Fresh baked goods and desserts! For coffees, petite is more like a medium, or Grande if you speak Starbucks.
Huge Buddha statue. You can make a donation and leave your prayers on roof tiles that will be used in the newly renovated temple!
A larger, more "premium" rest stop! There are two food courts, one located outside that offers snacks and finger foods; the one inside has hot soups, noodles, and rice dishes. Very nice place to rest!
The place where they stores the Kings portraits. You can walk around the complex and admire the hanok buildings, and learn historical values of the records. Caution: rain and dirt equals mud.
Dumplings, dumplings, and dumplings. In various sizes and colors, but ultimately they all taste very similar. I recommend the bun and smaller shumai looking ones. The pan fried dumpling is a bit oily.
The small bus terminal is where you'll be arriving from Seoul. Grab a taxi outside to head to Hanok Village. Ready to head back? Go to second floor for your tickets. Gate #2 is to Seoul.
The original 300zip. Perfect comfort food for a rainy day. Gukbap (soy bean sprout soup) hits the spot perfectly with its rich broth. Not in the mood for soup? No problem, try their famous bibimbap!
In the middle of the Hanok village, 300zip offers limited but very delicious comfort food: bibimbap and gukbap (soy bean sprout soup with rice). Both have amazing favors. Come early to avoid the line.
First rest stop right when you get on Highway 44. The 1st of many rest stops to come in the next 20 minutes of drive. You'll want to stop at the next rest stop as they have something erected for you..
Other than the famous Abai soondae and squid soondae, soondae guk (soup) is also a great choice for the chilly day. Flavors will explode in your mouth!
Abai Maul, or Abai Village, is definitely worth the 2.5 hours drive from Seoul. The food here cannot be found anywhere else (Abai soondae and squid soondae) as they originate from North Korea! So good
Best gimbap, ever! Several choices for you to choose from. Go in, pay at the cashier, and watch the gimbap masters constructs your delicious roll in front of your eyes. Add extra toppings for ₩500!
You need to pull your own weight here, literally. For ₩200/person, you get to go on a "boat" and pull yourself to the other side of the canal. Great way to work up your appetite to Abai Village.
You may not be fortunate enough to be accepted as one of the Ewha elites, but you sure can dress like one.! Head to the souvenir shop and pick our your tees and jackets! I wanted red one but no luck.
Great place for quick breakfast in the morning and delicious snack on the way home.
Nice, clean, and huge shopping mall. Air conditioned, food court, and plenty of bench around for you to rest your feet.
Very popular place for the students and office workers alike. Very reasonably priced for very generous portion. Great delicious food. #1 jjambong, #2 jjajangmyun, #3 tangsuyook (sweet and sour pork).
Very healthy option for shaved ice. Injeolmi shaved ice is their best seller. Something different then the ubiquitous strawberry binsoo.
Hidden from Four Square, right above the supermarket, very close to Lotteria. Great quick breakfast spot. Hot breakfast sandwich with coffee for ₩5,000!
Lots of good food options at Gwangjang Sijang. However, since everyone is making the same items, need to do some research to find the original or really good food stall.
Lots of individual designer brands at Doota. Although the price is a bit more expensive than other DDM malls, Doota's layout definite makes it easier to navigate. The whole place is bright and clean.
Located close to a fashion school, young designers have shops here to show off their talents. Also lots of bars and cafes in the side streets to keep you hydrated.
I don't always shop for clothes, but when I do, I shop at Off 5th. Great styles for much reasonable pricing, especially lots of selections have 40% off last sticker price.
Great place to cure your pearl tea/boba tea cravings. Their Earl Grey Coffee, however, did not have enough Earl Grey flavors... how unfortunate.
Need to get your hands on English books for a reasonable price? This place is it! Not only do they have Hot Sellers, but even US law case books and Emanuel MBE study guides... Definitely a rare find.
What a satisfying meal for Sunday brunch. The portion is unbelievable. The ingredients and selections are definitely surprisingly tasty. If feeling adventurous, try their very tender Lengua Omelette!
The service might've gotten downhills since few years ago, but their food is still as good as ever. Want to set your tongue on fire? Their Szechuan Style Spicy Fish is better than Water Boiled Fish.
