Korean Hanbok Family Photoshoot at Bukchon Hanok Village (December 2022)

charlene-seoul-s1_49
Annyeong Chewys! It’s been such a really long time since I updated this dusty blog of mine that I had almost forgotten my login password hehe. Time flies~ Both littlemisschewy and minimisschewy are in primary school now. So before minimisschewy entered Primary 1, we went on a winter vacation to Korea (Seoul and Busan) with my parents last December (in 2022).
charlene-seoul-s1_43
My last trip to Korea before this was a couple trip with misterchewy. We did a hanbok photoshoot as well but it was at Gyeongbokgong and it was in May or June so the weather was pretty good. For this family trip, I really wanted to have everyone dressed in hanbok and I’m glad that nobody had any violent objections LOL.
charlene-seoul-s1_40
Since it was mid December, the weather was really cold. Sub-zero temperatures if I’m not wrong.. We rented our costumes from Hanbok That Day and they had a pretty nice variety of hanboks for adults and children. Tip: Always book the earliest rental slot and arrive at least 5 minutes early to avoid the crowd.
charlene-seoul-s1_32
We booked a one-hour photoshoot via Sweetescape and were very lucky to be assigned a local photographer who converses well in English and is also very talented as evident from the photos here. You can look up @jinkim.photography on Instagram.
charlene-seoul-s1_37
Like I mentioned, the weather was crazy cold and freezing! We actually donned our thick jackets but had to chuck them on the roadside whenever we stopped for photos. It was pretty hilarious!

Some lovely shots of the grandchildren and grandparents.

The following photos were actually taken before we walked to Bukchon Hanok Village. We had arrived a lot earlier than our photoshoot time slot and decided to seek refuge from the cold at this pretty Baskin Robbins ice cream shop while waiting for our photographer to arrive.
charlene-seoul-s1_12
What’s better than having ice cream? Having ice cream in cold winter weather! Brrr!
charlene-seoul-s1_16
Yup ice cream is always a good idea!

Korea/Seoul Aprโ€™19: Goblin Jumunjin Beach, Raramuri & Playground Brewery

A32A9473

Annyeong! Omg I’m so embarrassed that this actually took ages for me to blog about. Finally blogging about the last day of our Korea 2019 trip!

A32A9475

Since we were driving, we made a pretty long 2.5 hours journey to a very famous and popular Korean drama filming site!

A32A9439

JJA-JAAAAAN! Yeah it’s none other than Jumunjin Beach, which is the original filming location of Goblin, starring Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun, Lee Dong-wook, Yoo In-na and Yook Sung-jae.

A32A9447
A32A9419

The Korean drama was really popular when it was released in December 2016 and Jumunjin Beach was flooded with throngs of Goblin fans. Since we were there about 2 years later, the beach was pretty empty so we kinda had all the time in the world to take photos. The downside was that it was difficult to get people to help with the pics but luckily a Korean guy was there with his mother and we managed to enlist his help.

A32A9416
A32A9414
A32A9428
A32A9451
A32A9434

Bringing a tripod is a good idea too!

A32A9466

Heard that this restaurant along Jumumjin Beach used to do very well due to the high amount of human traffic.

33798664728_ed87a63ff8_o

We then made our way to another Korean drama filming site, Raramuri along Deungmyeong beach. This place can be seen in dramas such as Encounter, Goblin and Legend of the Blue Sea.

47623241982_e79acdc4da_o

It was a pity that it was not like what it seemed in the dramas. This place looked kinda run down and deserted. Nevertheless, it was nice to make a trip here.

47623241922_96004c2b07_o

Had a simple lunch to warm nearby and the food was quite good.

46967450294_f0d40db432_o

On the way back to Seoul, we stopped by Playground Brewery for some drinks and bar bites.

A32A9489

Love the tap handles! So unique!

We loveeeee the Korean bbq at Wang Bi Jib and decided to return for a meaty feast with some soju bombs!

47688874321_0ee9788e36_o

Just sit back and relax while the servers would do all the magic.

Korea/Seoul Apr’19: Gonghwachun Jajangmyeon, Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village & Nanta Show

A32A9360

For our remaining two days in Korea, we rented a vehicle so that we could travel to places that were further away from central Seoul which were also not so accessible by public transport. There were some minor hiccups when we picked up our rental car in the morning but luckily, our itinerary was a very relaxed one that day so we weren’t exactly in a hurry to get anywhere.

A32A9400

After about an hour of misterchewy driving really cautiously (because left-hand drive!) on the road, we reached Incheon Chinatown (์ธ์ฒœ ์ฐจ์ด๋‚˜ํƒ€์šด). This place is certainly very traditional and retains the flavors of China. If you have an extra day or two, I definitely recommend that you stop by this place of interest.

A32A9402

There are two things which you will not miss at Incheon Chinatown – Jajangmyeon (noodles in black bean sauce) and Bing Tang Hu Lu (candied Hawthorn stick)!

A32A9276
A32A9273

The hubs and I adore Korean jajangmyeon, which was the main reason why we decided to travel to Incheon Chinatown. We heard that Gonghwachun (๊ณตํ™”์ถ˜) serves the best jajangmyeon in Korea! Not only that, the famous and popular restaurant has over 100 years of history!

A32A9259

Gonghwachun offers a few different types of Jajangmyeon and we went for the special one with loads of premium ingredients like prawns and pork. The noodles were served separately so we poured the gravy with ingredients in and gave everything a good stir before tucking in. It was a really delicious and satisfying treat!

A32A9263

We also ordered Tangsuyuk (ํƒ•์ˆ˜์œก) as we often see this crispy, deep-fried pork dish drizzled in sweet and tangy sauce being eaten together with jajangmyeon in Korean dramas.

