There are lots of good Korean restaurant in south bay but doesn't seem a lot here in San Francisco. Most of them are at Richmond District. It's pretty far away from the town center. This Korean wooden charcoal B.B.Q has a pretty good review and interesting too. I took the chance to go there with my Taiwan co-work who is a beg fan of Korean BBQ and Soju. 。

Korean restaurant often offer lots of food but never get more than a two $ sign on Yelp. It has never get too fancy or expensive either. There are expensive Thai and Vietnamese which can go up to three or four $ sign. Something I don't really understand. As usual, nothing fancy in the restaurant. But the bad air and yellow+dark red wall do decrease my appetite a little bit. 。

The biggest characteristic of Korean food is these small cute little dishes comes before the meal. It names Banchan. Usually they served along with rice but people take them more like appetizer here. The basic table setting for these small dish meal called "bansang". It can be 3,5,7,9,12 cheop depending on how many banchan on table. They are free in most of restaurants. I really enjoy a meal start with these little treats. 。

A lots of these small dishes are Kimchi. The definition of Kimchi is fermented vegetables seasoned with chili papers and salt. There was a saying that south Korean do not consider a meal complete without Kimchi. I like Kabak kimchi and Ggakdugi the most.

Other small dishes will be like Kongnamul (Cold boiled bean sprouts with seame oil), Miyeok(seaweed with sweet vinegar and salt, Kimchi bokkeum (Stir-fried kimchi), fish cake, and Japchae (cold clear noodle).

Pork belly was the one I like to try the most. It's fresh without covering up by too much of sauce . We had only one order. It come with a big pile of pork belly.... I ate few pieces of them. I don't really like it. It smell like from pig ... maybe need more sauce。

Chicken and beef rib are both good. I never like grill chicken but it taste pretty good here. Korean beef rib is must have. I have never find any disappointed with them. It's ok here over all. It's a little bit expensive. I think "Manna restaurant" in Fremont is better.

The second restaurant name "zazang" It does not have a super high review, but I was attracted by the black noodle dish. I have never seen something like that before. Well, I like this restaurant, it can be like daily meal.

"It's not pretty" I want to say, when "Za Zang Myun" (black bean noodle) came on my table. I won't order it on my first date with someone, same as oxtail. What is that?? excially, It really looks like a pile od nesty thing. 。

One things I noticed that lots Korean food come with scissor for different purpose. What I should do here with this scissor? I asked. 'To cut the noddles" ... O..K...but why didn't they been cut before come to my table? Does the fresh cut right before went into the mouth makes taste better ? I couldn't help wonder...

surprisingly, It tasted really good much better than how it looks. The sauce is not heavy just to give enough of flavor to balance out the plan noodle. More cucumber might give more freshness. Some ground meat might be Ok to have too but I am just Ok to like the way it is.

Order another dish of dip fried shrimp base on the suggestion from Yelp. It was good, really big size of Shrimp. The sauce ... sour and sweet .. no really that great.

I think they should remove this appetizer, I don't see anyone etting them. I think they should stop providing them. Why not Kimchi? What kind of Korean restaurant don't have Kimchi? Even Japanese Raman place has free Kimchi. 。

I have got the ticket about a week ago. I got a feeling that the ticket will be sold out by so many albums Death Angle has. As expected, so many people were outside the door looking for thicket. I might not good at choose what is good band to watch but I found the way to know when need to get the ticket in advance.

The first band on the stage was Bonded By Blood. The band formed in 2005 by vocalist Jose Barrales, who with the help of friends completed the band's lineup with guitarist Alex Lee, drummer Carlos Regalado, and bassist Ruben Dominguez. It's an American thrash metal band. Thrash metal is a type of heavy metal that is characterized usually by its fast tempo and aggression. It become my favorite band from last tonight. Most of people go to the concert late, just to see the band they wanted to see, usually will be the last one. I always go there on time and see all of them in case the last one wasn't good enough to pay off the ticket. 。 Bonded By Blood at My Space。

Alex Lee, the most beautiful guitarist I have ever seen. Beautiful fingers swift through the strings, Fine hair swing into the air from time to time. What a beautiful hair whip with the right speed and beauty motion. It's not too crazy and make me think the head might fall off any time. He was so sexy on the stage as well as was selling T-shirt and he makes me think about Jacob in Twilight. If I want to have a heavy metal band, Alex Lee will be the guitarist and the vocal would be James-Paul Luna  from Holy Grail... drummer, I do like Mikkey Dee, but I need someone cuter.

The second band was Lazarus A.D. It's a heavy metal band from Wisconsin, originally formed as "Lazarus" in 2005. The "A.D." was added to avoid potential legal issues. 。

I don't remember a lot from this band but I know I don't have too much of negative thought from them. I do enjoy the speed, the fast Riff (if I didn't get it wrong). Anyway you will get what I am talking about by listening to their music. I do like the speed and the vocal of the song "Black Rivers flow" from them. Lazarus A.D. at My Space。

This type of guitar called Fish shape or V shape. The advantage is that it can sit on the lap during the performing. 。 Lazarus A.D. @ Slim's 2011-1。

I move to the center area where those crazy people were before Death Angle went on the stage. I really curious what they are doing and wish to take a close look. I measured, the size of crazy circle and decide to stand next to the closest post next to the crazy circle. I assume that they will have to knock down the post before hit me and make sure I will be safe.

They finally came out after more then 10 minutes yelling screaming and shouting. I see how people under stage match people on the stage. Yes, these are the right group of people for the band and I know they are going to have lots of fun tonight. but me ... maybe not 。

Didn't take long, the first song already in the right tempo to fire up the crazy circle activity. You may see a little bit from my video. It's even more terrify to see it in live and so close. They walk in strange way (tilted the body about 10 degree and more degree of tilted on the head) then violently crash into the other people. Some of them are topless. Their expression on their face look like as if they have lost their soul or the devil went inside their body. They seems having fun though, I didn't want to worry too much. I take it as a way they communicate to each other to show their passion to the music. There was a really fat short woman, maybe around 40. she was like a big meat ball bounce between those tough guys, I have no idea what she was doing over there. but the big amount of fat she has might enough to protect her from getting injured.
