Gwanghwamun Jip – Delicious Kimchi Jigae In Seoul
The ubiquitous kimchi jigae can easily be found in most eateries in Seoul. It is such comfort food especially in cold weather. The stew’s savoury-tart flavour is very appetising – my favourite way to eat the dish is to mix

Jung Sik Dang – Excellent Mod-Korean Restaurant In Seoul
I love Korean food. Whenever I visit Korea, I have it for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner. This is the reason why my husband rarely travels with me to Korea on my annual trips – he does not enjoy spicy Korean

Seoul: Dumulmeori In Yangpyeong
People always ask me why I don’t get bored visiting Seoul at least once every year. Somehow, I always manage to find something new to do, or a new place to visit. I never seem to run out of things to
Seoul: Coffee Libre In Hongdae
I have finally tried the coffee from Coffee Libre after putting it off for a while (‘cos it is quite a hike away from the popular area in Hongdae). It is not an easy place to find and I got lost
