

So, both wifey and I got prepared early in the morning, she got her make up done, i got my camera batteries fully charged hehehe.. and by 930am, we set out to St Thomas Church, in Kepayan. I was not the photographer but just a nosy friend with a camera.. hehehehe.

Korean dinner

So it was the same day as everyday, after work, pick up wifey from work then off we headed straight to home. Then suddenly she said, why dont we go eat something else tonight instead of the usual tapau.. Great, i also loathed the same routine stuff , so was thinking, why dont we revisit our Korean cuisine. Suddenly i wanted to play around with my food, therefore Korean BBQ was the first thing i had in mind, then without much persuasian, that was our menu for that night.

So off we go to Citimall, headed straight to the one and only Korean BBQ restaurant , the Restaurant was something called Supul.
 So having that menu on hand and we dont understand a single thing, some of the dishes was called dunno what BAK, some was called dunno what Jim, so we handed this noble responsibilty of ordering to our trusted waiter. So he introduce a few of the popular stuff and so there it was..
 The 5 variety of Kimchi..
 The usual suspect.. the original kimchi
 Some sort of rice cake, more like our chinese chu chang fun heheh :)
 Icy cold tofu with some nice topping

 A recommendation from the trusted waiter, and it was really a good pick GLASS NOODLE. Should try.
 Deng deng deng deng.. the main course, yummy marinated pork,
 and its companion.. RAM
 and the SIDEKICK

Instead of the usual electric pan, the bbq used real charcoal


A very unique aparatus, extendable exhaust fan,,
 So, that was how it should be placed, it is used to exhaust all the smell and smokes from the bbq set.

 Main course in the process..

So, this is how it should be eaten..


The icy cold cabbage as the plate, then you will have your slices of meat ontop of it, then u place some kimchi onto it, then another piece of cabbage to cover it, VOILA.. there u go..


 This is HOW you should eat.. chuck everything in your mouth in one go.. hahahhha



It seems, the is a switch in ownership, and the lady boss has been quite friendly, teaching us how to eat in the Korean way, compliment us another few plates of Kimchi, and even help us to cut the chunky Ram into smaller pieces.

Worth another visit :)

a simple advice

plan what you want
do what you have planned
never regret on what you have done.
