Steamboat and Mahjong

Long over-due update on Chinese New Year happenings:

Friday before CNY:

This is not a CNY post per se, but defo worth a mention as it was a Korean night that ended with meeting a Hyun Bin lookalike shop assistant at the Korean Supermarket at Centrepoint (Tottenham Court Road). What started as an innocent query on Bibimbap hot sauce led on to more 'se' (def: colour - 'dirty', mand.) questions on all the other sauces on the rack as I was furiously bio-ing (def: checking out, hokk.) him. How I wish you were here S! Bokwok was not impressed by the bio-ing... Oh yes, ahead of that, we had Korean hotpot and Kalbi (see pic) at Woo Jung (def: friendship, kor.) Brought back memories of our night in Gangnam Seoul where we shared a hotpot after coming in from the rain, before the 'grreat' (pun on the korean language, if you get it!) experience at a DVD-bang!

Bokwoks' Food rating at Woo Jung: 3 stars


CNY eve:
Almost just like any other Saturday in the 'hood - steamboat, MJ and more MJ! Pics to be updated later, just want to let Y know for now that there was a Chen-Hao lookalike there (you can comment on the 'likeness' when I post the piccie) .

CNY:

Finally broke the trend of having steamboat. Instead we went to Laughing Buddha at Chinatown for some Lo hei (def: to toss, canto. - not to be confused with the Brit saying of 'to diss someone'). Again there was MJ, but there was also KARA (Favourite!), check out piccies of my adoring fans!





Ended the night with a movie screen at Curzon Soho (Movie: The Science of Sleep). Let me know what you thought of the giant-hands.. The Bokwoks loved it! The movie also had Gael GB at his cheeky bestness.. J, when I was watching it, I was thinking to myself how the movie themes (?) were so similar to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.. found out only later that it was written and directed by the same Michel Gondry.
