I Ate Something Good Today : Seoul Station@The Starling (CLOSED)

I have eaten at Seoul Station before but I only enjoyed the fried chicken. Recently when I was at A Foodie's Nest@The Starling, I noticed that Seoul Station added a few new dishes to their menu.

One of them was Jeyuk Bokkeum (RM20.00), a spicy stir fried oink oink dish. Why not, eh? Just give it a try. It might be nice.

Oh! It does look nice, served on a hot plate but it sizzled just for a short time when I picked it up from the counter.

Besides the spicy stir fried oink oink, you get rice, soup (very tasty) and two banchan of kimchi and brinjal. 

I must say the the Jeyuk Bokkeum was outstanding. Moderately spicy and truly delicious. The portion size was generous too.

I enjoyed the kimchi but the brinjal was bland. It needed a bit more seasoning.

As I was enjoying my meal, the spicy kick from the chilies in the dish started to tickle my throat. You know how it is with spicy dishes, sometimes it makes you cough or even tear up.

So I had to cough. ehek...ehek... It takes a lot of effort to cough softly. In this day and age of the Covid-19 pandemic, if you cough, all eyes will be on you and you will be viewed as a potential threat to humanity.

Ehek...ehek... The guy at the next table who was having a drink with his female companion turned to look at me. Ooops... I tried taking small sips of the warm soup to soothe my throat. It seemed to help some. 

Then I couldn't hold back and again, covered my mouth with the serviette and coughed ehek.. one time only at short intervals. ehek... The guy and his companion quickly left.

And then there was another guy at the table on my right. I took a discreet glance at him and noted he had earphones on. Ahah! So I went full throttle.  EHEK...EHEK...EHEK.. He was oblivious to what was happening of course. After that, I was fine and finished my meal. So folks, sometimes a cough is just a cough. Don't get all paranoid. 

After that, I went for a walk.

I came upon this kitty. Skinny fella with a bushy tail. I couldn't help it, I petted it's head (I don't know if it is male or female). I know it is not safe to simply approach a cat as it can scratch or bite.

But this one was so adorable, it rolled on it's back, grabbed my hand and gave me a playful soft bite. This must be someone's cat, since it is so tame and agreeable.

On the home front, on the suggestion of a friend, I bought a cat bed for my cat. Something soft that she might like.

But no, she refused to have anything to do with it. When I carried and placed her on her cat bed, she jumped up like a cartoon. It was quite comical.

So I use her cat bed as a foot rest. I love it because it is so soft and woolly.

Yup she snuggles up to me when I am on the sofa. 

And she does what she does best - oi oi. 

Haiz.... I love my cat!
