The restaurant only have 3 menu, Konggugsu, Kalgugsu and Mandu. All is 5000 won each. Simple is the best :) Most of the local were having Kalgugsu, cause it is a hot noodle. I think no one will eat cold noodle in such cold weather except me. I saw Konggugsu before in tv and it looks delicious for me as i like soy milk very much. But after having it, I found it was not like as i expected. The soy milk/soup have the soy bean powder in it. I though it just like soy milk that we drink, no powder with it. And the soup was tasteless. Mix kimchi with it will make the konggugsu tastier.
There was an auction in Insangdong in this day. It was very interesting. The participants were asked to scoop the rice, and it must be as much as requested correctly. Then it will be weighed. If you can scoop the rice correctly, then you can bring home 10kgs rice. Of course i didn't try my luck at there. What I am going to do with the 10 kgs rice hahah (I think i can't scoop it correctly though :p)
We spent the whole day for shopping in Dongdaemun and Myeongdong. Although we came to Dongdaemun with my parents before, we didn't have enough time at that time. So this day we can explore more. After shopped a bit, we felt hungry so we ate in the food court in Doota. We had a korean style mixed fried rice.
Shopped enough in Dongdaemun, we move to Myeongdong. We went to Myeongdong almost everyday hahah. Yeah we like Myeongdong very much. I like to shop at the street stall in here. There are many cute accessories sold in here. And also the food stall. We found a stall with many ppls were in line to buy the snack. It called Hotteok (호떡), kinda chinese pancake with melted brown sugar inside. It was very delicious, especially have it in this cold weather.
We ate the hotteok at the corner of street nearby the stall, and met 2 obasan who came from Japan. Have a nice talk with them. There are many japanese tourist coming to Seoul nowdays. Most of the seller in Myeongdong can speak some japanese. Even I didn't say any japanese with them, they always reply me in Japanese (some of them reply me in chinese tho- )
I think I will very very surprised if they can reply me in Indonesian hahaha
In Korea, Japanese is usable than English. One of the shop attendant in duty free shop in Myeongdong tried very hard to speak english with me, and I didn't expect that she would asked me "mousiwake gozaimasen ga, okyaku-sama wa nihongjin desuka " which mean, i am sorry, may I know if you are a japanese? Yes, she asked me in japanese directly, not in english! I told her that I can understand japanese, and then! You know what?!! Her japanese is very fluently!!! : )
Anyway, our main purpose back to Myeongdong in this day was for shopping in Duty Free Shop. I only know DFS in Myeongdong and I afraid we wouldn't have enough time to shop in airport. We bought in DFS Myeongdong and then we have to redeem it in the airport. Quite troublesome though.
We ended our journey in one nice street stall in Myeongdong. Most of my travel, I will ended my last dinner in a nice restaurant. But not in Korea, I will more like to eat in street stall. Will prefer to order some "anju" and have "soju" hehehe We ordered Pajon ( 파전) , the green onion pancake which more popular called Chijimi. And fried egg, and also the mussel, just like the one we ate at the first day. And of course with soju :) Surprisingly, we could pay the bill by credit card. Thumb up!! hehe
The next morning, for the first time we had the simple breakfast at the guest house. Then check-out and took the airport bus to Incheon airport. We had our lunch at airport. I had kimbap and my brother had a chige. I always wanted to eat kimbab while in the city, but always ended by order another food that i never tried before.... too bad, the kimbab in airport is not as delicious as I ate before in city. Wouldn't order kimbab in airport again! :P
If you read my Seoul travelogue from the first day, you will find that we were not doing any sightseeing activity in Seoul. Yes, we just shopping and eating and eating hehehe And for me, plus for practice my korean ;) Although I can't speak korean fluently, my bad korean still usable when buy something, ask for bargain, ask the direction when we get lost etc. I think my korean will improve if I stay longer : ) Sure will visit korea again!!
