Try the special subway!!

Few days ago, something made my day so special!

It was all because I got on the special subway without any purpose!We call it 'Larva subway' because it is decorated with Larva.

I am sure you you have no idea about WTH is Larva, So I prepared a video haha!!!

So, basically, the Larva subway is decorated with larva image :D The subway is only at line2 (as I introduced before, there are 10 subway lines in Korea) 

If you would like to take the Larva subway, please take a look at the time schedule.

Welcome to Coffee Shop paradise

Korea Is coffee shop paradise, I would say.

There are so many coffee shop brands... Honestly, it is so annoying because you need to bring so many point cards since you will never know which coffee shop you will be next time... :'(

If I was in Canada and looking for coffee shop around, it must be either Starbuck or Timhortons... which means I don't need to bring point card with me since Starbucks lets you collect starts with my app and Timhortons doesn't give you point :p 

But since their interior is really good, I shouldn't complain.. :) Also, I am  writing this post at cafe as well loll

First Coffee shop which I would like to introduce is 'Blank' in ShinCheon. 

Personally, I LOVE their interior... :D 

because the interior makes me feel calm... also, the price of Americano relatively cheaper than other coffee shop.  

Next is O'sulloc. 

To be honest, it is not a coffee shop, it is tea shop. There are so many kinds of tea. So, if you are sick of coffee, try this place. 

 

I am writing this post at O'sulloc at Gangnam (yeah, you are right, that Gangnam from Gangnam Style). But since this Tea shop is Franchise you can find it anywhere in Korea... (I believe... at least I know one at Myeon Dong) 

Well.. there are so many other Coffee shop.. but honestly, I don't know what makes one different from the others.. so I wouldn't mention them on this post..  :'(

One of the best Korean foods! "Sam-Gyeop-Sal."

If you are not Muslim or Vegetarian... 

or have some other reasons that you cannot eat pork... 

You SHOULD.. wait.. let me correct myself.. 

you MUST!!! try Sam-Gyeop-Sal!!

Sam-Gyeop-Sal is basically Pork belly but it is thicker than bacon. 

I am 26 years old and I haven't seen any Korean who does not LOVE Sam-Gyeop-Sal. 

Picture above is from yesterday. 

The name of store was 'Palsack Sam-Gyeop-Sal' 

which means Sam-Gyeop-Sal in eight colours. 

Basically they will serve you 8 kinds of Sam-Gyeop-Sal which are Curry, Go-Chu-Jang, herbed and... 5 others. (honestly, I cannot remember all of them haha :D) So, in the other words, they will serve you 600g of Palsack Sam-Gyeop-Sal.

with Seafood Dan-Jang soup (Korean style Miso soup). 

*don't forget soju when you are ordering Sam-Gyeop-Sal it is the best alcohol you can have when you are eating Sam-Gyeop-Sal!! 

Personally, my favourite was Curry Sam-Gyeop-Sal but my friend chose Herbed Sam-Gyeop-Sal. 

Palsack Sam-Gyeop-Sal set was 30,000 Won which is approximately $30 USD. I should tell you that it sounds like that it is a bit expensive but actually it is not. 

If you go to Ma-po Gal-mae-gi, which is also famous grilled meat restaurant, you can have Sam-Gyeop-Sal for 7,500/150g. So, basically it is same!! 

I will add map of the restaurant which I visited yesterday for people who wants to visit :)
