OmNomNom in Seoul Part 1

Hello guys is time to back to the blog! This few days rotten at home enjoy my stress free life before the last semester begins. Yet feeling quite unwell lately due to fever, sore throat, cough..everything come at the same time la! So rest at home is the best choice. :-)

Since I'm so free I shouldn't neglect my blog if not soon I will become lazier and abandoned this site already! *sit up and blog*

Has been a very long long time didn't visit to the newly open restaurant in Penang so don't really know what's the new trend in the town. New cafes and restaurants in Penang these days are growing like mushroom. Just been away for two months and everything changes. 

Since I have been away from Penang and living in Seoul for 5 weeks, so might as well blog about food in Korea. Anyway 4 weeks is over, I don't really remember the name exactly for the food that I posted below. Anyway just enjoy the pretty pictures will do la, you will realized food in Korea is not just about Kimchi! ^^

Part 1 of food post would be most likely around Hoegi Subway Station. Hoegi is somewhere near to Kyung Hee University, since we studying here so most of the time exploring food around. These are some of the food that taken throughout that month. 

*****

NaengMyeon. The one and only NaengMyeon that I took in Korea. I still can't accept taking the noodles in cold soup and it is so chewy but this shop is frequently visited by the locals. Always has long queue outside the shop. One bowl of this cost RM15.

Bibimbap from the same shop. In Korea, if there is other options, I will try to avoid bibimbap and NaengMyeon because both are not my liking! Lol..

The 便当 chicken mayo bento! Is the cheapest meal around the area. This meal cost RM8. Haha..but this chicken mayo really nice..I guessed all of us miss this very much!

I love this! Very huge pork cutlet with cheese fillings! But..this picture isn't serve with cheese, if not mistaken, this is with pumpkin fillings. I prefer cheese as it is salty compared to pumpkin tasted sweet. One plate of this cost RM15 but it is very full then. 

Our university cafeteria food. Not really remember the price but food in cafeteria is relatively cheap. If not mistaken this one cost RM10.50. I was craving for traditional chinese soup so I ordered this. It serves with dumpling and ttuk aka rice cake!

Cafeteria food as well. This is two persons serving. I love this cz the food is hot when it served and is a little bit spicy and sweet. RM14 for two persons. 

Spicy pork with rice. Craving for soup again. Lol..and the korean yogurt *on the top right* aka vitagen is what we called! Some people will have constipation when they travel overseas, and if you are in Korea, I suggest you to buy korean yogurt and I assure it may help you out in constipation cz I experienced it myself! Lol..

Toppoki aka spicy rice cake in Korea. One of my favourite dish in Korea. The one selling in MyeongDong is much nicer compared to cafeteria. One of the cheapest food in cafeteria. This meal only cost RM4.50.

Ice Cream ice cream! Snacks that we keep in the hostel fridge to fix the crave when we watch drama. Haha..

Extremely spicy instant noodle. I tried that and never ever pour the whole packet of chili oil into it. Otherwise you will end up with diarrhea! Lol..basically it tasted only spicy and nothing else! 

Ahh! One of my favourite food in Seoul! Oreo Yogurt from The Wayo! The mixture of Oreo and yogurt is the best as oreo is sweet and yogurt is sour, best still when I eat, I can bite the crunch of Oreo cookies in every bites! Heavenly good la this yogurt! This is cheap though, RM4.50 each! I want more! 

Another favourite restaurant of mine. What I missed the most is the steam egg! How can you get this full pot of steam egg yet so fluffy in Malaysia? Apparently, those steam egg that selling in local Korean restaurant, they are very dry and tasted like it burned. ==" The side dishes are very nice as well..I love the dried cuttlefish, fish cake and soup! Yumm...

OMG! I miss this! RM30 buffet samgyeopsal and eat-all-you-can enoki mushroom! I'm a mushroom lover so I can really die for this! Really miss this la..:-(

Steam pork! This is very cheap and delicious as well. The meal cost RM15 only. :-)

Walked into this restaurant randomly without knowing the food delicious or expensive. Unexpectedly, the food turns up great. Although the price is quite costly but we certainly miss this food. It is actually duck meat but..it tasted like german sausages! Haha..one plate of this cost RM45! 

Fried spicy octopus from the same shop! Is very spicy but you just can't stop taking it! Almost the same price like the duck meat. 

