Su-tu-kil Saturday

One of our friends, Jayson is leaving for Singapore as he was offerred with a better oppurtunity. Actually, Singapore is the hot place for Engineers working in the Shipbuilding industry like us. And its probably a place beeping on our career radars for years to come as the shipbuilding industry continue to thrive with cargo ships and oil & gas offshore structures foreseen to be in demand in the next couple of decades. Most of my friends from my previous company are stationed there. However, I like my situation here in Korea right now as I look forward to a better opportunity in the next couple of years.

Anyways, after having hosted the small salo-salo birthday celebration of Danielle just a week ago, we decided to bring the private Farewell Party to our house. Jayson's Place does not have a living room since he didn't brought his family over here in Korea. So, he requested to have the venue in our place.

Being a Black Saturday, we decided to have a seafood-theme dinner with a menu we fondly call as Su-tu-kil (Sugba-Tula-Kinilaw). Sugba means grill as Jayson bought big squids we stuffed with spices prepared for the grill. Tula means soup for which shells was the main ingredient. Lastly, Kinilaw or fresh fish served raw together with spices and vinegar. A seafood feast we have all been craving since we arrived here in Korea. It had the familiar atmosphere of a homey family dinner as the party ended just after midnight for the Easter Sunday!
