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!

Last day in Paris...

soon.. it will be last day in Singapore... having mixed feelings... =(

we found the highly recommended crepes by a travel guide!

Chicken and Cheese!

Damn Bloody BIG!

and very very nice sculptures, observe the expressions.

when will i have the marneeeee.... to buy this?


then we went to Leon... a famous restarant well known for mussels! highly recommended by my bro-in-law friends, as well as my friend!

Kickstart with some pretzels...

Beef Stew

Mussels with some funny tomato sauce...

Mussels with bacon and some wierd cream...

But everything is soooo nice!

This is it!

Prawn mee in Paris.

Back to SG...

Dinner - Damn nice! Curry chicken noodle, brinja pie, baguette, raspberry cream cheese cake, and red wine of cos!

Breakfast...

pressies...ok

bye.

Back to Paris Day 10 - BEST french dinner and cake

So, well I am into 5th day of work soon! Day 1, I was disoriented! Day 2, I was oriented and I met up with some people in the same "thing" as me! They come from all parts of the world, and speak damn good/fluent English, and I was like... Singlish all the way! haha. Day 3 and Day 4, my job was to talk and interact with "people"! Day 5, have tea with the "last person" and do a presentation on some "stuff". Next week, I will be moving to another office in that area, the downgraded from VERY high storey to medium storey, I guess i will miss the fantastic view of the sea from the pantry, as well as the jam biscuits.

So far so good! I have made new friends/colleagues/acquaitance. Some of them are really nice to talk to! I cannot wait for what lies ahead, and I look forward to each day. Hopefully my energy will remain consistent for a long long time.

As for exercise, I have woke up at 5am twice to go for my mid distance run... and I am so proud of my discipline! :P But this was outweigh by a heavyyyy beer/martini drinking session yesterday...

Tomorrow marks the last day of my stay in the office, so since i got many free gumgums, I will bring along my collection of RS which I bought from Berlin.

OK! back to Paris day 10... after the picnic outside lourve, surely we must eat dinner right!?

so we took a ride along the river...

Notre Dame as seen from the ferry

Eiffel Tower loooks the BEST from the ferry!

the top viewing platform of the Eiffel Tower taken with my new cam (specially for this trip) - 48X zoom sia!

after the tiring day, the ferry ride, the endless shopping, we finally settled down in a restaurant recommended by a friend

Luckily, they have special English menu, but the english menu description does not help much!
but, we still managed to order some darn nice food. damn nice.

Sister's - she got a mixed platter. ranked 2nd out of 4.

Foie Gras is OMG nice!!!! damn nice. I love it, everyone loves it! The bacon is a tat too raw and oily of cos, the duck breast has a very tender and unique taste and texture!

Bro-in-law - Steak, his steak is so much nicer than mine! ranked 3rd out of 4.

Mine - Steak with Roquefort cheese. This has to be the last ranking dish amongst all, even though it is like many many times better than steaks i tried in SG!

GF's - This is the champion dish - Turkey tagliatto - The turkey is sooooo soft and infused with flavours you cannot imagine! The pasta is very chewy and the whole dish just goes so well, every details, from the pasta to the lemon sauce to the turkey!

Lemon meringue pie




follow by the BEST cake I had... this simple harmles looking pastry bought from a nearby bakery got me hooked!

chocolate and strawberry flavour. I don't know what are these called, but when someone (who is a health nut) can finish 2 in one go, you know that this stuff gotta be so so soooo nice. Layers and layers of cream/chocolate/strawberry/biscuits/cake/flakes/icing... its a french kueh lapis!

This is the best meal for the entire trip!
