It’s been a while since I updated my Korea travel blog – partly due to my other life commitments, and partly because COVID struck and travel became uncertain. However, now that leisure travel is slowly gaining traction and Korea has opened its doors once again to international travellers, I’m happy to continue sharing information about … Continue reading Hasukyeong Gamasot Bibimbap
Korea has so many café and beverage chains that it has become a fun challenge for tourists to attempt ticking all of them off their checklist. I personally have a checklist to keep track of what I have tried before, but if it’s your first time in Korea, how do you know which ones are … Continue reading My Guide to Korea’s Café & Beverage Chains
I’m back with another review of a restaurant in Myeongdong! If you are wondering why I’m always talking about things to eat in Myeongdong, that’s because I always stay in this area during my Korea trips. It’s really convenient for tourists, + I have member’s discount & loyalty points for Skypark Myeongdong, so I might … Continue reading Onedang Gamjatang (Myeongdong 1)
Is it a coincidence that Innisfree Jeju house is right next to O’sulloc Tea Museum? Definitely not! For those who are familiar with the brand, you may know that green tea (be it green tea seed or green tea itself) is one of their core ingredients. It is little wonder then, that you also find … Continue reading O’sulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree Jeju House
The backstory of how I came to eat this in Anam: I was visiting Korea University in the winter of 2017, and it was possibly the coldest day of my trip. If I recall correctly, temperatures fell to about -10 to -13 degrees Celsius that day, and I was inadequately prepared (think thin ankle socks, no … Continue reading The Jincook (더진국): Gukbab
You might have heard of the prestigious Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) before, but what exactly is BIFF Square? I couldn’t really wrap my head around the idea of this being a tourist destination, and it took some searching from KTO to find out: Busan’s modern movie district was originally little more than a pair … Continue reading BIFF Square
When it comes to stuff like hunting down famous food places, I usually leave it to my friends and family to do it, because I’m not really the kind of person who will intentionally hunt down these places. However, when I saw this café in a Korea guide book, I knew I had to go. … Continue reading Florté Flower Cafe (플로르떼)
Food is a very subjective topic, but everyone knows that Singaporeans LOVE food. I even had someone from another country ask me if it’s true that Singaporeans are always on the hunt for good food (it is). Most people are familiar with Myeongdong – it’s the shopping paradise that almost every tourist will visit when … Continue reading My Best Places to Eat in Myeongdong
I was told that I had to try Lotteria in Korea. It’s like the equivalent of McDonalds and KFC, and it is BIG in Korea. So naturally, I assumed that it was a Korean fast food chain. I was wrong! Lotteria is a chain of fast food restaurants in East Asia that grew out of its first shop in Tokyo, Japan in September … Continue reading Lotteria: Fast Food Chain
I heard that this cafeé chain was very famous, but the first question that came to my mind was: “Who’s Miss Lee?” To be honest, I still don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. Miss Lee Café is easily spotted from far away, thanks to who I can only assume is Miss Lee, perched on a bench … Continue reading CAFÉ CHAIN: Miss Lee Café (Insadong)
