I Love Kimchi~~

Seoul~~

Korean dramas = sobbie shows (i never watched a single korean drama show in my whole life)
except for "My Sassy girl"...hmm..but that's a movie leh
===> Oh boy, i love that movie so much eventhough it's like a really old one

After watching it with Tom, i kept calling myself "Sassy girl" for weeks
and everytime Tom does/says something that i disagree on, i'll go like "You WANNA die? You WANNA die?" like how she does it.. So funny~

I find the girl (cant rem her name off hand) really cute, and the guy even cuter
Tom find the girl really cute too..but he thought the guy was abit of a wuss

C'mon!! we "Sassy girls" loves guys like him!!! *yummy*

alrite, enough of this..i'm gonna talk about my Seoul trip actually..

I love Korean food! Its kinda hard to find authentic Korean food in Singapore..
My favourite hunt is probably the Korean Stall located at Mandarin Hotel's food court
The spicy shedded Chicken is a MUST-HAVE!!
Tom said that the Korean joint at Amara hotel serves really good Korean food too...

In Korea, the main course is usually served with rice, soup and a few side-dishes. They are usually Namul (Vegetable Dishes).

MY KIMCHI!!!! *tasty*


And this is my colleague with his bulgogi ===>"Korean barbecue". Thin, tender slices of beef are marinated with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other spices.

The irritating thing with bulgogi is that once the beef starts to simmer, there will be tons and tons of stoopid smoke. Moi's hair and clothes smell of Bulgogi after that!

And im not even the one eating it
*blame myself for sitting opposite him*
Grrrrrr

This is what moi had ===>spicy soup with ham and sausages.
Yesh, i know..it doesnt sound so KOREAN!! HAHA

After dinner, we decided to walk down to Nam Dae Mun Market.


From the outside, it looks kinda quiet and unappealing. But once you walked in, it's a totally different story!

They sell things ranging from hair accessories, clothes, food, cosmetics, toiletries
Anything and Everything!! Its amazing!!!
Of course, like any tourist place, you gotto bargain lah..But dun quote too low a price else they will curse u in some korean words and chase you away..
That's what happen to my colleague and myself when we tried to buy seaweed from this elderly uncle *ran away terrified*

At least moi managed to buy my fakie eye lashes and Laneige strawberry yogurt pack!
Laneige products are cheaper here!! (Of cos lah..Korean products mah..duh~)

Further down, we came to the food section of Nam Dae Mun.
I don't think i'll fancy this kind of Korean food..Like clams and sotong...Yikes
I mean i Love seafood but these are like..hmm, how should i say? Different from the usual kind of seafood


And this is probably the landmark for Seoul city!
the temple in the middle of skyscrapers!!

DAY VIEW~

NIGHT VIEW~


omg~ i'm late!!!!
Need to go down to T1 to pick up Tom's sisters, Kimmy and Lucy!!
They will be here in Singapore for one month..

Time check: touching down in 1hr time and i haven even prepare yet..
*rush off*

English word: Thank you
Korean word: kamsa hamnida (kam sa mi dan)
