Film Club At The Korean Cultural Centre in London

After a busy day at university, I decided to unwind by going to the Korean Cultural Centre to watch my Sassy Girl.

My Sassy Girl was actually one of the first Korean films I had watched which had made me fall in love with Korea so it was great to watch it back.

My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀)

My Sassy Girl is a romantic comedy about a ordinary guy who coincidentally meets drunk girl on the train and from that moment on it seems that their paths always cross. Unfortunately, it seems that he is always the victim in despair whenever he sees her because of her hot-tempered, crazy nature. However, after several of these spontaneous events, he find that he actually cares for her a lot.

I don't want to spoil the ending, but it's must-watch!

This film will have you laughing your socks off but the are the odd moments that make you feel all soft inside. After watching My Sassy Girl after 6 years, it reminded me of why I loved it the first time I watched it! ^^

Korean Food: Assa

Looking for a Korean food spot? We're here to help you with that. This is one of our favourite Korean restaurants in London.

Yesterday we went to have lunch at Assa with our cousin and as always it did not disappoint us. The food is really tasty, the service is quick and to top it off, the price is affordable.

Is your mouth watering yet? Kimchi pancake, kimchi stir fried rice, spicy seafood udon and ddeokbooki with fish cakes and ramen. All dishes were super tasty and we are definitely going back to try more dishes.

Vegetable pancake

The vegetable pancake was crunchy. Just how we like it.

Kimchi stir fried rice

We absolutely loved the kimchi fried rice. The rice was soft and sticky and absorbed the tangy kimchi taste perfectly. The egg was the cherry on top making it that extra bit yummy.

Ddeokbboki with fish cake and ramen

This is by far one of my favourite Korean dishes and Assa did not dissapoint. 

Spicy seafood udon

It was our first time ordering this dish and we will definitely be ordering it after next time we visit a Korean restaurant.

Our cousin has never tried Korean food in her life but she absolutely loved all the dishes. She even told us to call her over when we made ddeokbboki at home. Mission accomplished. ^0^

Decoding Korean [얼짱] #2

The second word we shall decode is:

얼짱 

Pronounced: Oel-Jjang

This expression is directly translates to 'best face'. However, in English this can be interpreted as someone who is extremely attractive.

It is an abbreviation of  얼굴 짱, where 얼굴 means face and 짱 means best.

Now you know what to say to someone you really like ;)
