18 April 2017 - 해장국 for dinner

Dinner at 일등식당.
 



Only one item on the menu cos they specialised in 해장국 Haejangguk 6000won.

This was so heavenly good!!
I was very lucky to get the last bowl.
I think they are opened very early in the morning till 9pm.
I reached here around 8.20pm and another girl reached 10mins later than me.
The last bowl was sold to me >_<
미안해...
Nearest station is Mapo-gu Office Station, exit 5.
Took less than 5mins walk.

18 April 2017- Lobster roll!!



I reached here around 3pm. 

Either this...
Or this. 

랍스터 롤 Lobster roll Yummmmmmmzzzzzzz

I personally think this was pretty good and affordable.
In fact, I preferred this to
 Lobster Shack

You can check out bnbheroblog.com for the location in Myeongdong.

18 April 2017 - A must for me

Veggies!!!
Breakfast in the apartment before I head out for some shoppings ^^
If you have been following my blog, you would have know that I will always cook fried rice using spam, kimchi, perilla leaves and roasted seaweed whenever I am back in Korea. It feels like something is missing if I dun eat this hahahahaha

17 April 2017 - My all time favorite things to do back home

Plum drink.

17 April 2017 - Disappointing rainbow crepe cake

Passed by Billy Angel after a hair treatment in Hapjeong and decided to have cake for supper.
So hard to decide when I have a soft spot for cakes...
Finally, I settled for this rainbow crepe cake ^^
BUTttttt it was so disappointing 
ㅠㅠ
I thought there was some unnatural syrup taste.....
Arghh....it just practically killed my appetitte and I could not finish it.
The rose drink was nice though.

17 April 2017 - Spicy ramyeon in ttukbaegi ^^

Made my way to this ramyeon place, 라면땡기는날 after giving thanks at Jogyesa.
At last, I came here after passing by so many times...

I chose the first one, Jampong Ramyeon and its spicy.
When Koreans say its spicy, its really spicy.

I simply love having my meals in this kind of eatery ^^
Oooooooooooo....I love my food served in these black stone pot, ttukbaegi 뚝배기 ^^
It came bubbling hot!!
Btw, I added a slice of cheese(500won) and an egg (500won) to my ramyeon (4000won)^^
By the time I finished taking pictures, all the bubbling effects have settled down ㅋㅋㅋ
If you think that my noodles have turned soggy by the time I ate, you are wrong!
I dun like soggy noodles and I felt the noodles was just starting to get cooked ^^
Yummmy!
Andddddddd spicy!!
It will take about 5-10 mins walk (minus all the window shopping) to reach 라면땡기는날.

17 April 2017 - Back in Hongdae

Yesss.....Back in Hongdae once again lol
I feel sooooo at home the moment I stepped into this airbnb apartment.


There is a storeroom but no wardrobe.
I thought I would have a problem without a wardrobe but everything turns out well :)
This place is quite spacious compared to those that I have stayed before.
The storeroom.
That was a sofa bed I think. 

Well equipped.


I love my stay in this apartment alot because it was very comfortable and the location was very good for me.
The host was very nice, helpful and responsive.
Everything was very good until the last few days of my stay.
I came back to the apartment one night and saw water droplets at the ceiling above the fridge and inside the storeroom. There was only a few droplets but I informed the host right away.  My host apologised to me and told me she would come down to the apartment the very next day. Meanwhile, she requested me to let her know the situation again the next morning.  She also assured me if the leaks get worse, she will get me another place to stay. That very night, I realised I could not access to the wi-fi & TV but I did not inform my host as I did not think much about it.  I woke up the next morning and saw a big patch of dampness at the ceiling as shown above.  It was dripping more badly in the storeroom and I informed the host.  She was very embarrassed and I told her that she can come to the apartment anytime she wanted without my presence. 
And so my host came without my presence which I was absolutely fine with it. She went to the upper floor and found out that the water pipes at the upper floor broke and were repaired. Hence, the leaking stopped.  However, the repairman were still working on the internet and TV lines. I need not be present in the apartment as the repair took place outside the building. Sooooo...no wi-fi and TV for me for the rest of my 3 days stay. In a way, I thought it was good that I got to rest early.  If not, I would be watching drama till late nights hahaha My host was very apologetic to me but I think nobody wanted this to happen.  She has done her best to respond to the problems unlike the host in Busan who never respond at all *roll eyes
I assured my host several times that I really like her apartment and she requested me not to leave any good/bad reviews cos she was too embarrassed by what had happened. She wanted to treat me to a meal before I fly back to Singapore but I told her it was really ok. So she bought me a big box of strawberries and a souvenir. Omg...she really dun have to..
Under normal circumstances, I will never ever go back to the same apartment. Guess what, I booked her apartment again for my upcoming Autumn trip! That is how much I liked her apartment ^^
