Sweetest Berries!



I had tasted the sweetest strawberries ever! It's big in size, cost me 12.8K won for a box of twenty pieces! That's our comfort dessert to end the year with sweetness overloaded! LOL!! 

I am on vacation now.. Thanks to travel mates.. Everything is near perfect! Looking forward for snow soon! Hoping for most of the vacation to-do-list being checked when I am back home! Fingers crossed 😊


Me with the apple strawberries! 


Choosing one to selfie with! 


Tadah! Me and my sweet berries! 😍

Korea With Love, Jeju Island Part 3

It's been a while...since my last update on Korea trip. Few friends were asking when am I going to complete sharing Korea trip since I am not posting anything much of other social network! LOLOL!! I prefer to share them in blogsphere and then reminisced those moments.   

So now, here you go.. my final post on JEJU Island!! 


O'Sulloc Green Tea Ice-Cream

Where ever we go and have green tea ice-cream, they obviously taste the same but having it at a different place makes the difference! Because I am having it at Jeju Island, so I must say they taste super good la!! LOL!! 



Us, at the O'Sulloc Tea Museum 


Moving around in our rented car! FREE WIFI is almost everywhere! One of the many reasons why I major love Korea! 



The beautiful view of Jeju Island


We drove around and stop by whenever we found eye catching views. 



Panorama view of Jeju Island



We had a tea-break here at 'Stay with Coffee'. May not be a coffee lover myself but the environment is worth the visit. Too bad no cute Korean boy to serve us at that time! LOL Else I will ask travel mate to stay a little longer.. :P


The super bitter coffee that turns icy cold in seconds! OKOK..Sounds exaggerating.. In minutes probably.. :P


We even went to Innisfree Jeju House to take a break from the mundane routine and enjoy nature. Super love their 'loving the environment' concept. The picture above is where we can DIY our own soaps with all natural ingredients. I didn't try them though but bought some green tea and soy latte for souvenirs and for myself too!! <3 <3 <3 AND bought lots of innisfree products!! :-D 


We went here - Yongmeori Coast hoping to catch some nice view of rock formations in Jeju Island. Too bad it was high tide when we visited and we were not allowed to enter Yongmeori costline. :-(


Never mind!! We headed to feast instead! This is one of our dinner that night. Guess what??!! We had a back-to back dinner. We wanted to try the famous fresh abalone and also black pork as recommended by travel guide book and even our guest house host told us the same thing!! ηœŸηš„ε₯½ε₯½εƒε“¦!!


Had together with this fish and my favourite rice. I don't know what's this fish it's called. As long as it taste good!LOL!!


If you are heading to Jeju Island and wanted to try this restaurant, check out their phone number. You can key in this number to their GPS and it will lead you to the location. This meal were not that expensive. If I still remembered correctly, it cost three of us Won14900. 


Our second dinner!!! Was a bit full at that time so we just had the famous black pork with vegetables! Just no rice..


Mouth watering meal... Thanks for making me gained 2 kgs in just 13 days!! LOL


I am not a pork lover but I still missed this.. Can you imagine how good they tasted??!! 


I kept repeating I am full on that night but my mouth is still on 'Nom Nom Nom' HAHAHAH


Selfie with the food on table!! We hang out at the restaurant making friends with the restaurant owner - a couple (wife from China and hubby is a local). They were asking for information around KL as they would be coming over for some short courses learning languages. :-D 


Here's the shop location!! After meal, we headed back to guest house. Need to start packing and leaving this nature ground! Going off to Seoul. 


The next morning, we walked around the nearby market before returning our rented car and headed to airport. 


Showing you the many free wifi available at the airport! HAHA..

Travelogue : Korea With Love, Jeju Island Part 2

Woke up at 3:00am local time, had homemade breakfast and made our way to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. Also known as 'Sunrise Peak', was formed through Hydro-volcanic eruptions. It was a volcanoes that were form by piles of volcanic ash, whereby the interaction of hot ascending magma and seawater or ground water about 5,000 years ago. This crater has a measurement of 180m tall, with a diameter of 600m and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, Seongsan Ilchulbong looks like a gigantic crown. I sounded so pro with the explanation right? I actually googled the information. LOL!! 


