Bibimbap & free additions at Namdaemun Market

2012-11-05T08:22:00.001+09:00

Do you know Boribab or Bori Bibimbap? Bori means barley. Few weeks ago, I had and enjoyed it with my husband and daughter at Namhae shikdang, 'calgookso golmock', Namdaemun market.
You can try it with just 5,000 won! When you order 'boribab' or chalbab(made with glutinous rice), chef also gives calgooksoo and bibimnaengmyeon. They are '덤(deom)' so they are free. uncharged additon. great! Take it easy and enjoy all of the dishes! :D

Baeksasil-gyegok(valley)

2012-10-14T16:09:00.003+09:00

Yesterday, I took a tracking in Baeksasil gyegok. I expected it for several weeks, but it was very busy so I could had a time for this short trip this time barely.

If you started walking at Segumjung area, get on any bus toward Pyunchang-dong and get it off at the bus stop 'Segumjung Elementary School'. At the bus stop, there was a stream and a cute bridge. Across the river, there was CU conveniece store and I found a sign board for '백사실계곡 가는 길(the way to Baeksasil-gyegok)'.

There is a small temple with a board 'Samgaksan Hyuntongsa'.

'Gae-Do-Maeng Supporters(Frog-Salamandar-Padlock Supporters)'

In 2004, people found tens of thousands brood pouch here, and Seoul citizens concluded to protect frogs, salamandars and padlocks. They only live in clear water(first grade water.)

Look! It's very very clear! This water streams from Bookhan mountain. Take a look into the water, you can find so many amphibian babies swimming. Entering this valley is prohibited for the reason that keep the nature, I took a photo just this one and returned to the road and continued to walk.

The foundation of pond observatory. There was a summer house of Baeksa Hangbok Lee who was the minister of national defense in 16th century, Chosun Dynasty in Korea. And he is one of my ancestors.

His summer house froundation, neary by the pond.

Huge stock of wild flowers welcomed us. I don't know its name, but I remember the sound bzzzzz... So many cute bees were gathering honey for winter time.

This is 'Baeksuk Dongchun Gackja Bawii' Baeksuk means this mountain, dongchun means a beautiful place. And gakja bawii means the rock carved letters.

This is very famous cafe gallery for backlot of the drama 'Cafe Prince'.

The view is very nice!

A piece of camembert cheese cake and a cup of coffee on the table nearby window.

Mmmmmm...! It's delicious!

I got on the bus at Jahamoon Joomin Center and get it off at Gyeongbokgoong Yeok(subway 3rd line). Nearby the station, there is a bazar and a food alley.

Today's tracking course. I marked it with light violet pen. I walked slowly and slowly but it took only an hour and a half. It's very easy course. I am going to take a walk with my daughters when leaves are red and yellow.

Yoido Fireworks Festival 2012

2012-10-08T22:39:00.001+09:00

Korean calls fireworks as 불꽃놀이(bul-kot-nori). It means 'fire flower playing'. When I watch them, I can understand why people think that they look like flowers.

This movie is taken and edited double speed by my friend, on Oct. 6, 2012.

Hongje Fall

2012-10-03T16:15:00.000+09:00

Do you know Hongje stream and Hongje Fall?

We can see Hongje Fall on Hongje Stream in Seodaemungu, Seoul.

Today is Gaechunjul(the day Dangoon established this country before 4345 years ago.),national holiday, so my family could amble along Hongje Chun(stream). There is a little fall. It's an artificial, but very beautiful so people enjoy and love it.

Little valley makes me happy. :)

This is 'mul-le-bang-a', watermill moved from Jungsun, Gangwondo to add rural atmosphere here(this is my thoght.:) ).

There is 홍연교(Hongyeon Bridge, marked 'A') in nearby Seodaemungu office, and go downstairs not across the biridge, you can meet the fall soon.

Midnight Rainbow - Banpo Bridge

2012-10-02T14:40:00.000+09:00

Have you ever seen rainbow at midnight? You can see it somewhere around Banpo Bridge in Seoul.

Before the day of Chooseok(full moon day, September, lunar calendar), I took a walk riverside with my husband and his sisters. At 8:30, we could see a beautiful fountain show.
Today, I found the information about that on the internet, it begins in 2008 and you can see it twice a day, at 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock everynight (on holiday, 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 pm).

Mom Style - Gangnam Style Parady [HD]

2012-09-26T19:47:00.000+09:00

Do you know Psy and 'Gangnam Style'? I'm sure that you have heard about him or the music video once at least. Now I present 'Mom Style' made by several mothers in Jookjun, near by Seoul. It's very funny and you won't be disappointed.

I'm so sad that I cannot find this video translated into English.

Namdaemun Hotddog

2012-09-26T09:37:00.002+09:00

Early spring, in this year, I could eat 'hotddog' at Namdaemun shijang(market). It is very popular because of its' low price and good taste, especially at cold weather.

This hotddog is stuffed with honey(brown sugar and nuts), vegetable or seafood. At this photo, there are two stainless steel containers. Left one is vegetable and the other one is seafood(why red? cause the chef mixed it with gochugaru-hot spice.).

I bought six hotddogs and brought them home(where is the remainings? my husband and I ate them at that place immediately. yum~:)). They look like donuts or croquettes.

Let's cut them in half. We can see the stuffing-honey hotddog, seafood one and vegetable one.

They are very chaeap and tasty. Try it, If you have any chance to come to Seoul and visit Namdaemun Market. You won't regret it.

how much?
Honey(sugar and nuts), Vegetable ; 1,000won
Seafood ; 1,500won

where is the shop?

The origin of hotddog(호떡;ho-ddog) is not known exactly, but 'ho' means 'Chinese' so people guess it was from China a long time ago. Some people say, it's from Persia. But who knows it? Just a guess.
