Korean BBQ and Kareoke






So this was one of the funnest nights we've had in a long time. As part of my Job I do a lot of dinner programs with Doctors and some of the nurses. This one I took out one of my "Korean Offices" we ate at a Korean BBQ, which alone is an adventure, raw marinated meat you cook at your table and then wrap in Lettuce and mulberry leaves. It's delicious and lots of fun cooking it yourself, come to LA and we'll take you out.
After dinner one of the Doctors invited us to go "kareokeing" with them. We reluctantly agreed, but once we were there we were so glad we went.
Okay so how it works you rent this room for an hour or two, buy snacks and drinks etc. Then they set you up in this room like a recording studio and they bring in the food etc. There is a big flat screen, microphones, tambourines and a huge remote that helps you select what song you want to sing. They have mostly Korean Songs but also a few hundred english/american songs, you know the popular ones, and for some reason lots of Wham and yes David Hasselhoff. You pick the song and you're off. The best part of the whole deal is that the screen plays a made up music Video, that is a Korean shot story, all of them seem to be a music video for some sort of love song no matter what the title of the song. Some guy on a park bench or a beach with crashing waves etc, extremely cheesy but that's what makes them so funny.
We had soo much fun and will go again its a good deal and something new and different.
"They" meaning the Koreans we went with so into it, dancing etc it was hilarious-seeing my doctors realx and have a good time, they went from hardly giving me anytime in the office setting, to signing and dancing and making fools of themselves.
