Last Meal in Seoul

Somewhere within the hotel vicinity.

These were fried dumplings surrounding an oriental salad with the traditional red paste.

Bibimbap again with egg drop this time.

Bibimbap not in traditional hot stone bowl.

It was Bulgogi for me. (I wasn't able to take a picture of it though.)

Smoothie King

Sounds like Burger King to me.  Instead of burgers, they serve smoothies with numerous selections.  Along with that, they serve pastries and muffins.

We tried the caramel and blueberry muffin.

We got Strawberry Extreme and No Fat Strawberry Smoothie (for my dad).

School Food in Myeong-dong

The view is a bookstore beside the school "cafeteria".

Some Ramyon

Rice cake with spicy sauce.

This reminds me of palitaw without the coconut and sugar and sesame seeds.

I like it sweet than savory or spicy.

They cook this in the streets of Seoul.

It's their staple food.

I love this Cajun Chicken Kimbap

Korea Restaurant

Yep, that's what they call it. I wonder how many there around Seoul ^_^

Bulgogi

My favorite Korean side dish: cabbage roll

Bibimbap in traditional hot stone bowl.

I had to eat quickly in order not to burn the food.

Hanggang Cruise Dinner Buffet

Located: Somewhere in Hanggang River, Seoul  ^_^

The ferry restaurant leaves at 19:30 and we got there just on time.

I don't know half of what we were eating but everything tasted new to the taste buds.

And that is what made this buffet special.

My sister's plate was a mess.  And she knows it too.

These were scoops of rice with some cheese and special mayo in it.

Coldstone's Strawberry Cheesecake

First time to try it in Namsan Park, Seoul.

I keep telling my sister that we have ColdStone in the Philippines too, right?

Eating ice cream in the park is one of life's simple pleasures.

I hope there were more parks in Manila too.

Seoul: Oriental Room at Namsan Park

Oriental Room

Namsan Park

20-minute walk from

Myeong-dong Station, Exit 4

Daddy is checking out the display of Korean and Chinese dishes.

Upon entry, when you look at your left, you see this tunnel-like interior.

The other side offered a really nice view.

But since we were taking a very early dinner at that time, the afternoon sun 

was glaring in that area so we had to choose the middle aisle.

I've never seen a table setting like this before.  

We get to have our own kettle of chilled Jasmine tea.

I don't know if this is true but somebody told me that every side dish they had was made of 

radish.  They just put different food coloring on them.

This is what my sister ordered.

This is what my dad ordered.

And this is what I ordered.  It's breaded pork on top of a salad and semi-spicy sauce.

It is topped with peppers, onions and celery.

My sister and I finished this dish. 

My dad refused to have his share because he can't finish his own plate.

Taste: 4 stars

Somehow, the food reminded of some other local place here in Manila.

Menu: 4 stars

Everything in the menu looked great.  Everything in it was worth coming back for.

Service: 5 stars

The cook even got out and asked how the food was.

Of course, we said it was great.  

Ambiance: 5 stars

Even without the chic interior, the view outside the window makes any meal great.
