Ashley Buffet Restaurant (Gongdeok) - NEW food, brunch & RULES?

How things change... Our visit to our favorite buffet , Ashley, was a mixed feeling of good and bad - pleasant and disappointing.. in so many ways!

What to eat on a day when you're not in the mood to eat anything in particular - jajangmyun

What do you do on a day when you don't know what to eat (cook)?

JA JANG MYUN.   ring ring ring~~ Yes, delivery to APT 000-000.

Set #2 please (2 bowls of jajangmyun & Tangsooyook for 14,000won)


20 minutes later on our table.  Pretty pink plates & food!

The jajangmyun was a bit disappointing this time, but their Tangsooyook was much better than the last time we had it.

We have about 10+ coupons worth 300won each - but supposedly we can't use them for "set menus" (cheapos) - but for regular dishes that costs 20,000won for one plate.


Although after eating jajangmyun, we always end up brewing ourselves coffee almost immediately after finishing up... you can't help but feel a little guilty and oily with this meal, but so worth it.



The Face Shop SALE - January 2013

The first sale of the year for The Face Shop.


From 1/4 - 1/7!

Up to 30% off :)

However, be aware that certain "tourist" areas - like MyungDong - will not advertise this!  I had to give them my "phone number" to confirm my membership at a store in MyungDong as supposed to other stores that won't even check for "membership", but allow it to all customers.

**Membership is free! Just requires a little paperwork~^^

Mapo-Naru - traditional Korean food & makgeoli restaurant

We headed to MAPO-NARU in Mapo for our adieu 2012 dinner.

This restaurant serves traditional Korean food from "jeon" to "spicy Korean chicken stew".  It was my first time there and I've only heard good things about this place from my hubs who frequent this place with his buddies for makgeoli.


We ordered the "hong-uh" (skate fish) and "bossam" set and "gool-jeon"(oyster-pancakes). 

They served the basic side dishes and "dwen-jang" soup for each of us.

We got their "house" makgeoli - I can't recall what it was called..

Gwanghwamoon - KT store(Olleh Square) & iPhone5

My husband has been talking about wanting to get the iPhone 5 for a while now.

last day of 2012 in Gwanghwamoon

He's lucky - I guess he's been good this year - we somehow ended up in Gwanghwamoon - where the KT store has iPhone 5 and the staff speaks really good English.
