| A visit to the jimjilbang was part of my itinerary after arriving in Seoul - hoping that sauna and soaking in ginseng pool will prepare me for more walking but it was rainy and I was famished. So decided to skip that and head off to Lotte Mart, a food & snacks haven! |
 |
| And i was literally running through all the menus and finally settled for this - Noodle King! |
 |
| My first meal! 아주 배고픈데... |
 |
| 비프쌀국수 (beef rice noodle) Oh this is absolutely yummy and warm for a chilly day outside. |
 |
| After dinner, headed to the Lotte Outlet to get Chingu's giordano pants, as promised! I must say the storekeeper looked really relieved the moment i started speaking Korean to him when i realised that the convo is getting nowhere in english. LOL! And managed to a discount too. What i've learnt - you really need to ask if there is a discount/sale because the prices may not reflect it ^^ |
 |
| Back to Lotte Mart where shopping madness begins! This is a must-go place at every visit to Seoul. And I try to do it on my first day so that i can gauge how much luggage space i have for the rest of trip. |
 |
| Sharing some good buys - mostly snacks for friends and family = ) Market O is a popular Korean snack brand so im coming back to try more of their products. |
 |
| The waffle biscuit just look too tempting! |
 |
| 1+1 for my fave 찰떡쿠키 ! Luggage space constraints so i only bought 2 packs. |
 |
| Trying a new flavor - Market O real brownie (orange choco flavor) The macha flavor on the left is tried & tested, taste real good if u are a brownie fan |
 |
| Can i carton them and ship them back? I love these porridge so much that after much consideration, i bought myself one abalone porridge. Sorry frens, cant bring this back for you. |
 |
| And yogurt jelly is a MUST |
 |
| Deciding between 바나나 rice wine or milk? hahahah |
 |
| A more interesting flavor caught my eye - 고구마 (sweet potato) makgeolli it is! |
 |
| Other competing flavors...ewww chestnut makgeolli? 근데 알밤이 싫어해. |
 |
| Fulfilling an errand for mummy. She has asked for me to buy her kimchi, and knowing that she really liked the kimchi from this 아주머니, im back here once again for her kimchi! |
 |
| Just a small bottle for mummy. |
 |
| And she always cling-wraps it nicely for a safe travel back.. = ) |
 |
| May i say that this Korean Raisin Tea is my new lurve. It is so refreshing and makes you wana drink more with that fragrance that is not too rich nor blend. |
 |
| How can i not grab my fave to-go lattes of all flavors? |
 |
| Finally lugged all that stuff back to my hotel and caught some drama. |
 |
| This truffle waffle is so so so good that it is addictive. Regretted not buying more! |
 |
| And looked, who welcomed me to Korea? LOL |
 |
| I put on my mask and ready to retire to bed after clearing all these stuff. |
 |
| A good night sleep because i have my sweet potato magkeolli to bring me sweeeeet dreams ~ Early day tomorrow so time for bed after a drink. |
 |
| Presenting the snacks & foodies bought from Lotte Mart on my first night. Only if i have more luggage space...hmm maybe not = ) |
