They are famous for their waffles but we had Honey Butter Baguette Ball as we are too full for waffles though. Their drinks taste really gooooood!



Address: Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea 
서울 마포구 서교동 345-14호 2층

WOAH, I think Korea have all the nice food, which allows me to gain 2kg at least when i'm back to Singapore.
If you are able to go in a group of 4 it will be better as all the servings are more for 4 people. 
Although my friend and i manage to finish everything up every time. 
Is just way too good! 

Ji Ri San

Address: 84-2 Gwanhun-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea

This is in Insadong, you will definitely hop there for some shopping.
If you would like to try a full course korean meal, you can hop into this shop.
Well, i'm not a fan for traditional korea meal though. 
HAHA! 
But if you want to try, this will be the recommended one after reading much reviews.



 味加本 (Wei Jia Ben) Korean Porridge
Station: Myeong Dong
Address: 2-2 Myeongdong 2(i)-ga, Jung-gu, 서울특별시 South Korea
Directly opposite Seoul Royal Hotel, Second Level.

Porridge? Yup, this porridge is indeed delicious!
They have wide varieties of porridge for you to choose.
So i ate Abalone porridge as this is one of the recommendation from my friends too.
Price: 20,000KRW (The most expensive in the menu)
You can try others which is cheaper too!

KOREAN BBQ

Something that you must eat in Korea, is their BBQ. 
Definitely different from Singapore and of course it is much better! 
We just hop into any korea bbq store and it taste equally delicious!
A MUST EAT when you are in Korea.


ICE CREAMS & DESSERTS

"The best way to eat ice-cream is during winter time." Don't you think so?

Honey Comb
There is a lot of ice cream store around and i found this little store called Honey Comb somewhere in the corner at Hongdae. If you happen to saw this store, try their AFFOGATO (Coffee) Ice cream. This is the nicest coffee ice cream i ever had!!!! I ate this like more than 3 times when i'm in korea. Oh man, craving for this right nowwwwwww…
I'm sorry i didn't get the exact address, but if you happen to saw this, TRY IT!


Station: Myeong Dong, 
Directions: Directly opposite Seoul Royal Hotel

Tried their MAGIC LAMP and this is another real gooooooood ice cream in Korea. I don't know what exactly is in it, but it just taste delicious. Must Try!!!! 



J Shaped Corn Cone Korean Ice Cream, #Jipangi

It is just a plain ice cream but the corn cone makes it special. 
Isn't we sweet to share our ice-cream this way?


SULBING

Address: 팀1994 Donggyo-dong Mapo-gu, Seoul ( 2ND FLOOR )

NOMZNOMZ. 


HOTSPRING/ Jjimjilbangs/ Spa/ Bathhouse 


Station: Hongik University or Hapjeong Station

A very relax and chill place to sleep and have your hot bath.
If there is one in Singapore which is this cheap too, i does not need to think of where to hang out anymore.

THEME PARKS

Station: Jamsil Station
Price: 46,000 KRW



Address: 199 Everland-ro, Pogog-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

If i were to choose 1 Themepark, EVERLAND MUST BE the one. Everland is so much bigger and the rides are so much more exciting and heartbeating. T-Express Wooden roller coaster with almost 90degree drop with the speed was absolutely worth the wait.

MARKETS

Station: Jongno 5(o)-ga Station and exit 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 

Go with an empty stomach!
You can find wide varieties of food there and everything taste so goooooood!
