Bagi yang inda kenal, si Beige ani famous for the song Because I Miss You from the drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. She also made a cameo in the drama Secret Garden.
This one right here is my personal favorite, "Your Song" from the soundtrack "Five Children".
Gwangjang Market (κ΄μ₯μμ₯)
Beige picked us up around 1pm at our guesthouse and she brought us to Gwangjang Traditional Market. The market is South Korea’s first market and continues to thrive as a popular tourist destination today. The second floor of the market provides all of your silk, satin, and linen bed-sheet stores, which are the largest and most famous in Seoul. Many of the stores in the area even have their own factories supplying fabrics to the Namdaemun Market, Pyoung Hwa Market, and even to some department stores. Even though the goods are not brand-name products, the wide selection of high quality goods at inexpensive prices makes it an enjoyable shopping experience. Via Visit Korea
Beige as our tour guide!
Gwangjang Traditional Market ani sama macam Tamu Kianggeh kitani disini. Macam-macam ada bejual disini. From Korean traditional food and delicacies, to kain-kain and pakaian traditional bisdia. We also get to try some of their food, kana belanja oleh si Beige! π
Nokdu Jeon/Mung Bean Pancakes. Crispy and it has a sweet and savory taste!
Ani confirm orang tau. Tteokbokki - made from soft rice cake, fish cake, and the sweet red chili sauce called gochujang (a savory, spicy, and pungent fermented Korean condiment made from red chili, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt.)
Thank you for the treat Beige! π
Insa-dong (μΈμ¬λ)
Lapas dari Gwangjang market, Beige brought us to Insa-dong. Disana kami tejumpa Korean yang pandai cakap Melayu!
Insa-dong, located in the heart of the city, is an important place where old but precious and traditional goods are on display. There is one main road in Insa-dong with alleys on each side. Within these alleys are galleries and traditional restaurants, teahouses, and cafes. Every Saturday from 14:00 to 22:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 22:00, the main street is blocked off from traffic and it becomes a cultural space. Stores set up booths outside and Korean candy merchants and fortune teller stalls can easily be found; there are traditional performances and exhibits as well. Insa-dong is especially popular among foreign tourists. This is where they can experience and see traditional Korean culture firsthand, and also purchase pieces of fine art. On the street you can eat Korean taffy and traditional pajeon (Korean pancake), and see many foreigners lost in all the joyous festivities of the street. Via Visit Korea
Enjoy the video that I took when we were in Insa-dong.Kami tejumpa orang Korea pandai bekurapak Melayu!
The snack yang that Korean guy made in the video is called Honey Candy. I didn't catch its Korean name. It is made out of honey which turned into around 16,000 strings and filled with peanuts as its fillings. Very sweet treats and we all like it and ended up buying 10 boxes of the snacks lol
After strolling around Insa-dong Beige brought us to try traditional Korean tea and delicacies, which was perfect for the cold weather!
Beige showing me some of the traditional Korean tea available on the menu. Too bad I didn't catch the name of the tea shop!
Korean Traditional Plum Tea. A little to sweet for me. The one behind the tea is a snack made of rice cake and honey! Koreans do use a lot of honey in their recipe.
This is called Yakgwa. Yakgwa is traditionally made of honey, sesame oil, and wheat flour. Recently, Yakgwa has been manufactured by corporations that add more ingredients in order to improve the taste of the biscuit. Rasanya macam kuih lidah disaluti madu. Luan-luan sama rasanya! We ordere few boxes of this untuk dibawa balik ke Brunei pasal nyaman.
One with Beige! π
After having the tea Beige brought us strolling around Gangnam city which you can see from the video that I shared above!
Had Ice-Cream in the winter time sajuk-sajuk. Kana liat-liat tarus. Either kana ucap kabal, atau gila. π
After strolling the city we went home. Sorang-sorang sudah lalah and kanyang and ada yang selisma lapas makan ice-cream (me)! Nasib si Beige membalikan ubat. Alhamdulillah esoknya baik! The ubat was really strong and effective but really pahit rasanya.
The fourth day kami semua ke Namsan Tower! Stay tune for my post!
