Winter in Korea 2019: Day 6: Seoul (Last Monday of 2019)



We started the day grabbing breakfast along the way and thankful that there is an Isaac Toast within walking distance from where we stay.

Isaac Toast - Sinseol-dong
Menu

Nearest to Exit 11 of the station

We were meeting Ms J and her sister at 10am so we decided to eat at the train station (yes, it is alright to eat at the train station, just remember to clean up after yourselves).

Meeting our friends at Gyeongbokgung station

I ordered the Bulgogi mvp


Ms P ordered the Bacon & Cheese muffin

Tasty breakfast, even though we didn't eat it straight away but it still tasted good. 

Exit 4 of Gyeongbokgung station

We went to rent hanbok! They were having good promotion so it cost us 14,900won for 4 hours rental (inclusive of hairdo).






It was freezing cold and drizzling so we had to run from shelter to shelter. 


Then we went for lunch. (yes, in our hanbok). 

Apparently it is Michelin-starred restaurant. 

Tasty!!!
Cold Noodles

                                             

After we returned our gowns, Ms J's sister brought us to a nice cafe nearby.

Dream Come True 2013 - Day 4 in Korea - Seoul (13 Dec 2013, Friday)

Image
Onto our second day in Seoul, one which we would probably theme it the cultural experience of Seoul! First stop of our itinerary was the Bukchon Hanok Village... I have heard a lot about the village, that it is one of the districts in Korea filled with traditional type of Korean houses, otherwise known as Hanok. The main thing that attracted me to this place of interest was the photo spots. There are basically 8 photo spots which would take you through a tour through the village, where you would find the 8 distinctive spots to photograph the beautiful, rich in history Bukchon Hanok Village. How to get there? Alight at Anguk Station (Seoul Subway Line 3). From Exit 2, go straight for about 300m to arrive at Bukchon Hanok Village. There is an information counter whereby you can get maps of various languages and there are guides along the way to ensure that you are on the right track. The hike around the village should took us about 1.5 hours (that was 7 spots covered), so it wo...

Layover in Tokyo, Japan (25 Jun 2018)

Image
In my recent business trip to San Jose, I transited at Tokyo, Japan for my connecting flight to Los Angeles. That also gave me my first opportunity, or excuse rather, to visit Japan, finally! I have heard so much about this city, but being there, felt surreal! So my flight to Tokyo (HND) was due to arrive at 5.50am but it landed 1/2 hour earlier instead! So that gave me an extra 1/2 hour in Japan! Hooray!!! 😆 And the first experience of punctuality! The flight I took from Singapore to HND was Japan Airlines and I have to say I'm impressed! It is one of the healthier choice you can get for airplane food! In flight meal - look at the green tea!!! And the rice was super tasty too! Just before landing, the air stewardess gave us the arrival cards to fill in. There are 2 forms to be filled in.  Front Back Upon arrival, follow the arrival sign to clear customs.  The queue to clear immigration was super long so it took me a good 45 mins before I manage...

Kind Notice: This is a PHOTO-HEAVY BLOG POST... Our hotel room in Flamingo Hotel by the Beach came with buffet breakfast, so we delighted ourselves in the variety of food made available. Flamingo Cafe - time for breakfast! Chicken Porridge  Somehow always found that Malaysia does their porridge very well and I've always liked it... Prawn noodles The prawn noodles was a bit bland in our perspective. Western choices Have to admit that they did their chicken sausages really well that we went back for another serving... Cereal time! I am personally not a fan of cereals but I have somehow fell in love with cereals after this trip! Fruits Ended our breakfast with healthy fruits! Then we went back up to the hotel room, took our luggage down and prepared to check out and headed off to George town, Penang. The ride cost us RM25 (SGD$9.70~).  Cititel PENANG Panoramic view of the hotel room View from our hotel room EXPLORE GEORG...
