Cafe The Air – 카페디에어

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This was in my list few years back then, but till now i still have not got a chance to try it. I wonder why i didn’t notice it during my stay in Hongdae!

It’s in the list because of their green tea bingsoo, their generous amount of green tea ice cream on top and compliment the bingsoo with some healthy crunchy nuts! It costs 12,000 won, it’s little bit over for me but i still think it worth a visit. There are only 3 choices for bingsoo : green tea, mango and milk. Mango surely is the most popular one after green tea.

The decor is cozy, i like the ambiance and the space are huge and comfortable. Cafe The Air serve main dishes ( they have set lunch but make sure you don’t get too full before their bingsoo!)

Direction :

It’s located between exit 1/9 of Hongdae station and Exit 2/3 of HapJeong station. I still wonder i did not notice this place because i surely pass by this area at least hundred times…

Jeju food hunt – 기억나는 집

Literally means a place that you would remember.. When i think about this place, the only thing came into my mind is ABALONE!

As i said, i am not a seafood lover but if the seafood is fresh, abundant and yummy… why not?!

This place is located at Jeju and they only serve 2 dishes 해물탕(haemul tang : seafood soup) and 갈치조림 (kalchijorim : braised hairtail). I might not go there because the price is kinda pricy for me but that’s what a bowl of seafood ( i mean a full bowl of abalone) would cost. Imagine how delicious is it when you add on ramyeon on the soup base when it is full with the goodness of abalone, octopus, squid……. That’s even more killing me than the abalone!

My Food List – 주해수산 It’s time for some seafood!

This i guess is kinda popular among Koreans, not so much of a tourist thingy i guess ..partly could be because of the price.

주해수산 is located at Shin Chon, it is popular with it’s king crab ! what else can i say ?

This is in my list mostly because it makes the seafood easier for you to eat and it’s crab, not just normal crab but king crab!!

Omg! Looking at the photos just can’t stop drooling! The price is as expected expensive but i think it worth to try!

I know sometimes you need to have a video to make you drool more! ( LOL )!

My Food List – Galchi jorim at 고객식당 in Jeju!

I am not sure i should go this place because the galchi jorim (braised hairtail) is expensive (35,000 Won). I have saw some that commented there is nothing special about it but some are like they really like it. I guess i will go ( like i am going very soon -,-;) if i have free time.

고객식당 is popular among Korean because it appeared on some kind of food show. They are famous for their galchi jorim.

Anyway i just put it in my list just in case because the picture looks yummy and it’s in a market (shijang) so is easy to plan to go while visiting the market.

My Food List – Melon Bingsoo

Bingsoo is one of my favorite ! I like shaved ice!
When you talk about Melon Bingsoo, the most popular these days would like this picture below.

However! Recently i found this! I know there is not much different from the top one but still this looks new to me. I adore their idea of flipping the melon flesh and make it looks like a whole big melon! Underneath the melon flesh there are 2 types of it. One is yogurt with cheese cake ( <3) and another one is the traditional patbingsoo. Hope that they would be available all year round!

Besides the melon bingsoo, this one below i forgotten about the name but is kind of a traditional version of bingsoo. The picture looks nice. Hope i got a chance to try it out 🙂

My Food List – 자연별곡 (Korean Buffet)

To me, i always have lots of plan where to eat this and that but as you know, food in korea always come in big portion (or i would be stuffed by those 반찬 – side dishes before my main course is ready -,-) so i always ended up cancel some of my plans RELUCTANTLY at the end.

Well now, since i have this 자연별곡 (chayeonpyulgugk) I can have many different types of awesome Korean food in a single plate ( smaller portion ) ^^  There are meanings in each word of  자연별곡 :

自자 : 제철 식재료, 자연을 맛보다. Seasonal ingredients, natural taste
然연 : 왕의 밥상, 역사를 맛보다. Dining table of the king. taste of history
別별 : 전통의 재해석, 별미를 맛보다. Interpret tradition, taste delicacies.
曲곡 : 전국 방방곡곡, 팔도를 맛보다 Savour the taste all over the countries (from eight provinces ) 

They have lots of branches in Seoul like hongdae, myeongdong etc. The menus are different for lunch and dinner so as the price. For WEEKDAY lunch, it’s 12,900 won/person whereas dinner/weekend/national holiday it’s 19,000 won.

The lunch hour is from 10am to 4pm; dinner is 4 pm to 10 pm. If you are going on weekend/national holiday, the time would be just form 10am to 10 pm (no restriction on lunch or dinner). HOWEVER!  like normal buffet there is a time limit .. it’s 2 hours.. 😦
