Happy birthday, Pa! It's our dad's birthday and to celebrate we had Korean BBQ. We originally wanted Japanese BBQ from Gyu-Kaku, but we're seven people (me and my hubby, my parents, and three siblings), and they couldn't accommodate our big group. As such, we end up in Royal Seoul House Restaurant, which is the closest Korean restaurant to our place.
We ordered our usual - Combo B (beef, pork, and chicken), Deep Fried Pork Dumplings, Seafood Pancake, and Japchae. Moreover, my brother and I are feeling adventurous, so we ordered two new dishes that we don't usually order: Ttok-Bokki (it's my first time trying it) and Deopbap.

I am not a fan of their Deopbap, but to be fair, I am eating other dishes with a stronger flavour, so I couldn't appreciate it as much.

| Ttok-Bokki Stir-fried rice cake, veggies, and fish cake with a spicy sauce |
Ttok-Bokki is something you will frequently see when watching Korean dramas, but this is my first time trying it. I love the spicy sauce, and I regret eating it first before the Deopbap because the flavour is so strong and delicious. I am unsure if I like rice cake though, it's chewy.

| Deep-Fried Pork Dumplings |
Korean dumplings are my favourite - like the top of the list in a world filled with dumplings. They're bigger than Japanese gyoza and Chinese dumplings and flavourful.
 |
| Combo B means marinated beef short ribs, marinated beef, marinated chicken, and spicy pork. |
As hubby and I are walking home, I told him that my hair smell likes BBQ. I love it. 😂 I hope my dad enjoyed our simple birthday dinner. It's so nice to have everyone here.
