161120 Shio Jap

on our daily walks around yongin, we discovered a new jap restaurant that sells homely food. it has menus with drawings instead of pictures, and only sells 3 main sets of food. it was recommended by JH also, so we decided to try it out - Shio~

some kind of green bean paste was given as a starter. pretty nice.

we ordered the sashimi cold served

and the curry hamburg

all of them comes with the salad and crab soup. and every single side dish is so yummy!!! there's a slight discount for lunch, so we would probably come back again to try out that 3rd set~!!

each set is around 11-14k, a little pricey but still worth it.

161119 Dessert 39

autumn hasn't yet ended!!! all the pretty maple falling..!!

there's a new guksu restaurant in the area so we decided to have a bowl while waiting for JH to pick us up for lunch. the mian xian is only 4k won, and the rice ball is 600 won. it's a pretty decent meal!

when JH came, he told us there was a big uniqlo sale so i decided to stock up on some innerwears. afterwards, we went to have udon at giheung (same place as the tofu jjige we had previously)

wanted to have red velvet, and we end up visiting dessert 39, which is a pretty famous cafe that's just around the corner!

it's supposed to sell desserts from 39 countries, hence the name. it is also said that eki loves the care so much she bought every single item here to eat. woah.

but of cos our stomach is not as vast... so we just got 2 cakes and drinks. that's the oreo cheese cake, the famous custard roll and red velvet cake. the drink i had was some coconut latte. it just sounded exotic so i had to try it.

would like to come back again to try out the rest of the stuff!

at home, i decided to try out the innisfree mask which i customised. you just select a base and 2 ingredients (which caters to your skin problems), then stir it together to apply. honestly it's a bit messy and inconvenient since you need to buy mixing and application brushes (i didn't, i just used chopsticks lol since i knew i probably wouldn't buy it again). the smell and after effect is pretty soothing though. but yeah, we looked like we rolled in some mud. lolol. it's also messy to clean off. haha.

161118 Hongdae

for breakfast today - dunkin!! somehow they gave free pepsi for their hot bread selection before 12pm if you use their app. not that pepsi goes well with it... and anyway there was a promotion for craftholic foot mat if you buy above 10,000 won, so we ordered an extra drink to top it off. hurhur.

stopped by the office for a while, then decided to visit hongdae for dinner. was walking all over the place to look for it, and passed by kiss the tiramisu so couldn't help but get one.

last time i visited hongdae with mong, she brought me to a very nice place to eat - the prawn ganjjang! i missed that, as well as the choco cafe that pion brought us to. so i'm revisiting for all these!! fortunately, there wasn't much queue, and there was actually a second place that seats more guests, so we got seated pretty fast.

my greedy mr k decided to order 3 sets of food............................ he says that since this place is famous and he's hungry, why not.........

so here's the best-selling prawn ganjjang set!

the salmon set

and finally the crab meat eggy set. there was no place to put any side dish so it just came as a single order.

i can only say, please only order 1 set each if you're coming next time... i was bursting already and had no space for chocolate after that..

BUT STILL WE WENT ANYWAY.

and we ordered the fondant and hot choco. hahahah. it was drizzling anyway so we decided to stay in a while.

but gosh i feel like i gained 2kg from all the eating today =_= still, it was all good food!!! still, good food can't be eaten in excess, really........

161117 Gangnam Waffle

there isn't a lot of western breakfast in korea actually, or in yongin, so when i was craving for some waffles, dear checked out some places and we headed to gangnam.

there was a foodcourt-like place there selling lots of delicious stuff! it's almost like a food republic korea version. there was also the crazy devil shake we had at hongdae previously.

but of cos since we came for waffles.. shall not be distracted.

here's our waffle! you can pick 2 types of cream to go with it. i don't like creams, so the matcha and vanilla scoops go to mr k and that choco chip ice cream is mineeeee. there's also an american top up at just 1k won (i think). i ordered hot yuzu since the weather is so collddddd.

we also visited the kakaoshop at exit 10, before getting home. there's a cafe on the top floor and look at the cute cupcakes! doesn't appeal to me though, too much cream hahah.

161115 Sushi Buffet

what's for lunch? JH suggested bulgogi, and we went for it.

just gotta love korean side dish.. and that steamed egg~!!

wheee, yummy.

and what's for dinner today? hahahahah. crazy sushi buffet in yongin!!! wasn't that hungry after the heavy lunch but since everyone wanted it and it's below 20k won, why not?

the sushis are not conveyor style, they are just displayed out and are in mini portions with big toppings!

there's a dessert section, but it's not inspiring.

and here starts our binge....

at least there's waffles~

/couch potato............

161114 Arrival in Korea

and.. i'm packing for korea again after less than a month in singapore...!! love my new travel covers from taobao~!! hehehe.

unfortunately i didn't get to see pokemon christmas being unveiled.. oh well.

this time i'm taking asiana, so it's a quick 5 hrs direct flight over. yeah~! once again, i got myself 3 seats to sleep soundly in, and wake up to breakfast..~ whee hee.

on arrival, my dear came and we had seaweed porridge for breakfast.

back at home, i'm seeing my new bed! yay!! finally can sleep on something soft!

dear also brought in a half-spoilt tv that is too big... the colors totally went haywire after a few movies later in the month.

at night, we had some nice tofu jjige.

161112 Orchard Xmas

went back to bugis to get the results of my test. everything's ok!
one big scanning at 5k to buy myself a peace of mind... in any case, comforting myself with some churros on the way back. salted caramel topping~

sis dropped by and we decided to go orchard to see the christmas stuff.

pastry christmas at centrepoint!

the mermaid display is pretty nice!

saw a lot of victoria's secret stuff hurhur... inspiration!

while walking somerset, also spotted kiss the tiramisu, which originated from korea.

the whole orchard street was also blocked off for a street festival. and there's a santa claus!

spotted dragon's breath here as well.. whoa.

and now it's night time christmas lighting!

last pic before we leave for home~
