Applebee's Review

I went to Applebee's located 215 South 15th Street, Philadelphia this week with my roommate. We went there to eat oriental chicken salad. We love it. The difference of this restaurant from Korean restaurant that i used to go in Korea is the amount of food. In Korea, i often eat the whole dish, but now i often take a box for food to take out the leftover. I think the restaurants in the U.S. usually have big dishes. That's not bad though actually good.

Anyway, it was good dinner!

I went to IHOP

I went to IHOP.

It was delicious.

The restaurant is not cheap, but we can discount with our UARTS student ID.

I usually go there. at least three times a week.

It located on 1320 Walnut St Philadelphia.

Buy the way I have to pay tip all of the Amrica's restaurants.

Even the server was not kind and service was bad.

I can't understand till now.

Because In Korea, I never thought about this situation.

Koreans are never pay tip in Korea. If the server was very very good, we gave tip.

(but that's very unusual.)

I think It's unfair.

Sometimes I don't want to pay tip for the servers.

(actually this picture of receipt is not IHOP's.)

I went to my father's business partner John family's house. They invited my family.

Their house was located on out side of Philly. Their house takes about 40minutes from downtown. The location where their house is really calm down and natural. And I really surprised!!! because I saw a deer on my way to house.

It was my first time I visited real American family's house. I felt American and Korean culture

are different. When I walked in to their house I didn't take off my shoes. Even if there floor was carpet. Korean doesn't wear shoes in the house. Their home had a swimming pool. It was really nice.

They cooked the American home food to our family. The food was delicious. It was an unforgettable experience.

My Asia restaurant experience in Pa

How often do you miss your own country food? In my case, I really often miss Chinese food but it's not easy to real Chinese food everyday here. One of my American freind, she also likes to eat Chinese food so she recommended this American-Asia restaurant to me and we went to this store yesterday.
In the beginning, when I saw the name of restaurant-Peiwei Asia Diner, my frist thought was how many countries in Asia? And how can they offer whole Asia food in one restaurant? I feel interested about this restaurant but I didn't expect they can offer Chinese taste food to me because this is a American-Asia restaurant! After I entered this Store, I found they just only offer fine styles Asia food- Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. Then I ordered one beef Lo main which totally changed my mind! It tasted good and really closed myfavorite Lo main taste in my country. I start to love this store!

During whole dinner time, I also found one thing interesting me was they use Chinese woks tp devorate their store in order to meke customers feel the style about Asia. In fact, I never seen restaurants use woks to decorate in my country. It was really interesting to me and I had good time there. I would go this restaurant again. If you are also interesting about this store, you can connect thier website htp://www.peiwei.com/index.aspx

A small performance in Smokin' Betty's

I went to the restaurant called
'Smokin' Betty's' with my frined, Sang Ho. Our mentor,Samantha
invited us for there were her performance.
It was interesting since we could see her and we watched her band's playing. She was good at sing differnt styles of songs in the show. Her band's playing was nice too.
I've have liked such a small performace until now. Thus, this show in the restaurant was exiting. At that time since I and Sangho have already had lunch, each drank both a coffee and coke. The taste of the coffee was good. In the future, I would like to watch this small performance as I love a variety of music.

Location :The place is the corner of 11th street and Sansom street (North West corner)

Chinatown in Philadelphia

Last week, I went to Chinatown in Philly. I finded a lot of Chinese restaurants and stores. In those restaurants and stores, I can buy numerous similar products and order many similar food. but, there are different in China.

Compared with in Philly, In China, most stores and restaurants only use chinese and the food all original tast. In Philly, most stores and restaurants are localization. they are selling American food and Chinese food and porducts. For example, if you want to try some pork, in China, we are never use black peper put in the pork. But, In Philly, they always use black peper in the maet. I think the main reason is multicultrual. They want to sell more goods and earn more money from American. So most food are being loculization.
