Board games and Buffet

2 weeks ago... 

First I had tea at this place in Yeongtong.  Super cute and I have no idea what it is called but my only complaint is that it didn't have outlets for my computer.

 

The tea shop has relaxing yet vibrant colors and comfortable velvet couches.  It was pretty empty but I swear we weren't the only ones there. 

Then we played board games at this place:

If you can read Korea you can see it says "bo-duh-geh-aim"

 You can't see them all since there is a whole other wall, but they had a lot of games, both English and Korean games.  Also, I swear this place was not as empty as the picture makes it look.  We enjoyed playing Jenga and also some random game that we picked where you try to make train tracks across the United States.  Surprisingly it was the most fun even though we later found out we played it wrong the whole time. 

After board games it was time for dinner.  We went to a buffet place that someone knew about on the 8th  floor of a building nearby.  It cost about $20 or so, but it was an all you can eat buffet.  Since there were 8 of us 1 group made a seafood stew and the other made a meat stew.  

Here is the seafood section of the buffet:

 

Raw seafood ewww.

My second plate looked like this:

  Nom nom sushi.  Also pineapple. Fried stuff.

But my personal favorite: sweet rice balls.   I could eat a whole lot of those suckers.  

EDIT: I found these are called 경단 (gyeongdan) or "Sweet Rice Ball".  They are made by kneading glutinous rice powder with hot water, shaping into balls, boiling in hot water, and coating with various sweet powders such as cinnamon, black sesame, or soybean powder.

major yum.
