Trying Korean Street Food is an Absolute Must!

heihoooo~ holla hello hi

sorry for super late posting. I've been so busy recently. and I was super lazy to do blogging last week

since 2 hours left to my lunch time, im going to post about food! I love eating eating eating so much. something goes wrong i guess, because my weight is only 41kg =.="

making u starving? sorry :p
Do u know about street food?

Street food is usually ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or vendor, often from a portable stall.
Trying street food whenever you have overseas trip should be in your to-do-list. each country has their own unique taste, so you should try it.


In this post, I will introduce some of Korean street foods which are always being my favorite.

Hotteok. Its delicious pancake with filling such as peanut or honey etc etc etc.


In Busan, there's famous Hotteok that usually be appeared in many Korean dramas. It's located in Busan International Film Festival street. You can easily find this stall since you will find a very long queue in front of it.
The price is so cheap. only 1000 won!

My friend, Devy really really really like eating Hotteok. One day we went to Myeongdong, Seoul to have Hotteok, and she bought so many Hotteok. "I'll skip my dinner tonight. Lets have Hotteok for our dinner, eh?"
For me, I like Honey Hotteok more than peanut Hotteok


The second is 핫바. Its pronounced as "Hatba".. Actually this is from English word "Hotbar". 핫바 is the Korean style of Hotdog..
There's so many kinds of Hot Bar, such as squid, cheese, tteok, chilli and many more. The price is around 2000~2500 won.


Next is the Twisted Potato Chip. It is a sliced, twisted and swirled potato that is deep fried and then coated in a cheese flavored salt. Crunchy and delicious. The price is 2000 won. Eating this in winter season really makes your body warm. but you have to eat that as soon as buying it because it will get cold easily.


meeee~
Thats all!~ Those are my top-3-korean street foods. How about you?  

Which korean street food do you want to try?

*I did take all those picture by myself, but i never put any watermarks on it. so please never steal it without credit

Fly to the Sky with Sky Lift in Seoul Grand Park

Seoul Grand Park is one of famous place in Seoul. It has so many attractions, like amusement park, zoo, botanical carden, camping site, etc etc etc.

It's been a year since my last year trip to Seoul Zoo.
I've tried to go there with Yudra, Wongso and Stefanny who had summer school in Inha university last year.

After finishing our lunch in KFC (my first time spending so much money for buying KFC. KFC in Seoul is much much much expensive than in Indonesia), we went to Seoul Zoo.



KFC bulgogi burger!

take a pic before eating
 The Zoo is quite far from the main gate. You can go there by bus or by sky lift . If you want to take a bus, you should pay 1000 won for each person.


main entarance. turn left to the amusement park, turn right to the zoo ^^


Since sky lift looked more interesting, so we chose to ride it.
The price is 5000 won for 1 person. We bought 4 tickets. Yudra and I were in first cable car while Stefanny and Wongso were in the next one after us.
It's so funny when I looked back and found Wongso's frozen pose riding the sky lift.


5000 won each person

freeze kekekeke

our handsome Yudra :)

meeeee in pinky pinky

Its so interesting! I mean, I've ever tried riding this kind of thing in Genting, Malaysia. and that's 1000 times scarier than this one! I swear.



We can see the beautiful scenery from the sky lift. Seoul Grand Park is so big! You cant visit all of them in one day trip.






After around 15 minutes of ride, we arrived in Seoul Zoo.

ah, one thing! If you ever watched 4men Music Video "Thank You", you might know this scene? Yes its in skylifter in Seoul Grand Park! ^^



my favorite Music Video

And this is Yudra and I trying to copy the scene. hahaha. similar? =))

Fangirl Time: Super Junior's Kiss the Radio!

helloooo. since so many people requested to make a post about how to go to KBS to see Ryeowook DJ, I will make it now ^^

If you're an ELF, you might know that Ryeowook has daily schedule for being DJ in KBS.
the program name is Super Junior's Kiss the Radio~ or its called Sukira.
It's aired every night, from 10PM~12 AM KST.
You can do streaming through KBS website to hear Ryeowook DJ!

