after the late night shopping yesterday, i only managed to get out of the comfy hotel bed near to 11am... LOL.
by the time we were finally out of hotel to start the day, it was time for lunch. wahahah.
for today's lunch, we decided to head to a pretty popular korean congee place - 味加本 - at myeongdong.
congee eateries are pretty common in korea and they look sumptious with their ingredients.
yummeh food fare
we ordered 2 congees and 1 samgyetang (ginseng chicken) for all of us.
the brocolli with prawn congee is surprisingly nicer than the abalone with mushroom one.
it must be the congee absorbing all the sweetness from the prawns. *slurp*
the ginseng chicken aint too bad but what we had at tonsokchon is much better. hehe.
after lunchie, we made our way to lotte mart.
getting lazier, we just cab down since its only 2 stations away and by cab is actually much cheaper.
i think we have enough of letting the boys have their dose of taking the subway....
lotte mart at seoul station is pretty big, not unlike the previous carrefour in suntec.
grocery shopping in foreign land is always exciting!
all the snacks look exotic and delicious mostly because we have no idea of the actual taste. LOL.
all our stash!
we got the market O brownie which was what most people would have bought from korea anyway.
and of cos seaweed, lotte pepero biscuits, different chips to try etc.
hubbi bought grapes and korean melons to try for the rest of the trip and they were indeed nice given they are freshly harvested in the country.
i even bought a 1.5litre sparkling makgeoli (rice wine) back.. hiaks.
the good thing about lotte mart is that they have tons of cardboard boxes available at the counters and DIY tapes for people to pack their loots in.
we packed our all those stuff to be brought back to sg in a box so that they can be easily checked in!
easy peasy!
it was cab back to the hotel to put our stash and then to the DFS shopping area of myeongdong where all the big department stores are - lotte, shilla & shinsegae. :)
then we slowly walked back to the main area of myeongdong which is near our hotel.
for dinner tonight, we decided to try chicken galbi!
there is this popular chain of chicken galbi (there are 3 in myeongdong alone!) so we decided to try there.
we were pretty unadventurous and only chose cheese to be added in apart from the rice and chicken (there are other ingredients to choose from like kimchi or octopus).
1 thing i love about seoul is you have people helping you to cook your food most of the time! ahh, lovely for lazy people. :)
chicken galbiiiiiiii!
abit like paella!
myeondong during the weekend is good - bustling with activities.
they boys stayed out later today till 10+pm (hotel proximity is a good reason to do so)...
apart from the 1.5 litre bottle, i got myself a small can for supper tonight.
so good to much on crackers and gulp down makgeoli while watching HBO with the husband at night. :D
this drink is sold in SG right?
its berry nice! at least to me.
i wonder chips with coke is worse or this?
tomorrow: we are heading to lotte world finally....
lesser crowd on a monday hopefully.
