Weirdest dinner

So yesterday I went for dinner with Eugene Ho. We went to a korean restaurant near my place and it all looked okay at first, queued for seats, got 2 seats and we looked at the menu. From there on it starts to get crazy. We saw some spicy chicken wings dish that had 3 levels of spicyness. It ranged from little spicy (exact words), spicy and very spicy. Thinking that korean dishes are not that hot, we went for the spicy one. Oh and we also ordered some kimchi seafood soup to share. Then everything went normally. The waitress brought the rice and side dishes, gave water, some chopsticks and finally the chicken.

The chicken wings were bright red but we did not even  care because from our past experiences, colour does not mean anything. Without delay, me and eugene picked up a wing and just bit into it. Instantly, our face started to change. Yes, you know it. It was spicy as hell. Out tongue just burnt like crazy and there are nothing on the table that could cool us down. If you're saying water then you're wrong. Spicyness are oil based, so when the oil sticks to your tongue, it generates the heat and we all know that water and oil don't mix. Drink milk or take some bread if you want to get rid of some heat.

After 2 wings each, we had sweat all over our faces and what do you know, there's like around 12 more pieces. Then the soup came, from afar, it already looked deadly. With its bright red colour to the steam emanating from the soup itself. I was scared. But something funny happened right there and then. When the waitress gave us the soup, she accidentally spilt some on Gene's hand. Even with the hot soup on his hand, he didn't flinch because the chicken was so overwhelming. Oh I forgot to say that we sat on a 6 seater table and we were on one end while a 2 girls couple were sitting on the other side.

On that second, one of the girls, Korean I guess from her accent, said "Just eat it off your hand." and laughed. Eugene still in shock from the chicken just stood still like he didn't hear anything. I just answered "He's in shock from the spiciness of the chicken." and we all had some laugh. Here is where it got weirder. I have never done this before but we asked the girls if they wanted some chicken. Yes we were scared we could not finish the plate of wings. They took it and was in shock at how spicy it was as well. I forgot what we had talked about during the dinner but yeah, we started to talk and they gave us some beef and we gave them some chicken and we shared some laughs.

To our amazement, one of the girls said she was 25 this year. If you were there you would be surprised as well. They certainly don't look their age at all. I thought they were around the same age as me. Guess koreans are quite young looking naturally. Well after dinner we just said bye to each other and just went our seperate ways. But wait! It gets weirder. After dinner, on the way back to Gene's place. We saw them again and because it was raining so hard. One of the girls asked if we wanted to chill at a coffee place first. Out of courtesy, we accepted.

We went to Melbourne Cental's Max Brenners. A chocolate franchise of a cafe I guess. You must be thinking I hit the jackpot but hell no. One of the girls decided to make it more awkward by leaving her one friend to us and went back home to change or something. Yup, it was super weird. Then to add more weirdness, the girl even treated me and Eugene coffee. It was crazy I tell you. Even with all the weirdness, I and Eugene didn't feel that weird at the moment. We just talked and talked and talked. For almost 2 hours till the friend reached again. To our amazement, that girl totally changed. Before, she didn't have any make up on but when she came again, she looked like a totally different person. To top off all the weirdness, we found out that the one who just came back was actually 31 years of age.

Only after 2 hours at the coffee shop that we left and said goodbye for good. But it was all weird I tell you. Even if someone told me this would happen last night, I'd probably just laugh at him and say he's full of crap. But it did. Weird.
