The Colorful of Love: Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain

My favorite tourist attraction! Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain (반포대교 달빛무지개분수)

Why I love it... because.. No doubt! It's actually as beautiful as what you have seen in picture!
I called it "The most romantic place in earth"! I've been there 4 times and I still love it very much.
Very beautiful rainbow fountain... Amazing Han River... plus romantic song that is played during rainbow fountain show.
I hope my 5th visit would be with my baby :p

This bridge is also a very famous place for film shooting. Some of the scenes in korean drama like "Daddy's Girl", "Iris", and "Boys Before Flowers" are also filmed here. I could remember how I want to go this place so much because it appears in many Korean drama.
Tourist can sit on both sides of the Bridge to enjoy the magnificent night view in the heart of Seoul.

Many photographers like to come here and take pictures too during the bridge's operating hours. This is also a good spot for couple to date and friends to chit-chat. Some koreans prefer to take an evening walk here while some people prefer to ride a bicycle nearby the river. Most of the time, there were also people selling fried chicken here. If you are not in a tight budget, I highly recommend you to buy a box of fried chicken and slowly enjoy the view. Price should be around 12000 won for a box of whole chicken. You could enjoy the famous and delicious fried chicken while relaxing by the river!

Bibimbab, Make Your Tongue Dancing

its 11AM here now. sooo hungry~ waiting for lunch break. oh yes, an hour left T_T

so, I decided to post something that will make me better: FOOD!

this food is one of my favorite!

Bibimbab~

Bibimbab is literally "mixed" meal in Korean word. It is served as a bowl of warm white rice with vegetable, meat, a soft egg and mixed together before eaten.
This food is considered to be one of healthiest dishes as it contains a lot of nutrition.

Korean people loves spicy food, so they usually put Gochujang or Chili Pepper Paste to make it spicy.
and it makes your Bibimbab so colorful. kekeke

If you go to Jeonju, you have to try their Bibimbab. Jeonju is so popular with their bibimbab. But its little bit pricey. You have to pay around 10,000 won ~ 15,000 for one bowl of Bibimbab in Jeonju while you can find 7,000 won Bibimbab in Seoul.

waiting my bibimbab!

They usually add beef to make it more delicious. My friend, Devi cant eat beef so she always orders without-beef-bibimbab

hello devi eonni!

without-beef-bibimbab

and for me, I really like to add Seaweed to my Bibimbab, and mix it together with other vegetables. The taste is so heaven.

you can see the different between Jeonju bibimbab and the last one right? no wonder the one that I bought in Jeonju is more expensive.

the highlight of Bibimbab is the egg! so dont even dare to eat other people's egg when you guys eat Bibimbab together.

try me!

last but not least, you have to try Korean green chili peppers.. usually korean people eat this as their side dishes. so you can ask for more green chili peppers if you like it for free. lol


what's your favorite Korean food? ^^

MIES Container: Good Foods, Good Male-Waiters

hello! this is my first post about culinary spot in Korea. hohoho
its not korean food though, but its recommended place to go!

yup! MIES Container in Gangnam~

they have 2 branches in Seoul, which are located in Gangnam and i-forgot-where-it-is. But I made a visit to the Gangnam branch that time.

Since it is almost impossible to find a stylish restaurant serving delectable food at affordable prices in Gangnam, its popularity has practically hit the roof.

You have to wait several minutes or even hours to go inside the restaurant. the waiting list is always soooo long. my friend and I ended with an hour waiting even though we went there at 4PM. usually i never have to wait to go inside when going to restaurant around 4PM though, since its too late for lunch nor too early for dinner.

the waiting list T_T

The atmosphere inside Mies pretty much screams one word – Macho. The open loft structure is constructed like a factory, with the slogan ‘Wipe and Tighten and Oil!’ written on the wall in Korean.

 They even have numbered construction helmets to identify orders. All the waiters are young and hot (and male), and overly friendly towards customers, especially women.

If you are a woman, you will love this place very much. trust me! lol. you can feel Hallyu-Stars are everywhere inside the restaurant. with their good bodies and good appearances. they will give you high-five after your orders are served.

We tried to order Nacho for both of us. and when it came to our table, WOW so big! the good news is the price is so affordable. we paid 16,500 won for that big nachos and fruit salad.

16,500 won - Mies Style Nacho Platter

when its getting darker outside, the waiter will give candle for each table. candle light dinner with pretty onnie!
that time we did chit-chat until around 7pm. because that night was the last night for Luna, and my last-2-days before coming back to Indonesia T_T

if you love handsome guys, delicious foods, hip-hop musics and cheap prices, go there!

is there any restaurants with only male as waiters in your hometown? ^^

Cheonggyeochon Stream: Secret Dates Under the Moonlight

Cheonggyecheon stream (청계천), the 5.8-km restored stream that magically starts in the heart of downtown Seoul and courses through the neighborhoods of Jongno and Dongdaemun before it meets the Jungnangcheon (중랑천) and eventually empties into the mighty Hangang river (한강).

In the mornings, groups of ajummas power-walk along the paths while lovebirds walk slowly arm-in-arm at night when the banks are lit up. There’s also a growing number of fish and birds returning to the Cheonggyecheon stream, including a few bright orange goldfish i saw on a recent trip.

the stream is surrounded by various attractions. It passes through Deoksugung Palace, Seoul Plaza, the Sejong Center, Insa-dong Street, the Changdeokgung Palace, and the Changgyeonggung Palace.

I prefer to go there at night because the atmosphere is just so different. you can see many couples do lovey-dovey.. and some bridges have super good lighting, like heart-shape, pretty flower and many more.

if you ever watched Super Junior and Girls Generation music video you know what I mean. Kyuhyun and Seohyun's scenes were in Cheonggyecheon stream~

last time I went there was on December 2013. and they had ice-Christmas-tree. I asked someone to help me taking a picture. kekekeke.

peace!

There are some annual events in Cheonggyeochon stream, for example lantern festival which is held every November since 2009. So dont miss it!
