On Baby A's birthday, the c-section surgery went as planned. I walked into the OR around 9:30am and was pushed out around 2 hours later. W was instructed to wait outside while the team was getting me prepared for anesthesia. He then got invited to come in and sat next to me while the team worked on getting Baby A out of me 😂. W was a good DJ and Baby A was born while Taylor Swift's Shake It Off was being played. So...did I feel any pain during this life-changing surgery? No, I didn't. I had a spinal block. I never felt any type of pain during the surgery. Getting the anesthesia injected - however - was the most uncomfortable part of the surgery. There was a lot of pressure. I felt my back being pulled or pushed, or something. It just felt very uncomfortable, not painful, but very uncomfortable. It was also hard to try leaning toward the source of that uncomfortableness. Learning to relax while being uncomfortable was a very hard thing to do. But it was necessary. Once it...
For our very first dinner in Korea, we went to a table-grill restaurant "Yoogane" in Myeongdong. We actually walked past it a few times while still looking around for different options, then we picked this restaurant. I remember while looking at their menu just outside of the restaurant, we saw many people speaking in Korean heading in and out of the restaurant which led us thinking "oh maybe it's a place enjoyed by locals! Let's give it a shot!"
韓國的第一個晚餐, 我們去了一家叫做"Yoogane"的餐廳, 是那種桌上有瓦斯爐在自己桌上煮的餐廳. 其實一開始還經過這家餐廳幾次, 當時還在看看旁邊還有什麼別的晚餐選擇, 然後選了這家. 還記得那時在餐廳外面看菜單時, 看到不少說韓文的客人進進出出, 那時就想 "喔! 或許當地人也滿喜歡這家 那我們就試試吧"
Their menu was multi-lingual, which was convenient for non-Korean speakers! It's got Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese plus pictures for most items.
他們的菜單有著多國語言, 很方便! 韓文, 英文, 日文, 中文, 且大多附圖片所以不會韓文的客人點菜其實滿方便的！
有小菜區, 跟水果區, 是自助式的.
The verdict is we liked what we had, which was "marinated chicken galbi & assorted seafood!" It was so spicy! It had a lot more heat than what we were used to! But it was a good kind of spiciness!
我們的總結是滿喜歡我們點的 鐵板炒辣雞海鮮! 這個很辣! 比我們平常吃的辣的程度還辣很多 但是是好吃的辣喔!
The restaurant was very busy (around 8 at night) and there was only one server bussing tables for the entire basement (we dined at their basement floor, there were more servers for the first floor dining area). We were fine with cooking our own food at our table (just stir fry stuff! and I think that's what customers are expected to do at table-grilling places anyway plus it's easier to adjust for preferences) though the server did come check on our fire & food for us every once a while.
當時餐廳很忙(大約晚上八點), 整個地下室只有一個服務生 (我們當時在地下室用餐, 一樓的服務生比較多) 自己炒其實沒關係(就炒菜阿!而且瓦斯爐都在用餐桌子上了我覺得就是客人自己處理而且也比較能抓準口感喜好)不過服務生也還是有來幫我們看火＆查看食物幾次
I also tried an alcoholic beverage here - plum flavored - I remember I was mainly attracted by the look of the pink bottle and curious how it would taste like. It was a small bottle and the waitress gave us 2 shot glasses. The bottle was barely enough for 3 glasses. I'm guessing it was some kind of soju? Can't find the picture now 😕
我還有喝了一樣梅子口味的酒精飲料. 記得是被粉紅色瓶子吸引也好奇它喝起來怎麼樣, 是個很小的瓶子, 服務生有給我們兩個shot glass尺寸的小杯子. 一瓶只能倒三杯. 我猜大概是soju? 找不到照片了😕
