Abiko Curry, a branched Japanase Curry restaurant is famous for their spiciness. I've been wanting to eat here since 2010 when 1tym's Jinhwan and baekkyoung first open their branch in Gangnam. Instead of gangnam I made my way to Abiko Curry Myeongdong branch.
The menu is quite simple with a choice of either curry rice, hashed rice or curry udon. Main menu price is within the range of 6,000₩ to 10,000₩
There is also set menu.
We ordered the seafood set with an additional topping of melting cheese, green onion, garlic flake for a total of 15,000₩.
We ordered level 1 of spiciness because usually restaurant in korea even on the first level can get quite spicy. Abiko is well-known for its spiciness so we thought level 1 should be enough but boo it was not at all. I personally love the taste but my friend after some time got enough of the greasiness and could not finish halfway. So maybe you can skip the melt cheese if you can't handle greasy food well.
For every meal set you can choose either pepsi or cider
Anyway, I'm satisfied with the taste and totally would like to pay another visit for maybe the vegetarian set. But the price is definitely not suggestable for struggling student like me :(
The closest subway station is the line 2, euljiro(1)ga station. The restaurant is in the same row of CU and the building next to YG Republique.

pretty cafe right in front of abiko curry. This cafe was featured in tasty road
so much feelings for this statement. It's like some scene from the kdrama you know. shit just got real. no, shit is real since like 14-15 years ago (hul, I'm just 15 now lol). managers are always scary. I wonder how all these idols can survive by listening to what their managers said (with the exception of fin.k.l tho. unnirs just too awesome). I'm glad that some of the H.O.T members are still relevant right now. I mean, wouldn't it be sad the fact that you are once big back then but is a nobody now? and I'm happy the fact that Shinhwa still exist and in their own company. At least, they can do whatever they want now....maybe
at the end of the day, you can't deny just how much all your unnis and oppas said they are making 'music' the thing they all 'love', deep down it's still all about business. I can totally see that more than half of idols today are just practically 'product' from their own company. Acting like a puppet all innocent and stuffs, doing all the fan services but still didn't get much from those. how can they choose this route? but still mad respect for them for still living till this day :P
I don't know why I'm posting this stuff lol. I'm not that big fan of H.O.T. in fact, I think I like sechskies more. Couple is on my replay right now.
so umm, where should I start? this whole stage is pure awesome. After watching T-ara's comeback (which is right before 2NE1's) the fact that 2NE1 is performing just 1 song hit me hard. The fact is......quite....sad? Comeback stage should be special, should be one of a kind.
But then suddenly CL's voice goes all 'R U READY? R U READY?' I was screaming and my hands are all over. And then she raps, OMG guys, she rap! CL FREAKING DID A RAP! This is just my thought but I can't help to think the rap is actually from their next track. CL did say their next song will be hip hop. and remember MAMA 2010? GD&TOP did performed their INTRO which was yet to release (at that time).
The parrot oh yeah, the parrot. Queen look so badass with parrot on her shoulder @#$%^&*() At first I thought it was the same parrot which was in YG's room but its not :( I don't get what the fuss of her bringing parrot on stage. It was the same parrot from IU's MV afterall. So, why don't you guys go file a report on IU too? (which I highly do not recommend because IU is precious to me~~~)
When I LOVE YOU start with Minzy on the floor and the guy dancer grab her hands, I was totally spazzing because I thought it was Deuk. My Mindeuk hearts are all excited until I found out it was Don :( WAEEEEEE?! papelah, dony pun dony lah =='
OMG Dony is so hot x10000000000000 He looks like Dalmatian's Simon! Now that I think about it, He must be getting nearer and nearer to his debut or not. The fact that he is appoint to be the main dancer for this performance. No wonder he got time to tweet lately :P It's actually good to see he is back dancing again. Which means KWON TWINS IS BACK Y'ALL! :D
The dance, lol expect to see Taeyang's sushi dance more from now onward. :D I really love the dance at the last bridge. It looks like the dance from fire which I personally think so cool.
p/s: oh yeah, I just changed my tumblr's url to CROWN-DONY.TUMBLR.COM in tribute to my undying love to dony (though my bias is deukkie :P)
[TRANS] 120618 YOO INNA’S CONFESSION SPEECH ON HER RADIO SHOW, REVEALING HER OFFICIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JI HYUNWOO!