6 seconds before on air! wohoooo excited~

the DJs were Hyuk and Teuk until 2011(?) or 2012. and then Sungmin and Ryewook replaced them.
on 2012, Sungmin had drama musical so he stepped down from Sukira. Since that time, Ryeowook become sole DJ until now.

you can see Ryeowook across this place after coming out from elevator to studio
Ryeowook! ^^

You can go to KBS building to see him on air on BORA.
Bora is Boineun Radio (보이는 라디오) or literally meaning Visible Radio (?). They will turn on their web camera, so the listeners can hear and see the studio and DJ through their screen at the same time. And the good thing is we can go to KBS on BORA and see Ryeowook on air from outside the window. Usually there are so many fans waiting from around 9.30PM or 9PM. so make sure you come earlier if you want to get the first row.

i was fatty piggy back on 2012 =.="

There are 2-3 times Bora in a week. so dont forget to check their website about the schedule. usually they will release one week schedule on Sunday, including the guests.


Tips ♥
1. Check the schedule here. The schedule is in Korean, for example  8/11 ~ 8/17 Kiss The Radio 초대 손님을 소개합니다
2. Come earlier to get the best spot
3. If you are not tall enough, you can bring folded chair. Korean fans usually bring it along with them
4. Bring umbrella in rainy seasons, or wear the thick jacket on winter since its outdoor place.
5. If you only want to see Ryeowook, pick the Bora date when there is no guest to avoid many fans coming +.+ Seriously, one day I went to there when EXO came as guest, and it was soooo crowded. SJ fans and EXO fans gathered together +.+

I took some pictures. sorry for Ryeowook fans, but Sungmin's my bias that time. kekeke







The radio will end on 00:00AM KST, so if you are a subway-lover, its better to you to leave on 11PM or 11.30PM as the latest. I know its kind of heart-breaking to leave the place so early, but for me I never want to take cab because its little bit expensive compare to subway.

♥ Address: 대한민국 서울특별시 영등포구 여의동 KBS방송국 본

How to go there:
1. Seoul subway Line 9 : National Assembly: Exit 4.
2. Walk straight out of exit 4, going straight until you hit the end of the road and then turn right. The location is to your right and it's really hard to miss especially at night. It takes around 5~10 minutes.

Good luck! ^^

I'm Craving for Patbingsoo!

I'll introduce with what-you-should-try to-eat-in-summer!
yes for Patbingsoo!



Patbingsoo is a Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings such as chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and red bean paste. The snack is highly popular in South Korea.


There are so many restaurants that serve Patbingsoo on summer. but, my favorite is Caffe Bene's.
They have Patbingsoo with Oreo topping. the taste is sooo heaven! im fans of Oreo to be honest.
 
Usually the price is around 9000 won~ 12000 won. You will die of happiness when you eat the first spoon in the hot summer. its just perfect for summer~
the cheaper one is only Patbingsoo without any topping like strawberry, Oreo etc etc etc. The plain Patbingsoo is ice and red bean.

my favorite!
the plain Patbingsoo. its delicious as well!
 Actually the price is not so expensive since you can eat it together with your friends. So usually the waitress will ask you, "how many spoon do you need?"

Wongso and Yudra came for summer school! wrong focus picture, sorry T_T

Caffe Bene's spoon is cutie pie~

with favorite companion, Devi eonni
In Busan, you can find traditional Patbingsoo in Busan International Film Festival street. the sellers still use traditional machine to shave the ice. I dont know the price because that time my friend bought it for me.  I think its around 8000 won.

try me when u come to Busan ^^
So, dont be so jealous when you see thousand of couple in Seoul eating Patbingsoo together in summer. you can have your own too!
Which taste do you want to try?

Perfect Summer Drama, 연애 말고 결혼 (Marriage Not Dating)

hey yoooo~

2 weeks ago, Jinwoon posted 15secs video through his instagram. He said dont forget to watch  연애 말고 결혼 tonight.
Hearing the title, I thought it's kind of variety show like We Got Married. but noooo~ It's korean drama!
Its airing twice in a week, Friday and Saturday on tvN at 20:50.



yesterday I tried to download one episode. I thought it will be so boring, since I dont know other players
 except Jinwoon and Sunhwa from Secret. but........ I LOVE IT! hohoho.


its so funny even in first 10 minutes. and Jinwoon is totally BYUTIPUL here! He plays as Han Yeo Reum, a guy who's really good in Mildang! do you know mildang? its kind of push-pull "technique" to attract someone.
his acting is betterrrrrr than before. good job baby!


I cant wait to watch the next episodes tonight. wohoooo~
I recommend this drama because other actors and actress are so nice as well. Jinwoon is my first reason watching this though xDDDDD




oh and one more thing, the lighting for this drama is somehow dramatic, like mostly Music Video.
maybe they use the high-quality camera to shoot~


I love it so far! sweet and funny things combine in 1 package. so dont forget to watch it! Go watch the teaser first


and their opening soundtract is addicting.. its on my current playlist already ^^
