Midnight Snacks...

As soon as I come back from the gym my best friend who also happens to be my roommate tells me she’s craving McDonald’s (they deliver in Korea) right after she asks me how my workout went. She immediately browses the delivery menu on their website deciding what she wants… I was tempted to order an Oreo McFlurry and fries. Luckily, we called and they were jammed with orders which would have taken a minimum of a 40 minute wait so we decided not to order. Instead, we made a trip down to the convenience store and bought snacks. Elisa’s eating ramyun and drinking a strawberry smoothie while I’m snacking on a chocolate-almond ice cream bar and drinking milk. It took us a long five minutes to decide what we wanted to eat. 

We’re major foodies. Sigh.

O'Sulloc Tea House

I am a green tea fanatic! Luckily, at O’Sulloc the majority of the menu consists of treats made with green tea. When I visited Korea in the past a good portion of my money went here. I’m so glad to be back to enjoy this wonderful place. :)

M! Countdown

image

Thursday, March 17, 2011

Sooyeon, Jiyeong, and I went to MNet’s studio in hopes of being able to watch the recording for M! Countdown. We arrived around 11:00 AM. However, the tickets were already gone at 8:30 AM for the show which starts around 7:00 or 7:30 PM. Luckily, we were able to watch 김수현’s (Kim Soo Hyun) Dreaming performance! We got tickets from his fan club manager and got through even though we’re not registered under his fan club. The recording finally started around 12:45 PM. It was worth the wait.

He looks the same in person. Amazing.

Dos Tacos

image

Seriously craving Chipotle! Therefore, Elisa and I resorted to this place called Dos Tacos. Not bad.

We also ordered chips and guac. Guacamole in Korea is expensive! It cost around 5,000 WON (a little less than $5). The guacamole was literally one small spoon scooped inside of a tiny tiny tiny sauce dish.

White Day Part I

Elisa and I decided to spend White Day together. Who needs a boyfriend when you have your best friend?! :)

For dinner we went to Nolita.

image

Bread was not toasted enough. Taste was decent.

image

Oven spaghetti with mozzarella cheese.

Nolita was nice but Spaghettini’s Cream Panne in a bread bowl is much better (pictures soon).

Cheese french toast.

Food: not worth your money. Also, the wait for the food was long. 
Atmosphere: relaxing. It’s a nice place to grab a cup of coffee with friends.

Shilla Hotel

One of the perks of coming to Korea is to enjoy hotel buffets at high end hotels. Last weekend I visited Shilla Hotel with my aunt and uncle to eat lunch at the Parkview.

Chocolateria San Churro

image

After dinner one night we visited this cafe to eat churros! Introduced to me by Elisa who tried a similar place in Spain.

image

We got Churros for Two. I got dark chocolate sauce and Elisa got milk chocolate sauce. 

image

I love churros and dark chocolate. This combination was amazing.

All gone! Delicious.

Fried Day is for Friday!

image

(Sweet potato, squid, shrimp)

I ate fried food all day today. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fried food in one day. Not complaining. Everything tasted great! Yum. 

Of course, I hit the gym afterwards! :)
