[KOREA] JEONJU : 치즈명가 CHEESE MYEONGGA


When you eat around Jeonju hanok village, you can see so many foods using cheese named Imsil cheese but what is imsil? Imsil itself came from the origin area of the cheese maker, Imsil Country, Jeolla North province which located 30 minutes away from Jeonju. So here, i visited one of the famous store in Jeonju Hanok village for their imsil cheese based products, since 1967.

치즈명가
CHEESE  MYEONGGA

how to go:
전북 전주시 완산구 은행로 46

When you come in to the store, they'll give you free tester of their ice cream cheese and right after you eat it you can't leave the place without buying this because the creamcheese JUST.TOO.GOODY.CREAMY <3

they sell cheese, cheese cream, yogurt, baked cheese ‎(₩4000), cheese bread ( ₩2000) and many more!! HAHA all cheese. Actually they are famous with their Cheese bread but i'm lately fed up with bread so i just bought their package with a ice box so i can bring it to Seoul. 

SMALL PACKAGE
₩3000
2 ice cheese cream + 1 yogurt + 1 block cheese
well actually it quite expensive but it's okay too try because the taste is super yummy! The yogurt comes with original, apple, blueberry, and strawberry flavour ( i chose apple) and it tasted more like greek yogurt so thick and milky and sour. and for the cheese cream also comes with various flavour ( i choose original & blueberry) blueberry is too sweet for me, but i totally falled for their original flavour BETTER THAN PHILLADELPHIA!!

Taste 9/10

[KOREA] 올림픽공원 OLYMPIC PARK SEOUL

Seoul has lots of park! And after 1.5 years here this is my first time come to this park. This park is used as olympic 1988 and now become as great place for recreation and picnic with family and also the best date place :p i was amazed how big this park... i took around 4 hours walk from the main entrance gate and went back. They said there are 9 main attractions for taking photos (you can see the map below) but not all really important for me, so i'll you BEST 3 PHOTO SPOTS

ALONE TREE 
located the furthest of the park around 3.5km from entrance gate. Even only a single tree in the wide field but sooo beautiful with combination of blue sky and green field ♡ 

#2 
장미광장
ROSE PLAZA
Best choice if you want to see rose for free because if you go to rose garden in Seoul grand park you have to pay around ₩2000

#3
들꽃마루
WILD FLOWER GARDEN
i think this the best part of the park and also now famous in instagram HAHA wild flower garden changes depend on the season, MAY~JUN for wild poppy flower and SEP~OCT for yellow cosmos flower, 예쁘지?

And every season of olympic park has different beautiful part of it. Especially on autumn with the foliage. Ciao!

[KOREA] 전주 JEONJU ONE DAY TRIP

ANOTHER HOLIDAY SERIES! yeyyyy ♡ i got my other day off so i decided to go outside Seoul and i browsed one of the best historical tourist object and even rewardes by Unesco as a city of gastronomy for its thousand years food invention and classes. located in North jeolla province quite bit far from seoul but totally worth the way. So here i will guide you how to go around, use hanbok, and eat locals in

전주
JEONJU CITY


TRANSPORTATION
so from Seoul you can take some alternative depends on you budget
KTX from seoul station ₩34000 (>1.5 hours)
Mugunghwa from seoul station ₩17600 ( >3 hours)
BUS from dongseoul express terminal ₩12000(regular) / ₩20400 (premium)(>3.5 hours)



TOURIST OBJECT
Actually there some other objects in Jeonju, like Nambu night market, Jaman mural village, but actually the best #1 must visit on Jeonju is JEONJU HANOK VILLAGE super duper pretty more than 800 houses inside it! Make it as the biggest hanok area in Korea so pretty and super traditional warm feeling. I prefer this one than Bukcheon hanok village in Seoul. Even just walking around the hanok pretty already but you can go inside Gyeonggijeon palace for more ancient atmosphere. 
(How to go: take bus no.1000 or so many other number from Jeonju express bus terminal- around 15~20minutes)

HANBOK RENTING IN HANOK VILLAGE
it is normal to see lots of people in Hanbok around Hanok village. What can better than using Korea traditional cloth and taking photo with traditional houses as the background. So here there are tons of hanbok renting with different types of hanbok and prices. But here i found "eodiya hanbok" as the cheapest hanbok in Jeonju hanok village

MUST EAT JEONJU HANOK VILLAGE

What holiday to Jeonju without try its bibimbab, korea's most famous dish. As jeonju is the origin city of bibimbab and this one of the best restaurant for eat this

Best shrimp dumpling!


cruncy baguette with generous topping inside


Seoul also has this but wait until you see this size HAHA


Oil-free oven hot korean pancake what better than this?


korean traditional ice flakes
( but not regular taste something different!)


fruit punchy madness for hot day


When Creamy foamy meets cold brew coffee


no more factory chocopie, try homemade one!


local cheese factory famous with ice cream cheese and yogurt



SUPER SUPER BEST HEALING TIME ♡ 
even just one object but with 10 food in one day totally made my day! Hope can go back to Jeonju soon. Such a beautiful city with great food ♡ hope you go here when you come to Korea
