So Far Seoul Good - Part 7 - Day 4 - Bibimbap, Jajangmyeon, Strawberries, Kraze Burger, Soft serve

I have discontinued this segment of "So far Seoul Good" for quite some time as I was busy blogging about other events! Now that my life is getting a bit "boring", and I have nothing much to blog about, I guess it's time for me to continue with "So far Seoul Good"!!!

This is a continuation from: So Far Seoul Good - Part 6 - Post race Steamboat Shabu Shabu dinner

Day 4 - we moved to a new Hotel

Their version of our "TODAY" newspaper - just a smart guess

Nice and pretty korean traditonal costume known as Hanbok.

Seoul street food - corny dogs, dumplings, fishcake and sausages

Fresh sweet strawberries

A lady selling Tteokbokki (Stir Fried Rice Cake) - I tried this before in SG, and I totally hate it! It taste like rubber in Singapore. But I totally love this thing in Seoul. It is stir fried in gochujang-based sauce.

Really a good treat for the tummy, warms it up in the cold cold few degrees celcius weather

and overlooking a beautiful river while eating... the gravy of the Tteokbokki is sooo tasty that I can just slurp the whole thing dry!

and its time for proper lunch... our stomach is calling for it!

unappetising... and we have no idea what this street stall is selling... haha

and so we went to another small eatery that looks good (because it is quite crowded!)

Side dishes - the must have kimchis, and radish

Bibimpap which I totally love! Everything is coarser, the cucumbers are sliced thicker, the sprouts are thicker, and everything seems crunchier! Every bite of it is so crunchy!

Jajangmyeon - similar to the chinese version of zajiang mian, it is basically wheat noodles cooked with black soybean paste. Not really to my liking thou.

Nice New Balance walking shoes...

After a long and tiresome walk in Myeungdong, we are tired and hungry again...

Kraze burger 2! If there is 2, there must be 1, if there is 1, it means that it must be so good such that it can expand to 2?!?!? That's my reasoning. lol

Indeed my reasoning is true to some sense! The chilli fries is amazingly nice... the beed burger does not have the oily taste and the beef patty is thick and flavorsome-full!


and my BIL was craving for ice-cream...

Soft serve!

Looks like the one in Taipei, but standing at half the height and probably twice the amount!

Manna Korea @ Takashimaya

Manna Korea

Something good enough for lunch... What is this called? argh... i can't remember... its located at the basement of takashimaya near the food court.

I like the peanuts, i dun like the anchovies, i like the kimchi.

healthy K-Food at food court meridien hotel

Have you ever heard of Hotplate without using any oil? Yes its true and its located at the Food Court of Meridien Hotel (Near Istana). The Hotplate are cookied using water, so no oil is added. Now, who says you cannot enjoy food that is tasty yet healthy... moreover, at food court price! Every main dish come with a choice of a side dish - Anchovies, Kim Chi and Pickled Cucumber. With an additional 20 cents, you can upgrade your bowl of white rice to brown rice! And to those on low-carbs diet, you cna ask them to remove the rice, and they will adjust the price accordingly!

Spicy Chicken Hotplate

The Meat is very very tender and the spiciness is just right. On top of that, the portion is really big, so for small eaters, 2 person can actually share 1 main! Since no oil was used in the cooking process, there won't be any oily-after-taste.

Dduk bok gi - Stir Fried Korean Flour Cake

This dish is actually quite popular but i don't really like it, because it feel like chewing on bubble gum! But many like it because its very chewy and doughy. The white strips u see are actually rice cake cooked in spicy dressing, made with gochujang (red pepper paste).

Steamed Saba Fish

Steamed Saba - A very healthy choice! Its steamed! no oil used once again, and fishes themselves are high in protein! Look at the portion...so big! 2 big pieces of saba for like only $6.50. nice la..just try... im lazy to convince u foodies....!
