19 Nov 2018 - Beautiful sunset at 오리올바 Oriole bar

We made our way to the next stop, 오리올바 Oriole bar.
It took us about 30mins leisure walk from Noksapyeong Station, exit 2 to reach Oriole Bar.
Actually, the nearest subway station to Oriole Bar would be Sookmyung Women’s Univ Station, exit 2.
But I wanted Emily to have a bird's-eye view of those roof tops in Hannam-dong so we took the longer route.
It was the same route that I took when I visited Graddhyllan Cafe earlier this year but Oriole was further down.






I dunno why but I just enjoy looking at these roof tops. 
I wanted so badly to enjoy the sunset at Oriole, so I was very anxious to hurry our way there lol
Sunset wait for us!!
 
Finally we reached! 






2nd floor
2nd floor
3rd floor, roof top.




So glad we made it in time!
There were many roof tops cafes, bars, resturants in this area and you can enjoy beautiful sunset in any of these rooftop places.
Oriole Bar was popular in the social media back then (not sure about now).
Just wanna show you, Namsan Tower was behind us ^^
It was very cold when we were there.
There was nobody when we reached the rooftop, so we could take as many pictures as we wanted without people in the background.
Not long later, a few tourists came for the view too.
So glad we had finished taking our pictures of the beautiful sunset ^^

May peace and compassion be in everyone's heart.
Making our way all the way down instead of walking back to Noksapyeong Station.
Yes. It was quite steep.

They gave generous portions of meat inside the soup!!
The soup was really superb!!
Very very well worth the price.
Happy me ^^
Slurpppppppppppp
Less than 10mins walk from Honggik station, exit 3.
This eatery was a hidden gem known mainly to the locals.
One of the best pork rice soup I have even ate.

18 Nov 2018 - Back at 신천장어와 한우 for grilled eels


Back at 신천장어와 한우 for some grilled eels cos Emily loves eels.
재 brought me here during my Autumn 2017 trip.
I could not bring myself to eat the eels if they were killed right before my eyes so this place was better for me.
Self deceiving I know...
This was 50,380 won for 3 pieces.
Actually, this was not a lot.

We ordered 된장찌개 Doenjang-jjigae 2000 won.
BBQ must have 된장찌개 lol
We ordered to have them in 2 types of marinades, 양념 Yangnyeom (sweet spicy sauce) and lightly salted.




재 taught me to add the ginger slices to the wrap ^^

About 5 mins walk from Jamsilsaenae Station, exit 4
As usual, we wrapped the nite with a snack lol
This was from 홍컵 in Hongdae. 

18 Nov 2018 - Some random shots at Jamsil Lotte Dept

We went for some shopping at the Jamsil underground shopping mall and Lotte Shopping Mall to digest our food.
Below are just some random shots.
