Last part of my Seoul trip! I am still missing Seoul so much! =(
Day 7: Seoul Station and MyeongDong
We wanted to find the bathhouse but we couldn't find it despite walking around 20 minutes! So we went to the shopping mall to satisfy our growling stomachs.
Foodcourt with a view:
Stan's gimbab set, nice!
My kimchi chigae! I love these kimchi soups! Super addictive.
With the help of a friendly staff in the Lotte supermart, we finally found the bathhouse!
You need to walk out from the back door of the Lotte supermart and you will be able to see it from afar!
Rates: 12,000won per person if you wanna enjoy the full facilities (including hot spring) for 12 hours.
Us in the uniforms prepared by the bath house =)
There are 5 storeys to this place. Freaking huge. No kidding.
Found this empty games room and we played the game featured on Running Man.
(FYI, I won two out of three games. =b)
Stan wanted to challenge the 86 degrees room but the steam came out when he opened the door!
And so he closed the door immediately without going in. There are a few kinds of rooms there, with different temperatures and different purposes.
I did this towel thing on my own! Learnt from the Koreans. Wahahahaha... Pro right?
How can we not eat anything in the bathhouse?!
Wanted to eat two eggs for 1,500 won but this ramen is only 3,000 won. So the choice is clear.
And this ramen is the best ramen I have eaten in my life! Noodles cooked to perfection, not too soft or soggy. Add in the rice cakes and EGG!!! Perfect~ (salivating, still)
We finished every bit of it. Yummy
We were at the bathhouse for about 3 hours, very empty in the day. Just as we were about to leave, a bunch of Chinese tourists ran into the bathhouse, shouting across the changing room for their comrades.
We left at the right time, clearly.
Back to shopping at the Lotte super mart! They sell everything, including Daiso stuff, facial stuff, Uniqlo clothes, shoes, chips, fresh produce, etc. Sort of like our Giant, except much nicer and cleaner!
Went back to hotel to deposit our shopping bags before heading out for dinner.
This BBQ place near our hotel looks pretty crowded and we were lucky to get a table.
The pork was soaked in soda water, hence very tender and sweet!
BBQ pork intestines, anyone? They should have this in Singapore! Super yummy when you cut it into small slices and barbecue till golden brown.
We had this super friendly Chinese exchange student working part-time at the restaurant to serve us. He was very very helpful and taught us the right way to appreciate Korean BBQ =)
The whole meal came up to 22,400 won for two of us (approx S$25). Cheap!!!
Last night in Seoul - Myeong Dong for last minute shopping!
Didn't manage to buy much but we saw this really cool juice store with a really cool concept.
Choose your own fruits, and decide how you want it done - smoothie, yoghurt or popsicle!
We chose banana, strawberry and kiwi to make into a smoothie. 160kcal and they even show you the nutrition levels!
I don't know whether we are lucky or suay.
Lucky because at least we gotta see sakura on our last night in Seoul. Unlucky because it's ONLY till the last night that we get to see sakura!
We sorted out everything in one hour and took another hour to pack it into our luggages. Damn shagged.......
Day 8: Sinchon and Yeouido
More 10,000 won bags at Sinchon before we head home. Issac sandwich for the last breakfast in Seoul.
Chicken galbi (BBQ chicken) for lunch!
Stan was having a cough, so we didn't have much BBQ stuff till the last day. Well, at least we tried the authentic stuff once.
Towards the end, you can order fried rice and this is the best part of the meal. All the good stuff in one!
Yay! More sakura today! And the weather was finally up at 16 degrees. Past few days were 8 or 9 degrees.
There is a place called Yeouido Park where they had this Sakura festival for just two days.
Nothing fantastic leh. I think the sakura flowers were in fuller bloom at Sinchon than at Yeouido.
One last cafe stop before we head to the airport.
We checked in 47kg worth of stuff and hand-carried another 10 kg I think. Crazy, I know!
Best part of the flight: free upgrade to Business Class for the flight from HK to Singapore!
Very very shuang. Now I know why rich people enjoy their flights so much. So much good food just for supper, what's not to like?
We wished the flight wouldn't end so soon. Even though it's a midnight flight, I kept my eyes wide open throughout the whole flight.
So that I can take in everything and try to remember this beautiful experience =D
I miss my good hair days in Korea. Every day, no styling required, guaranteed good hair day.
