친구 & Vietnamese cusine~

Pho Mein Restaurant~ 포메인                                  

HI~~**안녕~

During a very very hot Korean day, my friend (언니) and I decided to go to play together ~ we went shopping, hanging around the city, cafe etc...after that..since it was really so hot and we were a bit hungry~ ^^ We decided to try something different from the Korean food: ......Vietnam cusine....

{actually I was a bit skeptick about that kind of food, since I have never tried that kind of cusine, but it was not as bad as it seemed}

We got to the franchise restaurant called: Pho Mein ~ 포메인.

The interior looks very cosy and elegant, made by the black furnitures.

After checking the menu we went for the so called ~ Pho mein's Pho~포메인 쌀국수, even if they have a wide range of noodles soup.

As soon as we sit the staff brought us water *in Korea water is free* and even green tea in a small cup~ but very tasty~

FINALLY WE GOT OUR NOODLES!

홍두깨

Various of Boiled Beef Pho = 10.000won ~7 Euros

The broth was really hot ㅋㅋㅋㅋand the meat was well cooked, not spicy thankfully and the onion that was inside did not was too much strong. The thing that I did not like so much was ..the noodles..their texture was totally different from the Korean or Japanese ones. This kind of noodles were very thick and not so tasty.

Moreover, they also bring you some side dishes like, vegetables, soy, sauces etc...

It was good day~^^&^^

See u to the next post!!!

Haru~하루

이탈리아 요리! Italian cuisine in Korea

이탈리아 요리! Italian cuisine in Korea

안녕하세요!!

Hello^^))

Today I will talk about the Italian cuisine in Korea..*cough*cough in some restaurants is pretty 

similar to the real one, but in others...well..it's just spicy as hell, because they cook pasta or 

pizza, but following the Korean cooking style and tastes. 

I have found a pretty good restaurant which is a franchise..u can find it both in Gangnam, 

Hongdae and elsewhere in Korea. It's called : 

"프리모바치오바치" = "primo bacio   

baci"

PRICE~ 11.000WON around 7EUROS

Actually the name sounds so strange in Italian hahah but it worth for the cooking.

You can find this restaurant just outside the EXIT 10 of Gangnam Stn, once u are out of the 

station pass "Eblin" store, and the location is pretty hidden...it's located on top of a high 

stair near a store. U better book before going there for eating..bcos it's always full..so it's 

good to avoid the queue.

The inside has pretty simple 

furnitures and a simple place..but 

confortable!^^))

I went there twice or three times with 

a friend, and I have to say that 빵* 

cream pasta* and 파스타 

*pasta* really tastes same real Italian 

style. But when we ordered 

*Margherita pasta* I didn-t like 

that much..too much cheese. 

If u go there as soon as u sit u can have bread that of course tastes of garlic oil ㅠ ㅠ and in case u 

want some more, u can ask for free refill!~ isn-t it cool?

Same with the drinks and with the cream of the pasta ...u pay one drink and the refill is FREE~

At the end of the meal u can have FREE ICE CREAM~ strawberry or lemon.

Bon appetit^^

서울숲 - a magic corner^^

Hi everyone ^=^

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another post...this time is about a corner of paradise as I call this place.

 

I'm talking about the Seoul Forest (서울숲)!

 

 

 

One day me and my friend decided to go out,hanging out at Hanriver, shopping, watching movie, dinner...  but before we decided go to see the forest, since I've never been there before. In Seoul there are lots lots of parks and they are free! You can go there: walking or some have kind of zoo inside, games like small rollercoasters made for kids etx...

 

 

 

We chose the wrong day haha it was rainy and we spent all day walking under the heavy rain. Anyway, it was really good day and had fun.

 

The Forest is located in  Seongdong-gu , so to go there, we took the Bundang Line - Seoul Forest Station followed  EXIT 3 , then go straight until you get to the large street and turn left. Cross the street and you are arrived!

It is so huge, and at the entrance gate you can choose where to go, you can choose to see : insects place, (ewwww) little deers place >3<  ,  other paths or kids games...

 

 

 

After that we went to Hanriver and to see the DDM plaza. Finally it was time to go to cinema watching : "the fault in our stars" very touching movie.