“There is something that I really want to say during today’s session of ‘Raise the Volume’ (about her relationship with Ji Hyunwoo)… I knew this would have a huge impact career-wise, so I was extremely careful… and my mind was wandering all over the place. I thought to myself, ‘Despite the results and reactions from the outside, is this love that I’m allowed to take part of?’ This was the kind of belief I had. If I’m not sure, as much as this is my job and my career, it was difficult and that was the belief I had… For ten days I thought about it immensely, and came to the conclusion that we should purely only consider our feelings and nothing else… I finally contacted him two days ago… I finally called Ji Hyunwoo, who waited for me all this time even though he was probably anxiously waiting (for an answer). We met up at the park and as we were walking along, he said that ‘Although Queen Inhyun’s Man (the drama they recently starred in and met together) is over, I want to try to be Yoo Inna’s Man’. I like him. I have found assurance and I am certain. And he has given me those feelings. I would like to start a beautiful relationship with him and meet him more than anyone else. And Ji Hyunwoo-ssi, as promised, please stop smoking now.”

OMG I legit cried! This is just so sweet. Hyun Woo is so damn sweet! He waited for the girl for 10 days! Imagine how he must be feeling with everyone talking about him drop the bomb yet the girl hasn't even answered him yet. anxious? nervous? I can't imagine it myself. As a fan myself I came up with a lot of 'what if'. You know what if, In Na doesn't like him. what if In Na wanted to focus on her career? What if they are just going to be together for a mere weeks until he entered military? Oh my, this is so bittersweet.
I finally called Ji Hyunwoo, who waited for me all this time even though he was probably anxiously waiting
!!!!!!!!!!! x100000000000000!
Ji Hyunwoo-ssi, as promised, please stop smoking now.
wow the guy is going to stop smoking! You know, I was watching 'becoming a billionaire' this evening and kept on thinking, Hyun Woo's lip is so ugly (yeah I said it :P).
I still remember my first time listening to Kang Seung Yoon,
It was this exact performance. I hated it. so much. I used to think he is annoying. Yonghwa's wannabe and those expressions. pfft, konon swag la.
But after listening to this song, I totally LOVE this song. no, I totally love HIM!! Something about his voice that I totally adore. His falsetto is just asdfghjkl. YG people is the best in falsetto! and I have this video in my mp4 and watch them every day while waiting for my ride at school.
yeah, I feel you jongsuk :')
I even watch the 100+ episodes of high kick because of him! Tell you what, this guy only appear for like 5 minutes in the third episode and made his comeback in the TENTH episodes! while me, I watch every single episode just to catch a glimpse of him!
He even made Krystal relevant in my list. I mean, I don't really like Krystal and f(x) in general but after watching her in high kick I guessed she is not that bad
I really cannot wait for him to debut. Imagine if he is going to debut in an idol group with him being the main vocal and leader, Dony as main dancer and B.I as main rapper. wow!!! but then again, I think if he just debut as a main vocal for some band is better :\
now, before you go, check out some of his awesome released and covers,
The last song is the song he wrote himself for his mother while he was in superstar k2, brilliant song from a boy with over 140 IQ!
Listen this song with his short but heartwarming lifestory. He had been one lonely boy - only son raising by a single mother. He have not seen his father since his parents divorsed - seven or eight years ago. Perhaps due to this loneliness, he became hang around with a wrong crowd of friends in his junior high - drinking and smoking. But during the 8th grade (junior), he got beaten from his so-called friends in front of his school mates. Then shamed younger Sengyoon quit the school and get depressed - he said he could not come out of his house. His mother runs a small store to make a living but it did not make much money. He observed his mother crying while drinking alone in the night. He was so sorry for his mother but he did not what to do. When his mother registered him to an institute preparing for high school qualifying exam, he decided that the only thing he can do is to get it up again. In a month, he passed the exam. Meanwhile he also began to learn billiards and guitar. He felt comfort while playing guitar and sing songs. He recovered his confidence. He even became a youth representative of Busan in billiards. As a mother, I am really cheering for Sengyoon.
If you know me well, then you must know just how much I love Yoo In Na. I am practically obsessed with her :P
How can a person be this pretty?
Just how much I love her? emm let's see, the fact that I watch Heroes almost everyday and secret garden even though she appeared once in a blue moon. To make things worst, I even watch The Greatest Love (I don't know why I just can't stand watching Gong Hyo-Jin and her character is so asdfghjkl)
see, It's hard to be Inna's fan when nobody is T___T When I found out she is going to do QIHM, I was so happy. First, she is finally getting the leading role. Second, I like Ji Hyun Woo since he sang 10cm's song in the first episode of Invicible Youth. Talk about first impression.
