We changed our bnb and decided to try another which was just across the road from the station. Behind the apartment was a restaurant which served yummy budae jjigae! We really wanted to try this after looking at so many tempting videos on social media and this proved to be the right choice for 2 hungry people!
That was our last night in Seoul with Kyung Eun! Shared a cab back after because we talked so much and so late into the night that there was no more public transport operating anymore.
Korean Army Stew - budae jjigae! 2 thumbs up!
After lunch, we headed to Myeongdong in search of more food and potential gifts to buy back. Didn't find any gifts we liked but definitely found a lot of food! Snacked and walked so much that day.
For dinner, we headed back to Bukchon Hanok Village in search of this famous ginseng chicken restaurant that we couldn't find the first time we went to Gyeongbokgong palace.
Ginseng chicken soup from Tosokchon. Baby Eeyore eyeing the tasty hot soup!
The next day, we weren't sure what we wanted to do so we decided to visit the Namsan tower!
Trekked uphill to the Namsan Cable Car station. Was pretty fun I must say - got to work for what we want!
Spent a lot of time here because we didn't have anywhere else we wanted to go. We queued to go up the tower with 2 little children in front of us. We just couldn't help but be amazed at how cute they looked in puffy winter clothes, never get to see this in Singapore!
View from the top!
At night, we were out of ideas of where to eat - mostly because all the places we opted for were either closed or had moved, so we picked this random western restaurant that had a decent number of eaters. (Singaporean mentality - got many people means good)
Seafood marinara from dunno-whats-this-place-called... I thought it was really delicious, was cooked perfectly al dente!
After dinner, we had gongcha. Gongcha in Korea is probably more popular than in Singapore, they have huge seating areas in their cafés! Their drinks are not cheap though - twice the price of Singapore's.
After chilling and using free wifi at the gongcha cafe, we met Kyung Eun and went for drinks.
It was our last night in Korea and of course we couldn't miss out Chimaek - chicken and beer! I really wanted to do a My Love from Another Star scene where Cheon Songyi would order chimaek and chill at home but it was not to be. We still had the real deal at the bar itself! Tried some beer but I had two sips and that was it, too disgusted with the bitter taste to continue. We ordered a mix of spicy and original chicken. The spicy was a lot nicer - though I was suffering from my burning tongue.
The next day, we ended our last day in Seoul at Apgujeong with lots of snow fall with big snow flakes! Having snowball fights with Sam was pretty fun (and brutal because we both no give chance!). We were the only two kukus running around the streets without an umbrella, perspiring inside our thick layers and getting drenched outside once the snow melted. But it was a really fun way to end our stay in Korea, I wouldn't have exchanged that moment for anything else!
Can't believe that it's been 6 months since we left Korea! Miss the snow, skiing and of course the food! Can't wait for our next trip, whenever that will be!
