정수가성

Sorry for lack of updates.  I was in Busan for the weekend and I didn't bring my laptop. :(

Here's is a place in Gwong-ju (spelling? ;_;) Stopped by here on my way to Busan.

Lunch at Yonsei Cafeteria

Chicken Omelette Rice

The omelette is under all the cheese; Koreans love their cheese

[myseoulabroad]

Korean Restaurant ; no name again :(

[myseoulabroad]

Pepero and Baskin Robins

Bonus!

[myseoulabroad]

A place in Insadong; I keep forgetting to take pictures of the place...

[myseoulabroad]

Korean McDonald's tastes like American McDonald's...

I didn't try the bulgogi burger so yeah; the nuggets and fries taste the same

Chicken Curry Gratin

Had lunch at the school's food court.

It's like baked pasta but instead of pasta its rice.  Tastes like chicken curry so yeah... The Koreans love their cheese!  Only 3,200 won and very filling.

Today is Briquet Rib~ In Sinchon

I'm tired so here you go.

Curry Place (no name again ;;)

so I forgot to take the pic of the place again; its by the Yonsei dorms though

I order the pork curry with medium spiciness.

Comes with soup and sides.

Food: 3.75/5

The pork curry tasted good; similar to other curry places.  Medium spiciness is perfect as it doesn't get strong until you eat a lot of it.  Maybe could have more rice.  The soup however tasted like soy sauce which I didn't enjoy (maybe it was soy sauce based).

It was a bit pricey for its portion size (7,500 won) but it was really filling.

Chicken in a Cup

Some street food here.

This time is chicken in a cup from a vendor in Sinchon.

Comes with fried chicken, ddukbokki, and tater tots.  Glazed in a sweet/spicy sauce.  It was okay, there was too much dough and not enough chicken imo.

Mandu Place In Hongdae

So for those that don't know, mandu is the Korean version of dumplings.  the place I went to was actually the same one that eatyourkimchi (EYK) went to on their WANK to the Coffee Prince shop.

(I FORGOT A PIC OF THE PLACE ITSELF OMG ~_~)

I got 3 generous pieces of deep fried mandu, some daikon, and soy sauce.

Food: 3.75/5

The mandu itself is stuffed with filling; veggies, meat, noodles, etc. but I didn't really like it.  Maybe being deep-fried took away some of its flavor.

(I'm gonna stop rating the preserved stuff [side dishes/banchan] as well as its usually standard unless it tastes like crap or they have weird sides)

Other Notes: It was only 3,500 won so its a good bang for your buck.  They are really, really, filling so don't over order.

Hello Kitty Cafe (In Hongdae)

IT EXISTS!

I ordered a choco banana waffles. The waffles are supposed to be shaped like her face.

Food: 3/5 

4,000 won for this really tiny waffle :( Only 5 banana pieces, chocolate drizzles (more like drenched) and some whipped cream.  The waffle was good and fluffy but the chocolate was overpowering.  Banana was fresh but they gave so little pieces.

Other: Neko/Cat

GOD DAMN HELLO KITTY EVERYWHERE AMERGERD!

MEOW MEOW MEOW BITCH

[myseoulabroad]

sorry for the lack of updates/information Here's a quick one.

It tastes like those little Asian drinks but carbonated.

(Tastes like carbonated yakult; sounds weird but its actually good)

[myseoulabroad]

Stew place

another place somewhere in Sinchon; sorry guys I need to go back to this place cause I forgot to take a picture of the name of the restaurant.

So I don't exactly remember the name of this dish but it contains a lot of stuff.  Like 3/4 varieties of sausage, pepperoni, cabbage kimchi, noodles, etc.  The amount here was for 3 people.  Also your usual side dishes.

Food: 4/5

There is a lot of stuff in this stew, like you will be stuffed by the end.  Plentiful amounts of sausage, kimchi, very large chunks of tofu, ok amounts of noodles. Surprisingly,it tasted more sour than spicy.  Very good meal for about 7,500 won.

pork place (My korean isn't good enough yet)

So this place is located in Myeong-dong which is one of the biggest shopping districts in Seoul. (It's the one in the yellow board; 3F)

Below is the pork cutlet (6,000 won); it comes with a salad, dipping sauce, miso soup, rice, daikon radish, and mustard?(tastes like wasabi though)

This is the pork and fish cutlet; contains the same items as above but with fried fish pieces and tartar sauce.

Food: 4/5

I had the pork cutlet combo and the pork itself just tasted like fried meat (lol).  The sauce they gave you to dip it in tastes kinda like A1 steak sauce or worcestershire sauce.  Daikon is your run of the mill radish and the mustard is extremely spicy (like wasabi burn but stronger).  Miso soup is standard.  The salad however was weird.  The dressing they used was overly sweet (for my friends) but I liked it.  So if you don't like sweets then the salad probably isn't for you.  Also, rice.

Service: 4/5? I'm gonna stop doing reviews of the service unless I encounter something really bad or really good cause Korean service blows Asian-American service out of the water.  Everyone is quick and attentive; very nice and helpful even if you don't know Korean.

Price: 4.5/5

Huge portions for about only $6. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants pork cutlets.  They also over soba noodles but I didn't get to try them. :(

[myseoulabroad]

Breakfast as Paris Baguette.  Similar to the one back in the states; the hot dog buns are slightly different (Koreans love their cheese and mayo); the egg tart was sad :(

No pics because omnomnomnom
