Tony Roma's for Dinner

Tonight we went a little crazy and went to Tony Roma's for some grub. I figure Jess does a lot for us and Kate needs some time out of the kitchen and, heck, I like ribs. We had a pretty good feed: Kate and I shared a full slab of ribs, Jess had a 1/2 slab and Spencer had chicken strips (oh, and one Pepsi). The total bill surprised me: 56.36 CAD with tip! I figured out from the Tony Roma's Korea site that the same thing in Seoul would have cost 69,410 won (or about 79.90 CAD) including the 10% VAT (but no tipping). Wow, it would have been 41.7% more in Korea! Many things in Korea are cheaper, eating out Western-style is not one of them. But, if you're going to have Western food Tony Roma's has been voted, and is my, favourite foreign food place in Seoul--it's exactly like at home; except they add pickles on the table.

Afterward it took a bit to get the kids tired...got this pic of Winston.


Winston models the Agabang mobile from Yumi (brother-in-law's girlfriend). Kinda looks Vietnamese, eh?

Ok, time for bed, later.
