[K-Drama Quotes] Age of Youth’s Most Memorable Quotes

  

"I thought that I was the only one who was holding back. I thought that I was the only one who felt uncomfortable at times. I thought I was the only one who was being wary of others. I thought that it would be of no use, even if I did say something. I was scared that I would be hated if I did say something. I assumed that they'd laugh at me. In that way, I assumed that other people were completely different from me. I thought that they were ruder than me, and more reckless that I am. I thought that they wouldn't care. I was being arrogant. Others are just like me. Other people are people, just like I am. They feel as uncomfortable as I do, and hesitate, just like I do. There are plenty of people who are as nice as I am." - Yoo Eun Jae

 "There are two kinds of secrets. Secrets that you can tell, and secrets that you can't tell." - Yoo Eun Jae

 "Lies may be similar to makeup. Just like one puts on makeup to hide their naked face, people use lies to hide the truth. I tell more and more lies as my makeup gets thicker. Since when did I start feeling that going with no makeup on was embarrassing? Since when did I become so ashamed of the truth? Yeah. The truth is pathetic, sad, and pitiful, just like that. Because it's truly painful when your earnestness is rejected by someone else."  - Jung Ye Eun

 

"There was once a time when I longed to be special. I believed that I had a special fate in store for me and that my life would be different than that of others. I told myself that I wouldn't end up becoming average, no matter what. To be average means to be comfortable. To be average means to not catch anyone's eye. To be average means to be boring. To tell me then that I was average was a direct insult. Yeah. I'm going to work at a company. I’m going to try my damnedest, just to become average." - Yoon Jin Myung

 

 "Everyone has their own circumstances to deal with. And until you know the circumstances they're in, you can't tell people how to live their lives." – Song Ji Won

 

 "Is life just a series of obstacles to endure, for you?" - Park Jae Wan

[K-Food Review] Bing Go Pondok Indah Mall

A brand new section!

Masih belum jauh dari “inti” blog ini, which is apapun itu yang berhubungan dengan Korea, I will start to post reviews on a number of Korean restaurants, snacks, hence Korean food yang bisa dikunjungi atau didapatkan di Indonesia. Dan entry ini adalah entry yang pertama dari topik tersebut.

Jadi, beberapa waktu lalu gue mencoba mencicipi makanan yang ada di Bing Go Pondok Indah Mall. Berada di lantai 2 Pondok Indah Mall 1, sebelah Uniqlo percis, gue sendiri mengunjungi tempat ini berdasarkan info yang gue dapat di Zomato. Ceritanya gue dan teman gue lagi pengen makan masakan Korea dan karena berdasarkan “data” Zomato di PIM itu hanya ada Bing Go ini yang harganya affordable untuk korea-korea-an, maka kita pun memutuskan untuk makan disini.

First impression, tempatnya bagus, tapi terbuka, sangat terbuka malah, jadi gue tidak merekomendasikan tempat ini buat kalian yang mau menghabiskan waktu lama-lama sendirian bersama laptop atau novel kesayangan. Tapi kalau cuma mau kumpul-kumpul cyantik sambil copy-mengcopy drama korea atau variety show terbaru, boleh lah.

Oh, dan dari segi seorang fangirl, gue cukup senang dengan ambience Bing Go, karena sepanjang gue menghabiskan waktu disana ada musik-musik K-Pop dari acara Music Bank yang ditayangkan lewat dua TV LED yang digantung di sisi kanan dan kiri resto.

Soal makanan, gue saat itu memesan Chicken Bulgogi Japchae DupBab dan Plain Yoghurt sedangkan teman gue memesan Kimbap (gue lupa yang mana jenis-nya) dan Blubeberry Yoghurt.

Pesanan gue datang ga lama setelah memesan. Agak terkejut dengan bentuk nyata dari makanan yang gue pesan, karena makanan tersebut dihidangkan di mangkuk yang cukup kecil kalau menurut gue. Mungkin karena mangkuknya yang terlalu kecil, jadi japchae-nya nempel-nempel gitu dan sedikit susah untuk diciduk.

Soal rasa, enak, tapii agak sedikit mengecewakan, karena gue pikr setelah liat menunya (yang ada gambar cabe-nya), makanan ini akan sedikit pedas dan berwarna merah. Nyatanya ga ada merahnya dan ga pedas sama sekali. Tapi selain itu rasanya enak kok, buktinya habis juga gue makan.

Yang gue suka adalah Plain Yoghurt-nya. ENAK BANGET. Beneran enak. Asem manisnya pas.

Plain Yoghurt, Nae Favorite :9

Teman gue sore itu sepertinya tidak berjodoh dengan Bing Go, karena pesanannya belum datang juga setelah menunggu sekitar hampir 45 menit! Padahall pada saat memesan, waitress-nya bilang ada bahan makanan yang masih sedang diambil dan makanan baru bisa dihidangkan setelah 15 menit. Teman gue setuju aja karena memang dipikirnya beneran 15 menit, tapi ternyata itu semua fana. Kita udah beberapa kali nanya berapa lama lagi itu makanan bisa hadir di meja kita, tapi mba-nya selalu bilang 15 menit, 15 menit. Girl, please jangan jadi PHP.  

Alhasil, teman gue memutuskan untuk mengganti pesanannya dengan Tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki datang tak lama setelah itu dan rasanya o-kay. Engga ga enak, engga enak juga. Biasa aja. Mungkin karena efek udah kesel nunggu lama kali ya, jadi rasanya terasa biasa aja.

So, from a fangirl’s perspective, rating gue untuk tempat ini adalah C.
