Seoul fabulous!

Sigh..just had first day briefing for ortho at CGH..looks like it's gonna be a busy 2 weeks! Those who did their ortho posting at CGH, you probably understand why i'm whining..

For e.g. one of the instructions are :'Follow the combined Trauma round on Mon, Wed, Thu 7.40am to 8.30am. Attendance is compulsory. Sit in front/second row. Ask questions if you don't understand.' And that's just the first of a whole list of instructions..The rest of the days are packed with clinics, ward rounds, OT, DSOT, clerking..

But i'm looking forward to ortho lah..One of my female seniors once told me: 'The female mind is not engineered to understand ortho.' But i kinda like ortho! Though probably not as a career...

Anyz on a brighter note..
'Seoul fabulous!' was the title of the magazine article recommending Crystal Jade Ginseng Chicken & BBQ (Korean cuisine) at centrepoint...


It's a new addition to the huge crystal jade empire..And the reviews in the magazine were pretty good, so my dad & i decided to try it out on Sunday..we were getting a little bored of dim sum..

The place is very nicely furnished, kinda stylish with hints of luxury & korean touches in the wooden panelling, warm lighting, and especially the traditional Han Bok (korean costume) worn by the pretty waitresses..

The food was really nice too..My dad wasn't too impressed..cos i think he still loves the good ol' chinese (cantonese) food..Hehe. I'm much more easily satisfied when it comes to food.. We were served a colourful selection of homemade starters..Spicy Kimchi, yellow bean sprouts, chilli-steamed radish, spinach salad & beef tenderloin (my dad's favourite dish of the whole meal..Haha)

The ginseng chicken soup was divine! The chicken was so tender! And the melt-in-your-mouth wholesome goodness of the soup was unmistakable! i'm sold! (warning..the ginseng taste wasn't too strong though, so if u're looking for some energising ginseng to kick start ur day, this soup doesn't have that much potency)

Next was the Rice in Stone Cattle with Beef pieces..not too bad..especially if you like the smoky flavour of partially burnt rice..My dad wasn't too fond of that..Chinese like their rice steamed to soft white perfection..heh
