Day 44: Eating for Two...or Three

So as I'm writing this and looking at the picture to the right, I realized that I should have done this at a neutral time when I am not hungry. This, guys and dolls, is a (moderate) plate of sushi and sweet and sour pork (탕수육 in Korean). Last night I had me some sushi buffet, but in Korea, a sushi buffet does not just denote sushi, it denotes sushi and assorted goodies that you may also enjoy eating while partaking in sushi. I love sushi, there is just really no way around it, and I love eating assorted goodies as well. At this particular place, along with real sushi (you know, just the fish and rice) made fresh right in front of you, they have various sushi rolls, some common, some quite out there. There are about two or three tables (like folding tables), lined up, with different plates of things on it. It's a very low-key operation, but enjoyable nonetheless. You know, in America you think buffet, and you think massive heat lamps, tables upon tables of food, and lots of kids. This is like more of a stylish buffet, one you are surely no to find in Vegas. But what makes it great are these assorted goodies, because besides the sushi, you also have salad (plain), salmon salad, tomato and onion salad, spicy noodles, yakisoba, sweet and sour pork, potato wedges, egg rolls, 떡뽁이, ice cream, and fruit. So the definition of 'sushi buffet' has been broadened, who cares? All that matters is that, for a little bit of money (around 13,000 won per person for dinner, 10,000 for lunch), you can have yourself a gay ol' time, Fred Flinstone style.
