I didn't think too much about food before I
came to Korea...
I only thought about shopping....
Since my boyfriend is always waiting for me
while I shop...
I bought 2 books for him to check out where we
should eat...
1st meal, we had tofu hot pot near our motel
this isn't a tourist area, food is very
cheap!!
5000 won for a tofu pot (forgot to take
pictures)
we paid 1000 won more for stone rice
I ordered gyoza tofu pot, there's 10+ gyoza,
sooo good!!!
My boyfriend ordered beef tofu pot
we went 2 more times, then I thought I already
took pics
haha.. I didn't!!!
At night we went to
Myeongdong for BBQ
many people ordered pork bone hot pot..
but we didn't have enough money... cause
haven't exchanged money yet...
we ordered what we thought is a dry BBQ
but it was actually wet BBQ! so much soup~~
18000 won
Sinchon/ Ewha University area
We were trying to find Beauty Credit, walked
so long... we were dead tired!!!
saw a place for food!!! so cheap!!!
4900 won for BimBimbop, 4900 won for a seafood
noodle + 1 plate of BBQ meat
the soup is soooo good!! Korea was super super
cold, I was so dehydrated I need soup!!
We had no luck finding Beauty Credit...
according to the map Beauty Credit should be
nearby...
we ask one of the salesperson in a shop and
she said it changed name to Etude House!!!
I almost exploded.... gees....
many people have never heard of Beauty
Credit... no wonder why it closed down...
Myeongdong Gyoza
8000 won per dish
there's only 4 dish to choose from!
Gyoza, Kim Chi noodles, Ground meat noodles,
soya milk noodles
We ate here 2x, food is pretty good!!
Even Koreans come here!!
There are 2 line ups, one upstairs, one
downstairs.
you sit down, order, pay then eat.. kind of
like a fast food restaurant
line up is super long! but because they only
have 4 dishes, basically you order and food comes right away
they are American sizes!!!
1st time we ordered 2 noodles + 1 gyoza...
that's too much!!!
We saw 2 Japanese girls sharing a bowl of
noodles... ha ha
2nd time we go, we ordered 1 noodle + 1
gyoza
the amount was just right!
土俗村 (I don't know the
English name for this place...)
tourist area....
the book says this is the place for Ginseng
Chicken soup
people who came are all tourists from Hong
Kong, Taiwan, China, Japan and etc....
all the workers can speak Mandarin and
Japanese
13,000 won for 1 Ginseng Chicken soup
20,000 won for 1 Silky Ginseng Chicken soup
Each order comes with 2 cups of Ginseng wine,
I poured 1 cup into the soup cause there wasn't any Ginseng taste... gees that
was too much!!!!
portion is big!! it's enough for 2 ppl!!
there's sticky rice in the chicken
Myeongdong
This restaurant is in Myeongdong, but not near
the beauty shops.. it's at one of the outer streets
Beauty Ginseng Chicken soup and Healthy
Ginseng Chicken Soup ( I forgot which is which... ) but nice names!!
names of the soup are pretty attractive!!!
I didn't pour any ginseng wine into the soup
this time!
but I discover Korea Ginseng Chicken Soup
really doesn't have a strong ginseng taste!!
Seafood BBQ (near Sinchon and Ewha University)
When I entered I already spotted 2 tables of
Chinese tourist... all from Hong Kong... holding the same book as us....
My boyfriend and I felt like piggies being
sold ha ha
it's not really clean inside... more like a
street eating place but inside....
We ordered a 44,000 won meal, this is the
medium portion
they have small, medium, large and extra large
portion
waiter will help you BBQ
he also knows a big English
menu:
Enoki mushroom with rice cake
BBQ scallop
BBQ shrimp
raw oysters
tofu soup
etc....
tiny clams soup
BBQ stove
we were quite satisfied with this meal!!
Snacks:
Many people were talking about how good the
banana milk and Market O Real Brownie is
I bought some right after I went to Lotte Mart
individual packing, thick, chewy, tastes
pretty good!!!
1000 won milk, there's banana, strawberry and
light
I like strawberry a lot better than the banana
(very artificial)
sweet spongy cookie
looks like the big round ones from chinese
bakery
very creative cake!!
saw there enormous seaweed in Lotte Mart....
it's about the size of 3-4 A4 sheets of paper
Strawberry
Korea strawberries are grown in ginseng field
super sweet!!! but also super expensive!!!
the box below costs 7000-9000 won in many
places!!
I found one for 5000 won
I saw many people buying boxes of Shin Ramen
to Hong Kong...
I ordered a few boxes for my customers earlier
they said the ones made in Korea tasted more
elastic then the ones they buy in HK or elsewhere....
I bought one to try
but I didn't take a picture... coz they all
look the same!!
