We tried the seafood stew with clams, abalones and crabs. They also served us a plate of raw crab meat marinated with their homemade sauce. This was my first time trying raw crab meat and it did not taste as bad as I initially thought! (Imo better than the abalone porridge at the hotel, which was rather bland in comparison)

Hairtail fish is a popular dish at Jeju Island. We tried the dish in 2 different ways- fried (as pictured) and stewed. I preferred the fried fish because they went very well with their homemade sauce!

Love the handmade ice cream here! They serve two popular flavours: peanut and hallabong (Jeju orange) ice creams. I tried the hallabong ice cream which was very refreshing especially after our hike to Udo Peak. The owner was also very friendly and he even asked me about Singapore. 🍊🍦

Tried the half vanilla half chocolate ice cream at Lotte Sky Tower. The picture only shows the chocolate flavour. 😂🍦🍫

There are many street food at Myeongdong - the rose ice cream at Milky Bee is a must-try 🍦🌹

The tour guide helped us order Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) so that we could enjoy some chimaek at the hotel. She also recommended Terra beer to go with the KFC. This was not part of the itinerary but definitely a great add-on.

Chimaek is a play on the words “chicken” and “maek-ju” which means beer in Korean. We tried Korean fried chicken with some CASS beer. 🍗🍺

We had dinner at Myth Jokbal, a popular pig trotter restaurant at Hongdae. We ordered a plate of jokbal, along with some side dish like the fish roe rice.

We had dinner at a Pojangmacha and tried popular Korean street food like Pajeon (Korean pancakes) and Tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes). We also ordered some rice wine to go with our food. The ajuma was very friendly and gave us a bowl of mussels on the house.

We definitely had to try Jajangmyeon when we visited Chinatown at Incheon. There’s even a Jajangmyeon museum nearby.

Jajangmyeon is a famous Korean noodle dish topped with a thick sauce called chunjang (black bean paste). This restaurant served the noodles and the ingredients: sauce, meat etc. separately.

The name of this restaurant translates to Jin Ok-hwa Original Chicken Restaurant and it is located near Dongdeamun station. It serves Korean chicken soup- The whole chicken was immersed in a pot of hot soup and the waitress would later cut and serve the chicken to us. This is unlike the herbal chicken soup I usually have and the broth has a much lighter flavour.
