20 Nov 2019 - Yummy lunch of 콩나물국밥

When it comes to Jeonju, many non locals may think of  Jeonju bibimbap. I did not think of it since it consists of beef and I do not take beef. So I asked the staff at the Tourists Information Centre (at the entrance of the Hanok Village) what is good. I was so attracted to 떡갈비 Tteokgalbi but it is usually made of beef. Actually, I was already planning for Jeonju Kongnamul-gukbap 콩나물국밥 (Bean sprout soup with rice) but wonder if there was any other food that I did not know of.  Thestaff introduced me to a place well known of 콩나물국밥. I searched for a while before locating it becos it seemed like there were a few restaurants with the same name. And when I thought I found the restaurant, it was either closed or empty inside. Hence, no map to the restaurant....
전주왱이 was the restaurant that I went for my lunch ^^
The Kimchi was awesome!
모주 Moju paired with Kongnamul Gukbap ^^
2000 won for a cup.
The 아줌마 showed me how to eat the egg.
It was served semi cooked(I think the egg white was almost cooked).
She crushed the seaweed into the egg.
I think she also told me to add some hot soup inside the egg mixture (or did I remembered wrongly lol)
The bowl I think was hot (not sure if I remembered wrongly).
Soo soooo good!
I drank up the egg mixture in one shot.
Super delicious!!!
I cannot forget the taste ^^
Pictures say a million words ^^
This was what I meant there were a few restaurants with the same name.
The restaurants with green and purple arrow were closed and empty.
The one with the red arrow was the one I went but all 3 have the same name.

20 Nov 2019 - Checking out Jeonju Hanok Village

Time to check out the Hanok Village.
귀여워 ^^
The streets were lined with Hanbok Shops!
I felt really tempted to rent one too.
I never felt tempted to rent one in Seoul but here, the feeling was just different.
Many people rented a hanbok and wearing a hanbok felt so right for this place. 
One of the popular eatery in the Hanok Village.
The place was not big and packed with people.
I quickly took a few pictures and left the eatery. 
Actually I was more into this kind of costumes cos it reminded me of  호텔 델루나 Hotel del Luna!
Not every streets were busy.
Lunch is up next.

20 Nov 2019 - From Jeonju Express Bus Terminal to Jeonju Hanok Village

I got out from 전주고속버스터미널 Jeonju Express Bus terminal and walked to the main road.
I could not recalled how I walked to the bus stop...미안...
I think there was a Tourist Information Centre becos I got this bus guide from there.
From the bus guide, it stated walked 8 mins from the Express Bus Terminal to the bus stop at KB Bank Geumam Branch for the buses to Jeonju Hanok Village. 
That was the bus stop.
The position I took this picture as shown by the red star on the bus guide.
I remembered crossing the main road via traffic lights to reach here.
There were quite a few buses to the Hanok Village.
I got on bus no. 725 at 11.55am.
It shows next stop is the Hanok Village.
Got off the bus at 12.08pm and saw PNB, the oldest bakery in Jeonju from across the road.

20 Nov 2019 - Day trip to Jeonju

좋은 아침 ^^
Able to see my destination?
The place I was heading to was Jeonju ^^
Rest stop ^^
I remembered there was an announcement on the monitor regarding the toilet break duration(in English) at this rest stop.
Great! 
Cos most of the time, it was only an verbal announcement in Korean from the bus driver. 
Noting down the bus no cos there were so many of them.
So many food and I had a hard time deciding :P
Back to basic ^^
Its been a long time since I ate this!
2 more mins to reach Jeonju ^^
