Berkel Berkel Korean lunch
Fri 26th January'07

that's Ivan, me and yingying.

2nd time at berkel berkel!! i love that place, cos it's about as close as you can get to authentic Korean fare in Berkeley. and as usual, their portions were huge cos we couldn't finish what we ordered! but the spicy beef hot soup and bibimbap were good :)

the first time i tried berkel2 was with yingying and hannah after class last friday. this time, it's with yingying, weiling, zhikuang (all from s'pore), david (taiwan/australia) and ivan hernandez (mexico/san diego). after friday's lessons too! fridays are just great...esp since i only haf 1 class from 9-10am..abit early no doubt, but my weekend starts right after that!

ying's Bibimbap + my spicy beef hot soup

Ivan gave us all spanish names (check out the pieces of paper below) based on the phonetics of our chinese names.

zhi kuang = Jose (say ho-seh)

wei ling = Guadalupe or Lupe for short (say lu-peh)
ying ying = Maria de los Angeles or Gelos for short (say hay-lows)
huiyun = Juanita (say huan-ni-ta)

but, we figured that my spanish name sounded weird , so ivan came up with 2 new names:

Esmeralda meaning emerald
or
Estrella meaning star.

so i chose Estrella (say es-trei-la)
