This round I am flying with Singapore Airline as they are having promotion which is below SG$700 with 30kgs check-in luggage and it is morning flight reaching Seoul at around 4pm so can straight check-in to hotel/apartment.
 

Was quite disappointed with SQ in-flight meal don't taste good, I had chilli fish with rice
 
Actually, we wanted to have the 8 colors pork belly bbq for our first night dinner but the taxi send us to don't where and we are so hungry but nothing much to eat on that street saw this fried chicken restaurant thinking to just eat something as we are already very hungry. We are very happy cos the foods is very nice but don't ask me about the address or location cos we also don't where is it after the dinner we just take a taxi back to the apartment.
 
 This spicy fried chicken is very nice
 
 It was cold at night so we order this fishcake soup, quite big pot but not cheap 10,000won.
very nice and spicy.. very Shiok
 
This is what we had for our first night at Seoul
 
On the second day in Seoul, we went to this ginseng chicken soup restaurant near Auguk Station cos I missed their fried chicken salad but end up very sad to know that they had stopping selling that, so no choice we just order ginseng chicken soup for our brunch
 
 
 
 If you are not a big eater just order one ginseng chicken soup and share
 
 This is kimchi pancake not bad too but still prefer the fried chicken salad
 
Heard off many cafes at samcheongdong sell good waffles but it is not cheap we ordered the green tea waffles set come with two coffee cost us 23,000won. The waffles is really nice worth for a try if you are at that area.
 

 
Bring my friend to try this famous dumpling at Insandong 
 
 I still love the fried dumpling, this set cost 7000won
 
 This is kimchi dumpling a bit spicy
 
 This is pork dumpling
 
This is pork meat ball
 
 
Every time I come to Seoul will sure come to this restaurant near PJ Hotel, they serve set meal cost 6000won per pax
 
 The set meal come with side dishes, pork belly, steam egg and bean paste soup
 
 As ususal side dishes in korea is always free flow, you can ask for more if you like it
 
 This is the bean paste soup for you to pour on your rice and mix it with all veggie
 
 This pork belly is nice and tender
 
This is how it look after mixing the soup, veggie and rice, if you like spicy can add in chilli sauce too
 
There are many kiosk near subway station selling sandwich, it is cheap and nice



 
  It is not just fried egg but omelette
 
You can chose the sandwich to come with ham, cheese and egg it only cost 2500won
 
Finally found this 8 color pork belly restaurant at Sinchon area, compare to Singapore the price in Seoul is much more cheaper. This set of 8 colors pork belly come with seafoods soup cost around 40-45,000won



 Veggie is free flow
 
 The set c/w this big pot of seafoods soup
 
 The staff there will help you to do all the cooking, so just sit back and enjoy your foods
 
The pork belly is fresh and cheaper compare to Singapore
 
 
Heard of Korean green bean pancake so wanted to give it a try but not my cup of tea
 



 Veggie rice roll
 
 Green bean pan cake, I found it a bit oily
 
 the green bean pancake not much taste
 
Korean Veggie rice roll
 
My friend wanted to have Xiao Long Bao and I wanted sweet sour pork, we ended up at this Chinese restaurant in Myeongdong



 The Xiao Long Bao taste so so only
 
This sweet sour pork taste different the one we had in Singapore but it taste good I like it
 
Was hungry at night and found this restaurant near the apartment still open they sell pork soup


heard that pork soup is a must try food in busan
 
Had brunch at this small eater near the apartment, I don't eat beef but end up accidently eat it cos never expect they will fried the rice with beef
 omelette fried rice,
for people that don't eat beef better ask when ordering cos Korean love beef

Seoul Trip 17-23 April 2014 - Foods

This is my second time visiting Seoul, this time I am flying with Asiana
 
Having fish with rice for the flight to Seoul
 
Only Asiana and Korean Airline serve bibimbap on flight that is the reason why Korean prefer to fly with this two airlines
 

We had pork cutlet for dinner on our first day at Seoul, the portion is big taste good at reasonable price, this restaurant is at Ewha Shopping Street
 


On the second day, we had ginseng chicken soup and fried chicken salad for brunch near Auguk station. I love the salad a lot but was disappointed that on my Nov trip to Seoul this restaurant had stopped to sell this salad.
 

We had bean paste soup for brunch on our third day, this restaurant only sell set meal which is only 6000won per pax, side dishes is free flow as usual, I like their pork belly and steam egg. During lunch time the restaurant will be pack of customers.
The restaurant was located at a small lane near PJ Hotel.
 


After visiting to Seoul Tower, we had early dinner at this restaurant which is located near the busstop to Seoul Tower and next to Daehan Cinema
 




This stall selling dumpling located at Insandong, they also sell cold noodle but I didn't try as I know that I wouldn't like it. The dumpling set is 6000won, I prefer the fried dumpling, the kimchi dumpling is abit spicy for me
 
I love Seoul street foods, BBq chicken with leek is one of the must eat, their leek is so fresh and sweet, chicken is so tender with the bbq sauce the taste is super
 
BBq pork belly is a must eat food when you visit korea
