Friday night in Seoul was our date night (and also the last day of Panda's business trip). Since he was yearning to catch a movie in Seoul, I checked with my close friend who is working in Gangnam on some of the possible cinemas that have English movies. She suggested Megabox Coex, which is located inside Coex Mall, a newly renovated underground shopping mall in Gangnam. At least, Megabox Coex (16 halls) is known to show more updated English movies (with Korean subtititles). The only flaw is that, the website is in Korean, so, either you need someones help to translate, or diligently do the translation yourself beforehand. It is probably easier to just purchase the tickets on the spot as some staff are able to speak English. Movie tickets are prices reasonably even on a Friday night!

Since our movie was at 11 pm, we had ample time for dinner. The problem is, most kitchens in Coex Mall are close by 9.30 pm. We decided to try out Sushi O', a Japanese restaurant which was still open and accepting customers (although Japanese food was not exactly on our itinerary during our visit to Korea). We ordered the couple set because we were attracted to the presentation of sushi on the special wooden stand ;p. For starters, there was a bowl of salad which Panda loved so much because of the special citrus dressing used. The mini bowl of Udon was really delicious and flavourful..so colourful to just look at it!

We had a regular popcorn to share during the movie. Nothing to shout about though. In fact, those that I used to have from GSC or TVG Malaysia were way better in terms of flavour. The cinema (seats, screen) were just alright, again, nothing if compared to the cinema in Siam Paragon, Thailand. We took a cab back to the hotel as it was way past midnight. It was a lovely night out in Seoul :)
