期B座六樓, 第一, Kai Tak Factory Building, 22號 Sam Chuk St, San Po Kong, Hong Kong   2023-09-30 SAT Andy suggested to go to the Swing Pocket Anniversary party and we agreed. At first, we didn't plan for any dancing for this trip but I was curious about how the scene here has changed. Swing Pocket is said to be a new club targeting local young people. 20:00 Swing Pocket 周年慶訂票 【30/9 Swing Pocket Anniversary】 Date:30/9 (Sat) Time:8pm - ? Location:Fountain de Chopin (6/F, Block B, Kai Tak Factory Building Stage 1, 22 Sam Chuk Street, San Po Kong) Fee:Early Bird $220 (Now until 16/9), Regular Price $280 It must have took quite a long time for me to fine the venue unless I was accompanied with the locals. The band, especially the female vocal was quite good and I much enjoyed the music, but somehow they changed the list from jazz to pop from their 2nd set. Probably it is requested by the club considering the young newbies are still not ready for swing dancing for a couple of hours.  Interestin

2號 Yan Oi St, San Po Kong, Hong Kong   2023-09-30 SAT After hunting durian pudding in Tsim Sha Tsui, we came back to Karen's and got ready for private and party. On the bus to the party area, we found a group of women hanging out under a bridge. I've heard that Karen's helper is taking a leave during the weekend and saw many foreign women leaving the Mid-level area. I thought that they're all going back to visit their families but it turned out that it's not efficient for them to spend the flight/train ticekts. The party will be in the northern part where is the opposite of where we were, so we had to transfer to another bus line. Going in to the cross-harbour tunnel. I think we arrived in the where area where we were supposed to meet Andy for a private but I'm not sure what these people are here for. The gym was very clean and well-organized, not like how it looks from outside. After the private, we had dinner together before party. Andy generously took the bil

Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hau Fook St, 7號   durian sorbet 2023-09-30 SAT She just couldn't give up durian pudding. During this trip, she's been obsessed with durian pudding all the time. We didn't have much plan before the party in the evening, so she began hunting the one she's been in the last time she visited HK. I'll be just happy with these street food. There are millions of yummy ones here, but why durian pudding?!! This is the only clue of the one but there was no such shop around the area. Probably it's been closed during the quarantine period. She didn't give up and I had to hurry to this mall for nature' call. A long queue to the Hashtag B. Seriously? It's HK, people! I stopped by a shop to be ready for the life-time long hunting. Korean stamina drink. But I still wanted something HKy, even though I can buy them back in Korea. She found a dessert cafe called Grindie as a substitute and I just walked around. We've been living together lo

서울 강남구 선릉로 604 호산프라자 1층   전통순대를 사용하는 깔끔한 순대국밥. 고기국수 등 메뉴가 다앙하다. 서울상품권 가능. 순대국밥 11.0, 삼겹고기국수 11.0 2023-12-17 SUN 스프 루키 2주차 후 저녁. 날씨가 추워서 타임에서 차 가져오는 동안 그분이 알아 본 집이다. 예전에 살던 동네인데 이런 곳이 생겼네.  매장이 꽤 넓은 편인데 손님은 우리 말고 한 테이블 정도. 주말이라 그런가 싶었는데 우리가 일찍 와서 한적했던 거였고 결국은 거의 만석이 되었다. 테이블 배치가 잘못된 건지 얼핏 보면 공간이 꽤 넓은데 사진에 보이는 우리 옆 테이블 손님과 간격이 너무 좁아서 불편했다. 지금 생각해보니 로봇 동선 때문인 듯.  실제 키오스크로 메뉴를 보면 고기국수 등 벽면 메뉴판에 없는 메뉴가 많다. 순대곱새 세트 구성이 좋아보였는데 24000원이 몇 인분인지 궁금하다. 나중에 다른 테이블에서 묻던데 1인분 가격이라니 둘이 48000원이면 좀 애매하긴 하다. 하긴 대창이 들어갔는데 2인에 24000원이면 그것도 너무 싸긴 하지.  주문만 키오스크에서 하고 결제는 나중에. 서울상품권 이용 가능.  로봇 2대가 열심히 서빙 중. 추가반찬은 셀프이니 이론적으로 홀 직원은 테이블 정리만 하면 되긴 하는데, 뜨겁거나 무거운 접시 등은 사람이 직접 가져왔다.  이렇게 반찬 세트부터 로봇이 서빙해서 편리하다.  순대국밥 11.0 삼겹고기국수 11.0 당연히 같은 국물이라고 생각했는데 면 때문인지 고기국수 쪽 간이 더 셌다. 국물은 당연히 조미료를 썼겠지만 이게 순수하게(?) 조미료 맛인지 나름 국물이 깊은 건지 좀 헷갈렸다. 조미료 맛이라면 조미료를 잘 쓴 듯. 순대국밥이 만원이 넘는 건 이제 보통일까? 선정릉역 역세권인 걸 감안하면 이해해야 할 지도. 특이하게 넓은 면을 썼는데 칼국수와 달리 쫄깃한 면이다. 면에 국물이 배도록 고민한 선택이 아닐까 싶다. 납작면을 좋아해서 만족스러우면서도 왠지 제주 고기국수의 정체성이 훼손된 것 같아서 아쉽기도 했다.  순