It was very dark when we went up the hill. Was suppose to pay for entrance fee of 2,000 Won but we went in for free as the ticketing counter is still closed. We met a few others - a Chinese couple from Shanghai and a few local Korean. Since it was so dark we barely see the steps, we walked and had some chat together. 


Reached the top after 45 minutes of walk. Feeling exhausted and had to catch my breath. Haven't been on hill tracks for a while. I lost all the stamina. I look very tired as barely had enough rest the night before. Wrapped myself like a bun. The weather is superb cold but still major love ok!!





Seongsan Ilchulbong is so breathtaking! The sunrise from the crater is magnificent. Every time when I closed my eyes to reminisce my presence over this place, I can't even... I was feeling thankful being able to experience such a beautiful sight. Being able to witness with our own eyes, is was just awesome!! 


The awesome view


Walking down the hill

After all the sightseeing, we were just so hungry and went looking around for food. I think it was me who bugged for food all the while. Travel mate is just normal! Why you guys don't feel as hungry as my level? That's made me gained weight after coming back from Korea. 2 kg for 11 days is shocking!!! 

 Anyway, it was a long journey to the restaurant for me (due to hunger) T____________T 


We found you - Korean Coffee & Pizza & Beer




The menu is all in Korean (without picture) and the waitress only speaks Korean. So what do we do? Kakao Talk Ally to help? That's the best way.. And yea.. our pizza were ordered that way. Cool isn't it? LOL



Korean pizza is filled with lots of veges and nuts! Taste different back home but still good! 

Had a good meal and chit-chat before we proceed for another beautiful wonders in Jeju Island.



Awww.... Nearly died seeing this!! Why you have to be so pretty!!! 




This is Samgumburi Crater - another crater of an extinct volcano. This one exploded quickly as compared to the Seongsan Ilchulbong, but did not spew much lava nor did it form much of a surrounding cone. This is the only one of its kind in the country, making it the natural monument. 





We can walk around the part of the rim but cannot venture down inside the crater. They have a well-paved path that leads us to the viewing area. At the park entrance are several large rocks from the crater. It was during the eruption, molten  rock flew from the volcano into the air and cooled into many exotic shapes. 




Feeling extremely cold when we reached here. The hot coffee turned cold in minutes! 




The other side of the view. You should visit Sangumburi Crater if you had the chance. The entrance fee is 3,000 won per adult.



Head to eMart after that. We felt a little warm and decide to take off our outer wear but Emily was super daring. She removed her legging. Salute her!! But in fact, Jeju Island is a little warmer compared to the rest of Korea cities.


Waiting for our sandwich to be served

Since we wanted to spend some time at the hostel, we went to eMart to buy some Korean snacks and tidbits. On our way, we stopped by to get some  yummy sandwiches. 

We ordered Korean fried chicken and rice for dinner. We were too hungry and none of us actually took any picture of the food! Sorry couldn't share those delicious chicken we had! LOL! 


Say "Annyeong" to Tamna. It belongs to the owner of the guesthouse we stayed. We were able to play with Tamna that evening before her bath time. 


Tamna is kind of big in size and it likes licking and smelling. I tried not to stay too close from her as she gets real excited when she sees human. No, I am not afraid of doggie but Tamna is BIG!!! Not a toy dog ok.. T_____T



Emily loves doggie so much that she missed her "babies" back home. In fact, her babies are cuter cos not big.. LOL.. Anyway, Tamna likes to play with Emily. Thankfully, QQ and Goofy were not there. Else, jealous max! HAHA




Tamna can do stunt from the slides. It's a very clever doggie. We went to the nearby kindy where there's a playground in the school. Some of the kids were still around; so we had fun together with Tamna. 


 Aww... Cute kids in the house. How not to selca with them? Thanks MC for the pictures! 



With the owner having some chit chat time and with Tamna after her bath time. 

Gonna continue my last day at Jeju Island on the next post.  Stay tuned for more magnificent view and tempting-licious meal ^_^
