yinnytheyin: Korea, Seoul (1st Day)

Number 1 country in the bucket list has always been either Korea or Japan. Finally, the opportunity came in April 2014 and I can cross Korea off the list. So how was Korea? Weather good, people are nice, food is DAMN AWESOME!

Since there are only night flights to Korea, which is pretty awesome I must say, we reached Seoul in the morning, so we can start walking around.

We stayed in Sejong Hotel which is a pretty good location, the airport bus (6015) will stop directly in front of Sejong Hotel. Airport Bus stop is located directly outside the airport.

So, after reaching the hotel, what was the first thing that we ate? Myeongdong Gyoza!

Delicious Hand Cut Noodles

Mandu

Worried about conversing with them in English? No problem. Everything is in English, and they only have 4 items in the menu. Hand cut noodles and Mandu is a MUST order. Bibim Guksu for me is so so. But you must must try the kim chi. This is the hottest kim chi I have ever tasted. There is so much garlic flavor in here, one taste of it and you will be crying so much. It is that spicy, and it is damn good!

There are 2 branches in Myeong Dong. Get there early to avoid queue!

Later we went back to the hotel to sleep for a while cause we were sooo tired. It was a full flight and it was quite hard to sleep on a bumpy ride.

Next for dinner, we had Bongchu Jjimdak. Recommended by so many, so here we are! No problem in ordering, cause there's only 1 dish on the menu, haha

Bongchu Jjimdak

Sleepy face

This reminds me of ginger chicken, but instead of ginger, it's dry chilli pepper, potatoes, zuchini and noodles. This is soo delicious and also incredibly spicy. Better to eat it with rice. And also, it's nicer to eat the chicken with bones. We had ours without and the meat texture isn't that nice :(

After dinner, we did some walking around Myeong Dong. Kinda reminds me of pasar malam, cause it's mostly all food stalls.
