OOps..haven really been updating as regularly as I would have liked.
Starting to get used to ordering food here in Korea>>though the need to randomly pick off from the menu hasn't really changed, I'm beginning to recognise a word or 2 here that may indicate rice, noodles etc.. haha.. til now, ordering ramen is still the safest bet. Anyway the soup base here is real spicy and delicious!
A spicy challenge for lunch
We went to the shopping streets near Ewha Woman's University on Sunday. Fantastic for women shoppers, because the whole area are selling predominantly female items>>accessories, clothing etc etc. Amazingly we managed to run into the NUS ppl into one of the shop. So we joined them for their trip down to Myeong-Dong! the area we were at yest.
We were all introduced to this famous noodles stall in Myeong-Dong, which specialises in making traditional Korean noodles (cant rem wat its called in Korean le) In fact the signboard outside boldly states : the best Korean restaurant in Seoul!
We had to queue out all the way to the outside of the shop! (its a 2-story building by the way)
Finally the noodles arrived...At 1st taste, I thought the chief had overcooked my share, because it was rather soggy for me. However after eating the next few mouthfuls of the delicious noodles, i realised that the noodles are special in that although they are soggy in texture, they are actually quite QQ de. Guess onli those who've tried will understand this complicated feeling..
After dinner, Was ard the area when we saw the shop Krispy Kreme. Apparently this is one FAMous brand. Pardon my ignorance, i haven heard of it until now:P
The great donut factory at work...
We decided we'll get 2 dozens for breakfast for the whole group. Anyway we tried one and it was great! maybe even better than the brand thats making waves in sg lately :)
Cheonggyecheon re-visited!
It was nearby anyway. We stopped by Cheonggyecheon for a nightstroll. Even though I've been here alr the previous day, coming again this time rd with the NUS guys and gals were really fun. Think we stopped by the side for quite a long chat huh. wonderful interaction with them fun-loving ppl all in all. :>
More Night views of the City hall of Seoul. We missed the Seoul Drama Awards ceremony i think. can clearly see them packing up the stage and stuff. An eventful day nonetheless..
