[KOREA] WINTER HUNGRY JEJU

HELLOO! its already 3rd advent week! Christmas is getting closer. Well now i'm on my duty trip again to Korea! Departed on 15th dec by asiana airlines, and we took a domestic flight to Jeju island as our first destination. First meal that we had was SUNDUBU JJIGAE 순두부찌개 ( Korean tofu soup ) wah! Cold weather super spicy sour tofu soup succeed made my stomatche wanna explodeddd! So yummy!

As Jeju island is famous with its tangerine, we visited a Tangerine plantation. WIHHHHH  from september to december always be perff time for tangerine harvest. Beautiful oranges close by snow. We called it ES-JERUK ( Snow-Orange) hahahaa

And then we took our 1.5 hours flight to Jeju. Weather was so bad like crayyy, thunder and storm shaked our flight HAHA thank God we were totally safe. We directly went to Seongsan Sunrise peak and [MAGER] i just stuck and amazed with much much snow around and AGAIN we ate. Now we had GALBITANG 갈비탕 ( Korean beef ribs soup ) Mennnnnnnnn so savory and found some suprised clear chewy noodle inside the soup ♡♡♡ me and after got lots of energy we stupidly built a snowman and sang Frozen's song like a autism children HAHAA

Next destination is Teddy bear Museum. Well... its been our many times here. So we just waited outside and then decided to EAT AGAIN since crazy winter always makes our lovrly tummy hungry all the time. We bought ODEN 오덴 and TTEOKPOKKI 떡볶이 and still..... felt hungry menn

DINNER TIME! Its been our 4th time in a day -> EAT. Men... you all cant imagine our stomach, cant you? Haha. We had HANJEONGSIK 한정시 ( Korean Set Menu ) ugh ugh ugh pork belly, grilled macarel, and steam egg in a table men and lots of side dishes! FOR THIS TIME i could eat a full bowl of rice HAHAHAA

Finally the night was came and we went to Nanta theather to drop off our guest there and we had to wait like 1.5hours till the show is over. Me and Mey ( my friend) looed for a coffee shop and this cray village didnt have it until We found a lil newly opened coffee shop named OMEGI. They sell freshly made milk ice cream as their speciality. We ordered  MIKI ICE CREAM 미기미기 & ICED AMERICANO 아이수아메리가노 for price yaaa like regular coffee shop around ₩3500~₩5000. what suprising was the ice cream. Its totally Great! Tasted like super fresh milk transform into icecream with simple sweet and vanilla taste 대박!

and im promised it will be the last for my jeju story..... STARBUCKS! standard bla bla bla. Im totally interesting with 2015 planner since it SBUCKS X MOLESKINE. Well i just newly know "cool" pricey notebook from my boyfriend *norak* and do you pay attention on my word? I HAVE A BOYFRIEND HAHAHAHAHAAH ok this food and travel blog hana not a diary okok skip it. 2 thing my favorite in Korea Starbucks especially in jeju. I got my HOT JEJU GREENTEA TALL ₩3500 and CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CAKE ₩4500. gosh gosh gosh best starbucks combination i ever had! The chocolate cake is totally bitter from dark chocolate hmm texture like brownies but softer and chocolate mousse on top and hot light greentea ugh ugh best thing for closing the day!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! night in Korea never complete without chicken and beer and hellyeah here near my hotel, there is KYOCHON well norak because there are some store in Indonesia but different TASTE & SIZE here so yummy and tasty! oh ya here a bucket of chicken price  ₩15000. More expensive but totally worth it!

Stilllll more more more things that I eat on my winter duty trip to Korea! ♡♡ CIAO!

[KOREA] SEOUL I'M IN LOVE ♡

SEOUL! Finally city view HAHA shopping! I just love city view, skyscrapper, traffic jam, crowds. After 4 hours drive from mt. Seorak and 1 rest area stop, we made it here. Btw, in korea, Rest area is so clean and lovely. There are food court, ofcourse toilet, mini market and even some clawn machine :3 beaucse of fall, everything just looks amazing! Red, yellow, and green leaves, cool wind breeze, sipping hot chocolate ☕ because I arrived here about 12 am, i was having lunch here. There are some choices, RAMYEON 라면 (Korean noodle), UDON 우동 (Japanese big noodle), BIBIMBAB 비빔법(Korean mix rice with vegetable and beef ), and many more. I chose HAEMUL RAMYEON 해믈라면 (seafood ramyeon) ₩5,000 or IDR 60,000. Hot broth, fresh clams and squid so yummy!!! And dont forget eat it with kimchi and raddish. 

Korea is like a coffee addict country. You can easily find coffee shop every corner of the street. And here I drank my most favorite ICE CARAMEL MACHIATO from EDIYA COFFEE priced ₩ 4,500 for medium and ₩ 6,000 for large one. I thing it even tasted better than starbucks' my favvvv <3 check out my previous post about it! here

 

SHOPPING TIME!!

MYEONGDONG, the number 1 must visit place in Seoul. Myeongdong is like pasar baroe in jakarta, huge shopping street that you can find everything here from street food, local brand store, international brand store, and many more. But now I didn't buy anything cause it starts fall/winter collection and nothing can be use in Indonesia since it has different season I preferred myself "snack" HAHA. I bought CHICKEN SATAY ₩ 3,000, i forgot photo but it looked like kebab, huge satay with chicken , leek, and some vegetables in sour sweet sauce yum! and then refresh myself with POMEGRANATE JUICE ₩5,000, quite expensive but totally worth it so fresh, sweet with a lil bitter taste. and at least not last, TTEOKPOKKI W 8,500, korean rice cake and fish cake in sweet spicy jojujang sauce & KIMBAB ₩7,000, korean sushi with tuna inside 

And this is the end my autumn journey. Korea never makes me bored every season has it magical scenery. See on other travel diary!!

KOREA TRIP : BEANS BINS COFFEE SHOP

Randomly remembering my duty trip to Korea. I think my next trip is Korea again but unfortunately I have to go to ..... JAPAN baby!!! Oh my God! Oh my God! crazy crazy crazy my dream since I was a child! Land of the rising sun. I don't know it's already fixed or not but have applied my visa 2 days ago so #PRAYFORHANAGOESTOJAPAN *what a hast tag* Well back to Korea HAHA. Korea is known on the 3rd rank of the country with biggest coffee consumption in asia and in 2012 number of coffee consumption increased about 200% from 2011. You can find coffee shop in every corner of the street, international brand like starbucks, dunkin donuts, and many more or local brand. But here I prefer local brand to be tried since the price is cheaper but the quality of coffee is the same as the international one. If it's too far to try Korea's local brand coffee shop in Korea, you can try it at Lotte shopping avenue Jakarta, you can find Caffe Benne or Angel in us, both are Korean local coffee brand. So this BEANS BINS COFFEE, one of local brand coffee shop that located in Doota Shopping center, Dong Dae Mun area.
