Seoul Garden Gurney Penang

His birthday. My treat. I wanted to go to buffet, but he wanted Korean food. So we went to one of the first Korean restaurants in Penang -- Seoul Garden. This restaurant is located at Sunrise Tower, Gurney Drive.






There is also a BBQ buffet Seoul Garden restaurant at Gurney Plaza, but this restaurant is more emphasis on ordinary Korean food. The owner is a Korean, and a lot of the customers are Koreans too.




Kimchi. I had them replenished twice. Personal favorite is the last plate (the green vege).





Here's my Bulgogi.








Highly recommended.








And Sam-gye-tang. I've not eaten Sam-gye-tang since came back from Korea. It made me miss Myeong-dong.






Side dishes replenished and we couldn't stop doing the vegetable wrap!~

Harrods: The Diana & Dodi Memorial

Paying a tribute to Princess Diana, the princess of Wales at The Diana & Dodi Memorial in Harrods. I had this feeling when I was standing in front of Princess Diana's photo... it's kinda ironic... can't describe. But still she is one of the bravest women I've ever known, and the most influential one, too.

Since the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Fayed, Mohamed Al Fayed's son, two memorials commissioned by Al Fayed have been erected inside Harrods to the couple. The first, unveiled on 12 April 1998, consists of photographs of the two behind a pyramid-shaped display that holds a wine glass still smudged with lipstick from Diana's last dinner as well as what is described as an engagement ring Dodi purchased the day before they died.
The second memorial, unveiled in 2005 and located by the Egyptian escalator at door three is titled "Innocent Victims", is a bronze statue of the two dancing on a beach beneath the wings of an albatross. The albatross is a bird that is said to symbolise the "Holy Spirit". The sculpture was created by 80 year old Bill Mitchell who is a close friend of Al Fayed and has been the artistic design advisor to Harrods for 40 years. Mr Al Fayed said he wanted to keep the pair's "spirit alive" through the statue.
