A close colleague of mine brought me a pack of exotic tea from her business trip to Kazakhstan. 

The language on the package is something I do not recognize, but the name of the tea, Simba, and the image of a lion are pretty clear.

It tastes great!

Asian fried noodle at Noodle Box

March 31, 2014

When I have appetite for fried rice noodles, Noodle Box is one of the places I go to. This casual eatery offers Asian fried rice noodles and fried rice. As the name indicates, the food is served in a square box, which customers can open on the spot or take away.

Noodle Box runs dozens of stores in Seoul and other cities in Korea. I usually go to the store located in Samcheong-dong in Seoul, a popular neighborhood of cafes, galleries, and handicraft shops.

The last time I visited this place, my friend and I had Mi goreng(a kind of fried noodles, popular in Indonesia and Malaysia), Thai fried rice, Thai chicken wings and two bottles of beer to cool down. The stir-fried noodles and rice are a little spicy and sweet and totally delicious. I usually go for spicy cuisine when I order main dishes in a restaurant. 

This set of dishes including beer come at a reasonable price of 21,500 won. The single dish of noodles and rice is usually priced at around 7,000 won.
