Onedang Gamjatang (Myeongdong 1)

I'm back with another review of a restaurant in Myeongdong! If you are wondering why I'm always talking about things to eat in Myeongdong, that's because I always stay in this area during my Korea trips. It's really convenient for tourists, + I have member's discount & loyalty points for Skypark Myeongdong, so I might …

Florté Flower Cafe (플로르떼)

When it comes to stuff like hunting down famous food places, I usually leave it to my friends and family to do it, because I'm not really the kind of person who will intentionally hunt down these places. However, when I saw this café in a Korea guide book, I knew I had to go. …

PLAY K-POP (Jeju)

We came here a few years as part of our tour itinerary - my memory of it may be a wee bit hazy, but by no means inaccurate! Jeju Jungmun Resort presents the digital theme park "PLAY K-POP" where new media technology and K-pop music meet. The Live Holo Concert, a hologram concert, gives more …

Lotteria: Fast Food Chain

I was told that I had to try Lotteria in Korea. It's like the equivalent of McDonalds and KFC, and it is BIG in Korea. So naturally, I assumed that it was a Korean fast food chain. I was wrong! Lotteria is a chain of fast food restaurants in East Asia that grew out of its first shop in Tokyo, Japan in September …

Korean-Chinese Cultural Center (Incheon)

As part of our trip to Incheon's Chinatown, we decided to have a look at the Korean-Chinese Cultural Center, not so much because we hadn't any clue about Chinese culture, but we wanted to see how it adapted and evolved in Korea. The Korean-Chinese Cultural Center was built by the Jung-gu District of Incheon to …

CAFÉ CHAIN: Miss Lee Café (Insadong)

I heard that this cafeé chain was very famous, but the first question that came to my mind was: "Who's Miss Lee?" To be honest, I still don't know, but it doesn't matter. Miss Lee Café is easily spotted from far away, thanks to who I can only assume is Miss Lee, perched on a bench …

Myeongdong 56th: Army Stew in Seoul

It seems that most people know about army stew when you talk about Korean cuisine, and so we knew we couldn't go without at least having one meal of army stew on any of our trips to Korea. For the unacquainted, Budae-jjigae (부대찌개; literally "army base stew") or sausage stew is a type of jjigae (stew), made with ham, sausage, spam, baked beans, kimchi and gochujang.[ The dish …

Jeju Folk Village

Another one of the first few attractions that I visited on my first trip to Korea, this was my first look into traditional Korea. With a total of 117 houses and facilities, Jeju Folk Village has restored the scenes of the village to that of the 1890’s. Among them are Mountain Village, Hill-Country Village, Fishing …

Jeju Teseum (Teddy Bear Museum)

This was the very first attraction that I visited in Korea, and the first in Jeju as well, so it holds a very special place in my heart haha. We came here immediately after landing at Jeju International Airport. For those who love teddy bears and have fond memories of having one as a toy …

Emokdae 이목대 (Jeonju): Bibimbap

Our first stop in Jeonju on our Nov 2018 trip was Jeonju Hanok Village, and we thought it would be nice to have some authentic Jeonju bibimbap here. Now, for the unacquainted, Jeonju is the birthplace of your favourite Korean dish, so it only made sense that we had bibimbap here, and of all places, …
