Wanderlust

Here's part two of my travel diary to Korea. Took awhile to blog about this because of my crazy schedule, but since people are asking what else they can do aside from exploring Nami Island, then here's a little comeback.


First Stop: Gyeongbok Palace



If you're into history and architecture, then you'll surely enjoy strolling around the palace's spacious grounds while appreciating Korea's many court customs.


Just look at how beautiful and intricate the details are. 



If you got tired from all the walking, then a little stopover should do the trick.


Second Stop: FOOD
what Korea is all about: spices and yes, Kimchi


How about some streetfood for the young at heart?
Checkout this Egg Buns


Perhaps, some barbeque for meat lovers


Also do keep warm with some Chicken Ginseng Soup---a must try


Looking for some Authentic Galbi Jim? 
Go to Seochomyeonok and there you'll find
 what your stomach is craving for: mouthwatering ribs


I can go on forever sharing with you all the food we ate in Korea,
but I should stop now, else it can make you incredibly hungry.
Let's just settle for some dessert before I share with you more scenic places.


A must try dessert is Bingsu--- Korea's version of the famous halo-halo


 Now that you're properly energized,
on to our third stop: Petite France



Visiting the little prince


and our knight in shining armour...
 someday our prince will come


But I must say this Little Prince totally slayed it.


Still hyped up? 
Let's proceed to our fourth stop: Bukchon Hanok Village



Immerse yourself in the northern village and get to see hundreds of traditional houses. Yes it may be a little crowded as it is also a tourist spot :)


If you want to blend in with the locals, then why not 
take the metro or freely explore Seoul as your fifth stop

Ain't they cute :)


Perhaps a walk in the park 

and some goofing around would do the trick



For our sixth stop, we went to SKYFARM located in Yeouido. 
I personally recommend that you pay this place a visit.

Talk about a breathtaking view as beautiful as this. 
Feel on top of the world, thanks to this posh restaurant.

And the food as well as presentation was superb.


There's so much to do and see in Korea, so before calling it a home sweet home, do make sure that you get to wear some Hanbok or one of their traditional dresses.


I have been transformed to a gisaeng , a female entertainer
Sweet Dreams!


All the best <3

When In HongKong

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to visit HongKong and destress a bit. 
Though we were not able to visit Disneyland and Ocean Park this time around
 due to massive changes in our plans, it was one hell of a trip. 

For my readers who haven't been to Disney, (whether it be in HK or USA etc.), 
do make sure to put it in your bucketlist, because I guarantee you'll love it :) 



A big hello from my twin and I :)

We were also joined by grandpa and our cousin (who took this photo).
One reason why we came to HK was to satisfy our food cravings.


When in HongKong, you eat as if there's no tomorrow.



And what better way to do it than celebrate with the company of relatives and friends.
After all, they can make good food recommendations, now that they are locals!


And this is what I'm talking about.

And the famous DIMSUM.
All to our heart's content :)

The second tip: When in HongKong, go island hopping.


Do visit Lantau Island,
HongKong's largest outlying island and home to the giant Buddha.
The bronze Buddha is said to be 111 feet or 34 meters high.





To get here is actually the fun part.



Through a cable car ride, you'll get an incredible panoramic and
breathtaking view of the mountainside and the South China Sea.
It's an experience one shouldn't miss.


Can't help but take a little video selfie! :)

I highly suggest choosing the glass-bottomed Crystal Cabin
(than the Standard Cabin) for you to fully experience
an incredible dimension of beauty and magnificence.

If you have a big fear on heights,
then this will be a challenge, but I promise, it will be all worth it.

If this isn't your cup of tea, the third of option you can do is
When in HongKong, get lost and explore.
Ride a tram and visit Madame Tussauds, a wax museum of famous personalities!
To know more about it, checkout this post of mine: Walk with Me


Experience the beauty of the Hongkong skyline
by also visiting The Avenue of Stars located in Tsim Sha Tsui.

If you want to read more about it,
you may checkout my previous feature of HongKong: Avenue of Stars 


Now that we have finished eating and exploring,
then it's time to shop.

When in HongKong, immerse yourself in fashion.

Whether you're an avid fashionista or just feel like strolling around,
Times Square is a beautiful place to do just that.

And OMG, Star Wars StormTroopers!!!
Our visit was so timely :)
For those who haven't watched The Force Awakens, 
do yourself a favor and buy yourself a ticket! You'll enjoy it!

I already miss Hong Kong!
Oh the separation anxiety :)

A Merry Christmas to everyone!

Draft that Masterpiece

Ever had that feeling of wanting to try out a new restaurant, 
but too shy or too lazy to even ask about it?

L-R: Salmon Wasabi Mayo by SumoSam | Fresh Teppanyaki Oysters by Akira | President Steak by Myrons

Well to all food enthusiasts out there,
I bring you some awesome news!
I found a powerful app that puts you in control of your cravings 24/7:

 OpenSnap


OpenSnap is new mobile app powered by OpenRice. It is a revolutionary dining platform
that allows both you and me to upload food photos for the whole world to see.
This app is a gamechanger because it makes one's dining experience a whole lot better.

Whether you want to filter the type of cuisine you are craving for or



sort dining options based on your current whereabouts, 
OpenSnap can help satisfy that hungry palate of yours.


So if there's one restaurant I would recommend to my readers this 2015,
it would be DRAFT Gastropub.


DRAFT remains to be one of the finest and most sought after
European Gastropubs in the Metro. 

I'll let this photo diary justify my claim.






If I got you a little hungry, that's just the start. 
Checkout Draft's other branches at BGC and Rockwell.

If by any reason you're craving for something different,
something refreshing then it's time for you to
dropby OpenSnap and give yourself a little treat.

Perhaps some coffee or molten chocolate cake?


What are you waiting for?
Let OpenSnap be your guide and let yourself be heard.

With over 1 million restaurants to choose from,
OpenSnap is like Instagram and Twitter combined, only better.
It's upto you to filter the photos to your heart's content,
