Most people visit Osulloc Tea House for their green tea desserts , but I highly recommend trying out their teas first to fully appreciate the tea flavours. The premium tea leaves that they use really shine through, and it would be a deep pity not to give it the recognition it deserves. Continue reading [CLOSED] Osulloc Tea House (Myeongdong)
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)
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
It seems that most people know about army stew when you talk about Korean cuisine, and so we knew we couldn’t go without at least having one meal of army stew on any of our trips to Korea. For the unacquainted, Budae-jjigae (부대찌개; literally “army base stew”) or sausage stew is a type of jjigae (stew), made with ham, sausage, spam, baked beans, kimchi and gochujang.[ The dish … Continue reading Myeongdong 56th: Army Stew in Seoul
I first knew of this place thanks to a friend who did her homework on where to eat in the area. I wasn’t particularly excited by the prospect of eating dumplings, but I was in Korea to try new stuff, so why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m sure glad we went ahead with this, because I liked … Continue reading Bukchon Son Mandu (Insadong & Myeongdong)
I got to enjoy this show on my first trip to Korea, thanks to the fact that we had booked a group tour with Chan Brothers, and you know that good tour agencies tend to include activities and food that you normally wouldn’t do or eat on your own (unless you’re loaded or really have … Continue reading Nanta Show (Myeongdong)
If you have read my beauty blog (sorry for shameless plug HAHA), you may know that I am a big fan of Innisfree – partly because they do such a brilliant job with their branding & marketing, and also because I really like their lip products, heh. We actually heard about the Innisfree Green Café … Continue reading Innisfree Green Café
We went to LOTTE Department Store in Myeongdong to do some last-minute duty-free shopping, and found out that they have this section on the 1st floor called ‘Star Avenue’. I guess it’s a way to entertain and attract K-pop fans to go to the duty free department store. Some quick research on the internet shows … Continue reading LOTTE Duty Free Star Avenue
UPDATE: This restaurant is permanently closed 😦 If you read travel guides, you’ll definitely know MiGaBon (미가본). However, did you know that on the 1st floor, right under MiGaBon, is another famous restaurant? I didn’t actually know until I found out that people queueing outside were, in fact, queueing for this seolnongtang restaurant, and not MiGaBon! (mindblown) … Continue reading [CLOSED] Sinseon Seolnongtang (Myeongdong)
We didn’t actually plan to eat here, but a) our Sinchon 9000 won buffet was nowhere to be found, and b) we wanted to eat KBBQ, because – well, because where else would we eat it, if not Korea? For the unacquainted, Kang Ho Dong is a very famous TV host and comedian in South … Continue reading Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong Restaurant (Myeongdong): Celebrity KBBQ
