Hubby's 24th Birthday Dinner

During Hubby's birthday, we had dinner at Kimchi Restaurant which is located in Kiulap.
Kimchi was having the All-you-can-eat BBQ promotion during the night we visited but we didn't opt for that as we didn't wanna eat that much.
We had Kimchi spring roll which Hubby and I both think that the size for each spring roll has been reduced but it used to serve 4 spring roll per serving so I guess it's still fair.
We also had Dakgogi and Kimchi Dolsotbap.
I must say that Kimchi has got really friendly staffs with superb attitude. Their captain even kindly helped us mixed the dolsotbap then divided into four bowls so each of us could enjoy the rice easier. Really helpful.
Other than that we also ordered Bibim Naeng Myun (buck wheat cold noodles and obviously, it's served cold) and Haemul Pa Jeon, the seafood pancake.
I personally like the cold noodles a lot but I also feel that it's kinda expensive as it costs $12 per bowl and the serving is really little.
As for their pancake, I would suggest the chef to fried it a little bit longer to add crispiness to the pancake. This would taste a lot better.
Before I forget, a tip to all of you who are visiting Kimchi soon, their side dishes are refillable and they wouldn't charge extra cent on you.
Another reason to visit Kimchi again haha and I must say dining in Kimchi always give me good experience (although I've only visited it thrice) because they have a group of well trained staffs that really make you feel comfortable. They are really friendly, caring and thoughtful.
And I do agree that some times it's not the taste of the food that should be prioritized when judging a restaurant or cafe.
If you do not have a trained crew who serve your customers right, your customers might not feel right tasting your food as they are already unhappy with the service.
This is just one of the very few thoughts that I have had since the opening of the new restaurants and cafes lately.
Hopefully the managements of these newly opened restaurants and cafes can learn something from the successful examples especially in our local food industry and survive~ !

p/s: How could I forget to mention that SKY (da BFF!) had spent his precious time and effort hand made an Iphone birthday card for Hubby (all of us know that it was his dream phone and I think he has new target recently haha). It was really thoughtful of him! Thanks a lot bro!