Pizza from Mr. Pizza! The salad bar from Mr. Pizza comes with lots of variety and you can find everything here including jelly, cookies, yogurt, many different flavours of potatoes, crabmeat and so on so forth! Unlike our salad bar in Malaysia. >< 

Basically I love Mr. Pizza and Pizza Hut in Korea but the portion for Mr. Pizza is much smaller than Pizza Hut. If you ask me, I would prefer Pizza in Korea than McD and KFC. But..Mr. Pizza and Pizza Hut is very expensive. One meal would cost you RM30 + per person only for a few slices. 

Small lobster pizza. 

Last but not least! 安东鸡！I have no idea what is this called in English but it tasted like food that we could get from authentic Chinese restaurant in Taiwan or China..because they have dried chili padi so the spicyness makes it more flavourful! 

They have two types of glass noodles..after it absorb the soup, it is so so nice! They have the outlet in MyeongDong as well but I heard that usually restaurant branches open in MyeongDong are usually more expensive or same price with smaller portion. ><

That's the end for the food sharing near to my uni area..upcoming post I will bring you to Gangnam, Ewha, MyeongDong and so on  in Seoul! Stay tuned and I miss you guys! 

Have a great weekend ahead! 

Second last day in Kyung Hee..Mixed feelings!

My second last day staying in this dorm and tomorrow will be my last class before the program end. So sad over it..it ends too fast.

Mixed feelings I have now. Sad because I dislike the feeling of saying goodbye to friends. Nervous because tomorrow will be closing ceremony and something going on tomorrow. Not gonna tell yet cz don't want to have any pressure for myself. I will just enjoy to give my best. *Is not about the matter that I posted in Instagram, it is something even serious than that* Haha..

Thing that I'm grateful about
1. Friends
Appreciate knowing friends from different countries. You guys are really amazing and so fun to mixed with. Love every single one of you! If you happen to be in Malaysia, contact me through Facebook ya..:-)

2. Professor Oliver William
Haha..I feel grateful for his patience to bare with us. Sometimes we have to admit that the video playing is too boring and all of us were looking at our phone but he is being so patience like nothing happen and won't be angry or anything. May be he expected this to be happen every year la. Lol..is his fifth or sixth time teaching for Kyung Hee Summer Program.

3. My dorm
Although when I arrived I feel slightly uneasy about it but after 4 weeks, I start to love here day by day. Every night sleep soundly..very comfortable! Aww..tonight will be my second last night here. :-(

4. Food 
Ahh..I love korean food so much. Don't think every food here is kimchi and samgyeopsal *pork barbeque*..they have variety of food here, so those who say dislike korean food and choose not to come because you think every meal is kimchi then I hope after you read this, I can changed your perception towards here. Haha..
Food here is too awesome la! Every night different food yet we still can't finish exploring!
Food which is not my favour: Naengmyeong (cold noodles), Bibimbap (vegetables mixed with rice)
Food which I favour: Fried chicken, cake, dessert, everything about green tea, patbingsu (red bean and green tea ice), oreo frozen yogurt, popcorn, samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), samgyeopsal, spicy sliced pork, and many others that I couldn't named it but it will always be in my mind.

Army Stew

Traditional Red Bean Patbingsoo! This is a bomb! 

Spicy pork sliced and steam egg

Oreo Frozen Yogurt! This is super nice and RM5 only! 

Buffet Samgyeopsal

This is nice as well! Boiled pork they called..I don't know..lol!

Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae

Looks tempting right?! Want to change your travel plan to Korea ah? Haha..I see if I'm "hardworking" enough I will go back compile all the food pictures that I have here then share it with you guys..haha!

5. Walk everyday
In Penang, I have car so needless to walk but when I'm here, we need to walk all the time even if it is raining heavily and go everywhere by subway! I will miss subway here as well!

Shopping heaven in Ehwa

6. Cosmetics
Cosmetics here is cheap! Some products that I don't even know is also existing here. Lol..I have one sample from Too Cool For School which is get ready dual primer for pores, I don't know what it is for. Lol..and don't doubt about Korean cosmetics, you can get the cosmetics with cheap price which give you the results like those Western brands. So, what are you waiting for, come here shop for cosmetics la! Lol..

And many more I would say.

I will miss here! Hope I can bring my parents and siblings here one day to let them experience what the locals is doing instead of tour around like a tourist! Any of my friends who would like to visit to Korea feel free to ask me details about here. I would be glad to help! :-) But I may not know everything la..Haha..

Btw I will still be staying here until next week la..haha!
