Myeong-Dong

Monday, 11 January, 2010

It’s a routine to drop by Myeong-Dong during our buying trips to check out the latest popular fashion in Korea. It’s like Causeway bay in Hong Kong or Orchard Road in Singapore, where the hippest people hang out, watch movies, meetup with friends and of course to shop!

Look at the number of people!!!

This is taken on a Thursday late afternoon around 4.30pm.

The street was already so packed… since it was autumn then (mid Oct), the weather had started to become chillier as you can see from the sweaters and long sleeve tees.

This ‘’ahjussi” or uncle was sort of ‘posing’ for me when I was busy snapping pictures. Despite his age, he still looks kinda fit and dresses pretty cool as compared to some guy friends I know who totally can’t be bothered with how they dress or look. :p

Some street food vendors along Myeong-Dong:

I really love this little ‘waffles’ thingy. The ‘’ahjumma” will even draw little hearts or bear faces on the waffles! Actually, it’s just 2 very thin waffles stuck together with some caster sugar, nothing fancy but it was really fun watching her make them.

This is like the Korean version of the Chinese 葱油饼. It is actually less oily and crispier! If you see this in Korea, give it a try! :)

Enough about food, the purpose of the trips is to check out the latest trends. I totally love their shoes… we carry quite a number of designs, limited pairs due to the high cost of keeping so many different sizes and stocks, do look out for them when on the site! Or when we hold sprees for them (to bring down the costs for everyone!).

Some teasers for you girls:

That’s all for now. ;)

Mr. Pizza

I must introduce this unique pizza I had during one of my trips to Korea.

Singapore has Pizza Hut, US has Domino Pizza and Korea has Mr. Pizza!

What’s so different is they don’t use the usual like cheese or sausages for crust stuffing.

Make a guess? No idea? Look closer at the photo..

It’s SWEET POTATO!

Yes I know, that sounds so strange and weird… I thought so too

But my Korean friends highly recommended this, so bravely I tried.

That was the best pizza I ever tasted, it’s just hard to describe the wonderful flavour bursting in your mouth. It’s crispy on the outside and sweet and mushy inside, cleverly topped off with savoury BBQ beef and roasted onions.

Plus a “Women’s Wonderful Well-Being” salad bar to go with your pizza to make you feel less guilty.

Can’t wait to go back for more J

P.S:  the blog’s updates are slow, so what would you like to see here? E.g: food, fashion, cute Korean guys/girls? Do drop us a comment!
