[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!

[JOGJA] PEMPEK GORDON BLUE AT PEMPEK "ON TOP"

Setelah makan pagi di hotel, perut-perut gajah ini masih lapar. Dan kita nyebrang dari hotel kita di Whiz Hotel Yogyakarta, ada satu tempat makan unik, perkawinan #elah makanan palembang & western, PEMPEK ON TOP. Namanya sih aneh ya HAHAHAH ok jadi disini terkenal dengan makanan nya yang unik yaitu PEMPEK GORDON BLU, adonan pempek diluar dan dalamnya melting cheese and ham UGHHHHH enak banget, harganya sekitar IDR 15,000 tapi totally worth it! Terus makannya pakai cuko ( kuah pempek ), ada yang pedas ada yang manis.

Dan untuk minumnya disini terkenal dengan kopinya, menurut rekomendasi mbaknya paling enak ES KOPI ROBUSTA IDR 10.000an tapi ternyata memang enak! kopinya pekat gitu ketemu creamy fresh milk, cocok banget buat ilangin rasa pempek yang ikan banget

Overall, enak juga tempatnya buat nongkrong-nongkrong, makanannya juga simpel tapi enak!

[JOGJA] GOA PINDUL

Dan satu lagi objek wisata paling menarik dan lagi cukup hits di jogja. yap, GOA PINDUL. Seperti yang sudah di mention di review Goa Jomblang, didaerah gunung kidul ini banyak banget keindahan alam goa-goa yang cocok banget buat jiwa-jiwa alay, maksudnya petualang HAHAHAHA dan Goa Pindul ini cocok banget karena bukan  cuma goa tapi banyak aktivitas yang kita bisa lakukan sini. Berikut pricelist nya :

CAVE TUBING GOA PINDUL IDR 35,000 / ORANG

CAVING GOA GELATIK IDR 30,000 / ORANG

OFF ROAD IDR 350,000 / 4 ORANG

RIVER TUBING KALI OYO IDR 45,000 / ORANG

biaya tambahan FOTO IDR 80,000 / OBJEK

biaya tambahan TITIP BARANG IDR 15,000 / KOTAK

Dan banyak pengelola disini ga seperti Goa Jomblang yang cuma satu. Nah yang kita pakai namanya Panca Wisata. Pas tiba kita disuruh registrasi ulang ( setelah reservasi dari jakarta) tapi kalau mau onthespot juga bisa karena dia bisa menampung banyak orang, terus kita pilih pelampung sesuai dengan ukuran, dan untuk barang-barang jangan takut hilang karena disini ada penitipan barang. Terus untuk yang basah-basah karena masih miskin ga punya gopro, kita sewa fotografer lagi YEYEYEYE :3 Dan kita disini ambil 2 objek, CAVE TUBING + RIVER TUBING 

Dari tempat kita registrasi ulang terus pakai pelampung dan lain-lain, kita jalan masuk ke gang gitu, dan ditengah jalan kita ambil ban UGH terus jalan lagi ga jauh sih cuma 5 menitan juga dan kita sampai ke objek pertama, GOA PINDUL. Kita dibantu dengan 1 orang pemandu dan ada juga 1 fotografer yang ikutin. Kita dibantu turun satu2 duduk diatas ban dan pegangan di handle temen yang satu lagi biar ga buyar-buyar :P 

Disini guide menjelaskan ada beberapa zona yang ada di dalam goa, kita juga bisa lihat stalaktit dan stalakmit yang masih keluar tetesan airnya. Air nya yang tenang bikin ngantuk HAHAHA *pelor* setelah kurang lebih 45 menit kita sampai di ujung goa. Disini kita bisa bebas deh renang-renang kaya duyung.

Okeh! Lanjut ke objek berikutnya, RIVER TUBING SUNGAI OYA. Nah untuk objek yang ini jaraknya cukup jauh gitu jadi kita musti jalan ke point awal dan naik bak terbuka. HOEK basah-basah kena angin hahahahaa sampe objek yang satu lagi badan udah mulai kering. SUPER EXCITED BUAT OBJEK INI! karena di mobil depan kita cowo nya ganteng-ganteng #salahfokus.

Buat yang Kali Oyo ini, cukup panjang treknya sekitar 1,5 km. Kata guidenya ini bisa di tempuh dengan waktu 1-2 jam aja dan tebak dong kita berapa lama sampai ujung, 4 JAM BROH! gila dari excited sampe eneg, dari kering sampai tangan peyot-peyot. HAHA tapi gpp seru kok ini. Awal-awal kita amazed liat kali nya yang unik, kirain ini buatan tapi tau nya asli. Banyak air-air mancur kecil di kiri kanan kali. Karena bosen duduk di atas ban, kita semua pilih untuk berenang bebas aja terus bannya dibawain sama abangnya.... HAHA dan kedalaman disini ga rata ada yang 2 meter ada yang 1 meter ada yang bener-bener dangkal gitu. Kurang lebih sampai 1 jam pertama kita ketemu pemberhentian pertama yang aneh dan rame gitu banyak orang-orang ngumpul, apa itu?

Ternyata itu.... CLIFF JUMPING. asik keren banget kan. Semua orang pada coba loncat. Dan karena ngeliat di ujung lompatan ada cowo ganteng gw buru-buru naik ke atas #matakeranjang. Dan pas udah sampe atas tau nya ga ganteng sial bener. Dan udah ga bisa turun juga karena susah turunnya licin gitu banyak batu-batu berlumut tidak ada pilihan lain selain loncat. Setelah kejang-kejang ketar ketir, yaudah ok semua orang udah tereak-tereak LOMPAT LOMPAT LOMPAT. 

Akhirnya GU.E.LOM.PAT DAMN!!!!! itu 10meter tingginya coy!!!!! rasanya KAYA GA ADA PIJAKAN HIDUP RASANYA LEBIH SEREM DARI PADA GA KETEMU JODOH DARI PADA JADI JOMBLO ARRRGGGGGGG #OVERREACTED. dan setelah jantung berenti berapa detik, gw mendarat di air yang tenang dengan pantat duluan, udah tepos makin tepos. Dan ternyata ini bikin nagih parah! 

Yang paling bikin kesel, ternyata temen-temen yang lain coba dulu yang 5meter....... Gw even ga tau ada yang 5 meter, efek ngeliat cowo ganteng yang ternyata ga ganteng #murahan. Dan gw naik dan lompat lagi jadi total 2 kali. Tapi tetep gw ga kebayang kalo orang cliff jumping kaya di Bali gitu yang puluhan meter apalagi buggy jumping yang lebih dari 40 meter DIE.

Lalu kita ngelanjutin lagi mengarungi sungai kehidupan #lebay. Cape banget jadi kita bermalas-malasan dan suruh masnya yang narik kita HAHAAH dan akhirnya sampe YEYEYEYE hari mulai sore dan kita balik ke tempat awal dan mandi ditempat yang disediain

HAHHHHH BENER-BENER HARI YANG MELELAHKAN tapi seneng banget! Goa Pindul bagus banget. Setelah selesai mandi akhirnya kita ambil barang dan dikasih 1 dvd berisi semua foto-foto peyot kita. Will come back here soon for sure! Seru banget!!!