Remember when there was news about Inna dating Son Ho Young? I spazzed. No, I was TOTALLY spazzing telling everyone about it. Unfortunately, few hours later, YG released statement it is not true :'(
now back to QIHM. The drama is brilliant! not to cheesy, not to plain. They guy is not like typical K-dramas heroes. I admit Hyunwoo is not the most handsome hero out there. Yet, he managed to make everyone wanting him. IDK how to describe his character, he is just too perfect. Smarty pant, romantic, caring and sometime effortlessly hilarious.
By watching their BTS pics, one could easily guess they ARE loving each other. I swear that every comments I read, everyone talk about them being real-life couple.
Today, I woke up to the news Hyunwoo confess to Inna. Yes guys he actually CONFESS to Inna!! wow. and now the net are going crazy talking whether Inna should accept him or not. There are many speculation saying how this might just be a one-sided love. sigh. Even though I'm a big fan of her, I admit I still cannot figure out what Inna might be thinking right now.
The saying that Inna might reject him because YG will not let her date, I have to say it is 99% not true, IMO. As an avid YG fan, I know that he will not butt in this relationship. WHY? don't ask me, the feeling is just there
I just hope that this couple will be a success. YG's 5th official couple!!
I use this picture because it seems like this is Inna's favourite picture :P
Last year the 13th November/December(idr) I went to The Peak, Hong Kong. I was hoping to take awesome pictures at Madame Tussauds and maybe some selca to make my friends jealous. haha and this is the best picture I got
Mission failed. Nobody is jealous whatsoever. Well, screw you guys. hmph =='
Then we went to the rooftop to enjoy the scenery and taking photos and stuff. While we were busy enjoying the scenery, I heard a crowd cheering and some male voice singing korean. I knew it was korean but I don't want to go to the other side of the place alone so I just stay at my current place and play with my sister and brother. While I was writing a love note (I almost wrote 'I love you, Woo Jiho' on the note :P), I suddenly heard those singer said, "Hello we are Ulala Session" My eyes got huge and quickly grab my sister by the wrist and ran to the other section. I was totally spazzing and ask my sister whether she still remember Ulala Session because I know I've told her the story about them winning and about one of their member got cancer. My sister being her, totally forgot about the story. grrrrrrrr.
The place, it was full of people and I can see a band facing backward and some cameramen recording. The stairs was blocked by 2 security guard and I was clueless on how to go to the front. Then my sister led the way and went to the other stairs. IT IS ULALA SESSION! ULALA SESSION IN FRONT OF MY EYES! I also spotted Christina well in fact she was singing atm.
The performance did not last for more than 5 minutes (at least, for me) and after it ended people start to move out and I was left there standing alone with my sister. I looked to my left and saw one white girl being interview by the cameraman. I was stunted on how fluent she can talk in front of the camera, thinking that I'll never get to do the same thing. lol. Suddenly, one cameraman came to me. My sister and I were ignoring him and let out an awkward laugh. totally awkward. very awkward. In much awkwardness, the word 'I love Ulala Session' suddenly slipped out of my mouth. Realizing that I let out another awkward laugh but the cameraman did not feel the same as me in fact he grew his eye wide and said,
'REALLY? 0.0'
'yeah'
'You really know Ulala Session?'
'who don't?'
'here follow me'
so yeah, he brought me towards the private area.
'You wanna take photo with them, right? you have camera?'
my sister showed him her camera. The guy then called Ulala and said something in Korea. ooohhhh paham paham.
I don't know them well so my information about their name might be wrong. I swear I work really hard just to search for their name.
staff: talking in korea. ohhhhh yeaahhh cet paham hang cakap apo.
Seung Il: woah you really know us?
me: yes!
Seung Il then took off his glove and shake my hand. Kwang Sun then did the same. Note that only two members who came and that is, Seung Il and Kwang Sun.
KS: Where are you from
me: Malaysia
KS: what?
me: Malaysia
KS: ahhhh ma-li-jia. (pun bolehhh)
SI: d-d-do you know us?
KS: do you know our name?

SI: do you know our song?
me: huaaaaaaaaaaa I don't know TT_____TT..... ehh maybe I know, I don't remember. (I said this because I always hear to random songs and don't know the title. Note that I don't listen to mainstream much.)
SI: western sky?
me: *shakes head*
KS: oooohlala oooohlala~~
me: ahhhh I know that one!!
KS and SI: ooohlala oooohlala~~

me: ooohlala ooohlala~? ahhh I cannot sing TT___TT
SI: I got a question. What is this you are wearing? pointed at my scarf.
My mind went blank because here we call it tudung. no matter what language, it is known as 'tudung'.
KS: hijjab?
me: yeah hijjab!
SI: ooohhh. Where do you know us?
me: emm MAMA
SI: ahh MAMA. picture?
