The primary objective of visiting the market was Sunhi-Ne.
The food was okay. First time eating on the premises, I was a bit disappointed, perhaps expectations too high — previous experiences with takeout, reheated at home, had been very positive. The texture was nicely crisp, but the flavors weren’t as rich as remembered. Oh well.
Then again, my impression of food seems to go out of whack when eating with LY sometimes (see for example 2.274 Jaengban Guksu), perhaps under the pressure to satisfy GMTD’s Number One Fan.
In Seoul. Arrived two weeks ago on a mission. Injured my back last weekend (see generally 7.011 Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza). Staying in town for treatment. Aiming to return to Manila this Saturday.
3-CHA
In my defense, while recent posts may seem to suggest that I’m out carousing when I should be at home recuperating, I should explain that I’m home in bed all day, and dinner is the one chance every day that I get to stretch my legs, as recommended by my doctor.

Whatever the opposite of “in my defense” may be, this post certainly doesn’t help.
I haven’t achieved so many “cha (stages)” in nearly 2.5 years (see 4.227 Köttbullar) (also with GK).

Disk herniation be damned, what a fantastic evening — maybe not the food per se, but everything in toto.
one good and simultaneously bad thing about both of us is that neither gets too sloppy when drunk, which is good at the time because it doesn’t spoil the setting, but then it doesn’t provide us with important negative feedback that could alert us when enough is too much.
i’m going to write about this in an upcoming post…
i think perhaps one justifies smoking in this day and age by refusing to believe the causal link between tobacco and cancer. it’s ridiculous. and i can’t believe he had that conversation with you, the WHO NCD guy.
things that i would do every day, simply because of the pure pleasure, damned if i do — but try to avoid because of the undeniable harm — are smoking (maybe once every few months), eating fried chicken (maybe once a month), and drinking Scotch (maybe not once every few months).
that was such a fun night! i don’t remember how i got back to the hotel.
