Ok, I am trying rush through this. Lol!
Butterfingers Pancakes – just beside our apartment
88-9 Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu (강남구 청담동 88-9번지)
Cost: $$$
Service : Excellent – probably because we went on a weekday and in the morning.
Verdict : Wide variety of pancakes/waffles choices
Fluffy pancakes!
Noryangjin Market
Probably one of the most memorable experiences I had in Seoul.
Noryangin station – exit 1.
Once you exit the station, you could smell it. Fishy smell.
The place is slippery and wet. So you might not want to wear your favourite shoes/clothes. Heh heh!
We stood on the 2nd floor and you could see row and rows of stalls selling seafood! I love seafood, so I was extremely excited.
We wanted to have lunch here, so we proceed to choose one of the restaurants on the 2nd floor. Communication was a teeny weeny bit of a problem due to our lack of Mandarin and Korean.
Chose 1 restaurant and the kind ajumma lead us to the 1st floor to choose our seafood. I guess each restaurant has an affiliated stall, so you can’t go to anywhere else.
Since it was our first time, so we just follow with the flow.
If you have more time, you might want to explore the whole market and compare prices before deciding. Oh well, maybe next time.
Once that’s done, we paid for the raw seafood and went back to the restaurant.
You can get the chef to cook them as per your preference – baked, fry, soup, grilled, steam etc.
Verdict : Fresh and good.
Price : SGD 150 inclusive of cooking
Children’s Grand Park
216, Neungdong-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul
서울특별시 광진구 능동로 216 (능동)
Children’s Park Station (Seoul Subway Line 7), Exit 1
I thought I would see a whole lot of kids here, but no.
The place was practically deserted, probably because of the heavy snow the night before.
The ground was very, very slippery. I slipped, and fell hard on my bum.
Since the place was deserted, my kids had the place to themselves.
I must say, they throughly enjoyed screaming and running in the park.
There’s a small zoo as well.
If you have kids, you will enjoy the park! 🙂 🙂 🙂
