Travel to South Korea for 2 nights and 3 days for the first overseas trip in December 2022!
My friend who came to Korea with me was mainly interested in Kpop idols, but I came to experience authentic Korean cuisine and satisfy my taste buds! ✈️
Day 1
Arrived at Incheon Airport in the early afternoon and stored luggage at the hotel.
Around 4pm, had my first meal 'Myeong-dong dumplings 🥟' while exchanging currency.
Order two servings of '만두 and 칼국수' each and share with four people
The volume was good and it was delicious‼️
The first time I ate Korean kimchi, it was completely different from Japanese kimchi and had less sweetness.
5:00 PM
Then we went to the Express Bus terminal.
After looking at all the clothes in the underground shopping area, I had some 'Dalgona Soft Serve Ice Cream 🍦' at the food court in the corner.
The sweet soft serve with crunchy coffee caramel on top was delicious🤍
From the Express Bus terminal, we moved to Han River Park. It only took around 10 minutes.
20:30 at convenience store CU, 'KanKang Ramen 🍜'
Ramen eaten while watching the cold night view is the best.
21:30 Returning to Myeong-dong by bus for street food
'Nutella Banana Crepe🍌' and 'Keranpan🥚'
On the way back while enjoying shopping for souvenirs and Myeong-dong
Stopped by a local supermarket-like place
Bought ice cream and ate it at the hotel 🍨
Day 2
For breakfast, I had a light hotel buffet which included a vegetable salad and cereal 🥣
We went to Hongdae for shopping and lunch.
12:00 Farmer's Market
'Fried Doughnuts 🍩'
'Something like a hamburger 🍗'
'Oden🍢'
'Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream🖱'
Walking around the market and trying every food that catches my attention 🚶♀️
13:10 Found a stylish cafe
'Tiramisu' and 'Hot Coffee'
Move to Dongdaemun
7:00 pm '닭한마리'
I went to a less crowded restaurant because I didn't understand the system for getting in line at the popular ones.
The efficient old lady brought me '닭한마리' and told me I could eat it as it boiled away while passing by ☺️
Its was really delicious~ 🍚´-
22:50 Myeong-dong street food Return!
It seems that most of the shops had started cleaning up as they were only open until 11 pm, but amidst that, there was 'Yannnyom Chicken 🍗'.
'Cheese balls🧀' and '잡채'
It was closing time, so when I bought one '잡채', they gave me another one for free! My stomach was already full, but I gratefully ate it.
Final Day
Last meal in Incheon airport was Bibimbap before heading home ✈️
8:00 PM
Tonkotsu ramen 🍜 that I ate at Hakata Station was so delicious〜〜〜!!
I've decided in my heart to enjoy my meal deliciously until the end without pushing myself too hard on my next trip to Korea 😮💨
Next, I absolutely have to try samgyeopsal and nakji bokkeum!