 

 

 

Haru -

 

Pieces of Korea ^^) Korean night^^

Talking about culture, and since just in some days will be the kick off of an

important cultural festival

in Canada, which I saw^^ It's called "Folklorama". This is the biggest and long

lasting festival ever!

It's a nice way for foreigners that live in Canada to join and to "remember" their

origins.

When the time of Folklorama comes, Canadians go crazy, litterally!! hahahahah

All people go the see the pavillions till late night.

There are lots of pavillions, different countries pavillions, and festivals (that

usually are dances, exibithions, typical dishes ext..) from 6pm till 1am.

I went there with my cousins, and I had fun^^)) bcos I could watch the

countries festival that I was

interested the most.

I saw many many pavillions such as: Korean, Japanese, American, Irish,

Ucranian, Italian, Chinese, Punjab, Philipino extext..

But! As you imagine I want to focus on the Korean pavillion.


In this pavillion, there was Korean typical dishes, Hangul writing, some

paintings, all under the music of BigBang "Tonight" xD

Eventually, there was the final show that consisted in the "Fans Dance", very

intresting. It was really impressive, hope to see it one day in Korea.

서울의 굉장 하루 ^^ Aesome Day in Seoul^^

안녕!! Hi Everyone((^=^))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Seoul, I met wonderful friends that as time goes by become closer and

 

closer. Most of people think that bcos of "different mentality and culture" can be

 

hard establish lasting relationships with foreigners. Well..in my case it's wrong!

 

Actually, in my case, I realised that Koreans aren't so different from us. Some

 

are shy, others are so lively and talkative kkk even more than me kkkk

 

So I was surprised but also happy!

 

I spent an amazing day with my friend that I call 언니 ^^ (in Korean it means

 

older sister, since she's elder than me :P) and she calls me 동생 (younger sis)

 

 

I really can't wait to meet her **

 

 

 

 

SELCA TOGETHER

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we meet, there was one of her friend that was also kind, so firstly we

 

went to Starbucks  (스타 벅스)  awww I love this place^^)) we chat chat chat a

 

lot, after 2 years without meeting we had so many things to tell each other^^

 

After that we went to visit the biggest and crowdest market ever, it's called

 

DDM (동대문시장 - Dongdaemun Market)

 

 

 

 

 

*But..I will talk about DDM another time ...*

 

 

 

 

 

Then, since we were hungry,  we deceided to eat supper at "ASHLEY

 

AMERICAN RESTAURANT" which is a well-known family restaurant in where u

 

can eat both Korean cusine and American cusine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After dinner I was soooo full, that I could explode kkkkk

 

 

*너무 많이 먹었다*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We returned went to cafe and then...since we didn't know what to do after...it

 

was almost 10pm...we decided to play PocketPoll - kind or billiard. I never

 

played to billiard kkkk it was so fun Yayyy

 

but this wasn't the only time I played pocket pool. ^^

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aww spent such great night!

 

 

감사!((^^))

After School Club (Arirang TV) ~ Hangout with U-KISS ♥

It's been a while, I know. I'm a terrible blogger, but starting from today I'll update more my blog ♥
So, let's speak about my last "adventure"~ *drums' roll*
I was chosen for the hangout with U-KISS at After School Club (*ﾟ⚙͠ ∀ ⚙͠)ﾉ

The hangout was on Tuesday June 10th at 1p.m. (KST). Guess what time was in Italy? 6 a.m. I was sooooo sleepy because I went out with my friends on Monday night and came back home late, moreover I spent almost the whole night online because I needed to chack my internet connection. 


Anyway, I was really nervous, anxious, excited and couldn't keep calm because U-KISS is one of my favorite group and ASC chose me! ME! An Italian Kiss Me! My sisters were next to me during the hangout and we had a lot of fun. When it was my turn my head went completely blank, it was a dream becoming true. Moreover it was soooo nice hearing them greeting me with "Ciao" ♥ and that head-heart from Eli, I was melting because he is my bias among U-KISS!


I know that I'm fangirling a LOT, but ehy, when will something like this happen, to me, again?
It was short but intense, for me, and I really hope they were glad to see the article I wrote about them ^^

Bye Bye~ or better "CIAO" ( ˘ ³˘)♥
