At a Glance : Seoul, Korea

Happy Holidays!!

n seoul tower 12
I know it has been months since my trip to Korea and yet I always get to remember it every time someone comes up to me asking for Seoul travel tips. That was definitely one of the best trips I've had this year and Paul and I are will hopeful that we can go back to Korea SOON!

I realized also that I failed to create a summary to better guide you in going through all my Korea travel entries.

First and foremost, here's a guide on how to apply for a Korean Visa for all Philippine Passport holders.

Next step is to look for a place to stay. I highly recommend our hotel: Hotel Skypark 1 in Myeongdong, Korea.

Here's also a quick 101 for all Korea newbies.

Be tourist-y and visit these places:
Myeongdong for all out shopping (all the beauty brands are here!) and eating
Gyeongbokgung Palace
COEX Mall and Aquarium (although I don't recommend the aquarium)
Everland Theme Park
N Seoul Tower 

Remember this: must watch the Cookin Nanta Show!

Of course, the most important question is -- where to eat? Here are some recommendations

Yoogane for the yummiest Chicken Galbi
Gimgane for some kimbap
Quick bites at Lotteria
Two Two Fried Chicken

Enjoy KOREA! ♥

Ube Leche Flan Cake by Anghelica's Desserts

Image
This is a story of a cake that has launched a thousand..messages. *bow* Okay, maybe a thousand might be too much but anyway...  It all began when my friend Sten shared her newest sweet discovery of a mouthwatering Ube Leche Flan cake that got all of us here in the Lion City intrigued and craving for our favorite local sweets namely -- ube and leche flan. The perfect combination of something oh-so-creamy and another with the right level of sweetness and yumminess. Luckily, our friend C was in Manila when we discovered this gem so we got his sweet sister C2 to order some cakes and the S'mores bars for us. Hooray for super supportive foodie friends! We found out that these yummy treats are created by Anghelica's Desserts , a home-based business that specializes in Ube Leche Flan Cake (Php. 500) and S'mores Bar (Php. 450/dozen) among others. They also have Dulce Quezo Mamon (Php. 400), Kasuy de Baklava and Polvoron con Queso de Bola too! I have yet to try the

Vito's BBQ : Best Chicken BBQ in Town

Image
This was indeed a big big surprise. It started when I was chatting with my cousin and he casually mentioned Vito's BBQ  as we were talking about Chicken Rice dishes. I didn't thought much about it until I went online and saw a couple of friends from my high school posting about the same thing. "Hmm.. what is this  Vito's BBQ ?", I thought to myself. I was definitely so curious now and I quickly went to their Instagram page to check them out. Oh my! I'll warn you now. Do NOT go to their page at the middle of the night or you'll surely end up hungry and craving for Chicken BBQ. Trust me, I learned this the hard, hungry way.  Apparently, Vito's BBQ is named after the owners' 4 year old and he's so adorable! They started in Libis and recently, they opened their pick-up station in... *drumroll* Ronac Art Center along Ortigas Avenue and is even closer to home! Yahoooo!  Anyway, we celebrated Grandparent's Day last last week and I decided that

EATaewon Seoul Food Experience

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea
