I haven't bond with the two of my closest friends in college so we had our bonding/eating session at Yabu (Robinson's Magnolia branch).
 

We had happy chitchats before our orders were served. We enjoyed our long talks since we saw each other a very long time ago.

I was really impressed at Yabu when I got to sit and observe the whole place. I liked that the furniture, lighting, and even the menu (that looks elegant) all fit perfectly to give a great ambiance even before eating.

Condiments

You must crush the sesame seeds on your own as this will be part of your sauce. This kind of experience was very nice because it made waiting for the food pass by quickly (also because we had a lot to talk about). I liked the smell of the sesame seeds being crushed.

A quick picture of my friends before we ate. Both of them ate here before and I was the first-timer yet they wanted to eat here again so I thought it was that good in Yabu.

Bulgogi Brothers is on my wishlist of places to eat in since I have heard it from my friends and read about it. This is one of the few high-end Korean restaurants in the mall because its usually Korean eateries.

My sis and cousin

The place is not that spacious but the table and seat arrangement are big enough to make you feel comfortable. As you can see in the photo above, they use dim lights to create a cozy feeling as
opposed to fast food chains where it is usually bright. The restaurant is perfect for a private date night for couples as it also gives a romantic vibe.
As part of every Korean meal, side dishes are a must. They serve 3 free side dishes first as usual before the orders finally were served.

From top to bottom: Kimchi, Tofu, Pickled radish

The kimchi tasted really spicy for me which I think is very similar to the ones in South Korea.
I have tried eating kimchi bought from Korean marts and in comparison to the kimchi here, they taste exactly the same. I like the pickled radish which is like the 'atsara'. The tofu tastes good too.

Barley Tea

They serve free Barley tea (staple drink in Korea which serves as their water too) which I really like just like the brown rice tea. It tastes mild and not that bitter as compared to black tea.

After tasting some side dishes, it really made me excited to eat and made me that hungry. When we had our orders, I had to quickly snap pictures as the aroma of the food made me even more hungry. As usual, I ordered too much for the three of us.

We were hungry and couldn't decide where to eat so we just entered the mall, after walking a bit,  I saw the Korean writings of the place and decided that I wanted Korean food again.

Pictures of people who have eaten here

You would never expect that an authentic mini Korean food place would be situated near food places that are Mediterranean, Italian etc.



After ordering very quickly, we took group pictures while waiting. The place gives you a cozy home vibe.

It's quite obvious that I looked hungry already in the group picture because I was really hungry.

4 side dishes

We ordered 3 sets with free side dishes. The kimchi here is spicy and seasoned well. That's just my opinion but I think this is one of the best tasting kimchi I've eaten. I just forgot to ask if they sell Kimchi here. I'd probably just go back to ask some time soon

 The store is divided into sections.

H&M Women

H&M Men Outside Display

Beautiful Lighting

My friend bought T-shirts

She bought the red bonnet

Christmas Decors

Me trying on this jacket (I looked tired because I was tired that day)

Home Section (1st H&M Home)

This is where you can buy stylish pillow cases, blankets, shower curtains, etc. to change the appearance of your rooms and make it the way you want it to look because of the different theme choices.

She bought again!

This space shows the making of yogurt



There were posters in the place that tell that Greek yogurt is a healthier form of yogurt but I wasn't able to take a picture of that.

The place was so cozy, cool and spacious so think this would be a nice place to read books also because of the lighting and chairs.


I'm no fan of yogurt but I eat it because I know that it's healthy and I've tried yogurt before in White Hat so I know that yogurt tastes good too.

I want to share our short tour of Century Mall.  If you haven't been to this mall, I suggest that you visit this mall for relaxation, dining out or some shopping.

We wanted to just go out and have a new scenery so we headed to an unfamiliar mall called Century Mall.  I have an idea that this mall is an upscale mall just by searching the net. And here we are for a group pic that was not so good at all.
 It was still Christmas season as you can see from the decors.



Century mall had shops that were new to us.  It had a very modern feel.

I was so full after eating at a buffet to celebrate my birthday so I decided to drink something hot.
I ordered the red velvet drink because I was so into red velvet crinkles these days and I wanted something new.
