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.

IMG_2376

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..

IMG_2375

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!

IMG_2526

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. 

IMG_2530

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!

IMG_2559

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. 

IMG_3177

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..

IMG_3191

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.

IMG_2867

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

IMG_2539

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! 

IMG_2562

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! 

IMG_3363

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...

IMG_3358

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..:-(

IMG_3372

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

IMG_3379

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! 

IMG_3464

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. 

IMG_3463

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. 

IMG_3272

Small lobster pizza. 

IMG_3273

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!

Korea Travel Book: Kyung Hee University Summer Program 2013 Opening Ceremony

Hello all..today is my second day of class and the orientation has over for two days already. Now only I got time to blog about it cz two days before was doing the templete and layout of my blog. Sigh till then still haven't settled yet..sometimes I really doubt is that worth sitting in front of the lappie in hostel to deal with my blog instead of having a nice nap or exploring around this area. 

My blog has been creating so much problems lately..make me lost my mood to update it..I even asked my dear is that worth to do so like now sacrificing my sleeping time to update it? *If not I should be sleeping right now, almost 12am already in Korea* And now my blog templete for HTML isn't the same like the older version, I don't know what's happening. I really lost motivation of updating as the blog layout is not something that I wanted and I don't have the time sitting all day long in front of my lappie just to deal with this matter. And the problem that appeared makes my traffic turns up so little nowadays..so I really feel heartbroken and sometimes just try to ignore about it. Someone may have just say me stupid why wasting so much time doing this when I am going for Summer Program, I sometimes doubt about it too. Darling told me is ok if I leave my blog for a month to focus on the Summer Program first, and if someone loves it, they will visit again once I updated after I got back to Penang. 

I don't know what I am thinking now. I just do what I can at this moment. Ignore those that makes me feel upset like the templete and traffic. See how it goes la..

*******************************************

Okay back to my orientation topic!
Monday is the day for Kyung Hee Summer Program Opening Ceremony and some orientation programs. 
We were on our way to the Crown Hall for the ceremony.
This is the way I walk everyday to my class..yep, is like USM slope or even steeper. I think I will slim down after a month! Haha..

Very steep..breath heavily as we walk up the slope!

May be a high school or what nearby to the university? Anyway I am not staying around that area of campus so didn't really go ask about this place. :-)

The program that I am joining! I am taking United Nations Global Compact for this Summer Program. Is kind of a new course to me hence I love it..something different compare to the subject that I usually took back in USM. Besides, the professor is one of the board member of United Nations Global Compact if I'm not mistaken. Learnt a lot from him and my English listening skills certainly improving as he is a Mat Salleh! Lol..

Seriously participating in this Summer Program is such a eye-opening experience to me. No wonder seniors and friends always persuade me to go for exchange..haha..indeed it is true..if you have the chance to go for exchange, you should go for it! Is too late for me to exchange that is why I seek information about Summer Program offered by some of the foreign universities in International Office USM. There are plenty of courses offered from Japan or even Sweden, but sadly my exam schedule clashed so I left only this option!

Anyway I still feeling grateful to be able to have a overseas study experience. :-) 
Peeps, don't missed it out if you are still given the chance!
