Ladies and friends, happiness plays a vital role in our lives. Without it, life is pretty miserable. Everyone has a different source of Happiness and I am pretty sure of that.

Since food is life and it gives happiness to everyone, Me and my friends tried their Samgyupsal. And we ordered their Unlimited Fiesta set.
These are the side dishes given to us.
Tempura
Thinned potato
Kimchi
It also has pickled cucumber, lettuce and scrambled eggs.
Sauce to dip.
In the Fiesta set, we received unlimited beef meat, chicken meat, and pork meat of different flavors.
The first step we did was to put all the meat and shrimp in the Barbeque grilled pan. In making samgyup, we will cook the meat ourselves first.
While waiting for the meat to be ready, we tried their porridge, and it was delicious.
Here, we will not use a fork, instead, we will use chopsticks. It is kinda difficult for the first timers but as we keep going through, we can learn it easily.
Since we are waiting for the meat, I will give you a glimpse of how it looks inside. They have this Korean feeling ambiance. The place is cozy and neat. As if you are eating in Korea. It can boost your appetite.

When the meat is ready, we grab lettuce, put the meat and kimchi, then wrap it all, add sauce then eat. You can also add rice if you want.
Take a look at our faces. You can see happiness while biting.
Since we ordered the Unlimited Fiesta set, upon finishing the first plate of meat, we asked the waiter to give us more. Not just the meat but we also asked for more lettuce, kimchi, and all other side dishes. Since it is Unlimited, then there is no room to feel shy.
While we were eating, we shared different stories and experiences of life. We experienced that moment where we didn't mind what's the time because all of us were focused on talking and laughing.
The good thing is that we learned different lessons in front of the food. I can say that the moment we had was and always be a precious scenario for me.
After several hours staying in Hot Flaming Pig, we went to an ice cream store nearby for our dessert.
Each of us was savoring the moment and did not stop eating until we got a full stomach. Eating this kind of dish happens seldom that is why I enjoyed it so much. I am thinking of it as a price for myself since class has become heavy lately. Sometimes we have to treat ourselves, guys.
Since all of us had a heavy stomach, and the public plaza was just nearby, we decided to do a walk. For about 10 minutes, we walked and it helped to digest some of the food in our stomach. We also did eye-seeing that made us not get bored. After a couple of hours staying in Bogo City Cebu, we went home.
I am thankful for everything. I went home not just having a full and happy tummy, but a grateful heart as well.
I am blessed to meet friends whom I can count on, no matter what the situation is. I am also beyond lucky to experience the wonders of the earth and enjoy the gift of life.
Be safe Hivers! ❤️