A32A9267

Gonghwachun (๊ณตํ™”์ถ˜)

Address: ์ธ์ฒœ ์ค‘๊ตฌ ๋ถ์„ฑ๋™3๊ฐ€ 5-6๋ฒˆ์ง€ ๊ณตํ™”์ถ˜

A32A9281

There were many other Chinese snacks and delicacies at Chinatown but we were too full to stomach anything else after the filling meal at Gonghwachun.

A32A9283

We also read that Sim Ni Hyang sells very yummy mandu, also known as meat dumplings!

A32A9287
A32A9289
A32A9291
A32A9294

This is the building where Gonghwachun’s restaurant was originally at. It is now converted into a Jajangmyeon musuem! I totally forgot to check the details and the museum was not opened that day ๐Ÿ™

A32A9296

Well, at least we got to eat the jajangmyeon which we were really craving for!

A32A9309
A32A9397

At Incheon Chinatown, you can also find a very cute and colorful place known as Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village (์†ก์›”๋™ ๋™ํ™”๋งˆ์„) where all the characters that you have read about in various fairy tales come to live in the form of painted art or 3D sculptures.

We then went to Shinsegae. Did not buy anything but this photo with Park Seo Joon is good enough for me! LOL.

40701336703_53cc4a2cd0_o

Dinner was at Wangbijib (์™•๋น„์ง‘) which translates to “Queen’s House”. Read many positive reviews online and decided to try the Korean BBQ there. We loved it so much that we went back again the next day!

47667862661_0edb4f32d2_o

Service was top notch. The staff were so attentive that not would they keep checking when the meat was ready to be flipped over, they would also use a pair of scissors to snip out any charred ends before serving it to you.

46752100115_925e04ba23_o

Another one of my favorite Korean actors, Gong Yoo! ๐Ÿ˜€

40701573613_47edb3340d_o

Baskin Robbins seems really popular in Korea and I couldn’t resist a cup!

47615257452_3e365fbeff_o

What’s a trip to Korea without watching the Nanta Cookin’ Show! We got our tickets early via Changi Recommends which was really convenient too!

40701446253_6f127b2c07_o

No photography and videography is allowed in the theatre but I had to snap a photo of this because the Nanta crew was really entertaining and displayed superb camaraderie. Everyone was roaring with laughter throughout the 1.5 hour show!

47615257702_8c060b8972_o

This concludes our 6th day in Korea! Next post will be on our last day of our Korea trip! ๐Ÿ™‚

Korea/Seoul Apr’19: Nami Island, Gangchon Rail Park & Garden of Morning Calm

33785866758_f756071b05_o

Annyeong chingu! This post covers our 5th day in Korea! We had just returned to Seoul from Busan the night before and I’m glad we got our day tour package to Nami Island, Gangchon Rail Park and Garden of Morning Calm via Changi Recommends!

33777234928_b8224b9237_o

It was a nice change as we did not have to fuss over the logistics of booking entrance passes and transportation. Shuttle bus service is provided so all we had to do was just to hop on and off at the designated timings! The hubs could finally take a break from all the navigation he had to do over the past few days.

40688116393_ea8c0df828_o

There are 3 pickup locations namely Hongik, Myeongdong and Dongdaemun. We selected Myeongdong as it was closest to our accommodation and we picked up some delicious gimbap along the way!

A32A8928

Our first stop of the day was Nami Island! Gotta take a photo with these adorable snowmen figurines! My first trip to this attraction was more than 10 years ago, after watching the famous Korean drama “Winter Sonata” starring Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo. I’m sure most of you would know that the popular series was shot on Nami Island!

A32A8925
A32A8931
A32A8934
A32A8938
A32A8942

There are a number of activities which you can do at Nami Island, one of which is to take photos of/with the beautiful flowers!

A32A8947

A collection of photos from Winter Sonata!

A32A8951
A32A8955

I remember there used to be this life-sized cardboard cutout of Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo in this exact same pose.

A32A8963

Our very own version! Can pass? ๐Ÿ˜›

A32A8967
A32A8980

We saw some people riding rented bicycles around the park but I don’t know how to cycle so we stuck around taking photos.

Our local guide told us to meet him earlier if we wanted to eat the best Dak Galbi on Nami Island and since it was lunch time, we thought it was a great idea! I’m not sure why we opted for the non-spicy version though since I’m a fan of spicy food! We also ordered some tteokbokki and garlic fried rice. Mashisoyo~!

32720536257_a0d9b165b4_o

Do note that this isn’t included in the tour package but it’s really yummy so you wouldn’t wanna miss this!

Untitled

Spent the next hour on the shuttle bus to get to our second destination of the day, Gangchon Rail Park! To be honest, I was most looking forward to this part of the day tour! It seems like rail bikes are fast gaining popularity in Korea.

A32A9100

If you wanna have some privacy with your friends or other half, I would strongly recommend paying a little bit more for the private rail bikes. The queue is also significantly shorter.

A32A9099

This was the queue for the shared rail bike which was snaking all the way to the back. Also, I strongly suggest that a trip to the washroom be made before you start queuing for the rail bike tour as the queuing plus activity itself would take about an hour.

A32A9112

One of the perks of joining the day tour is having your local guide snap photos for you!

A32A9110
A32A9130

Wheeeee! And off we go!

A32A9145

Pedaling is fairly effortless only if all parties pedal at the same time. Once in a while I would be too engrossed with taking photos, leaving misterchewy to do the pedaling on his own. LOL.

A32A9148

The Happy Bubble Tunnel is one of the highlights of Gangchon Rail Park as there are different colored lightings and bubbles as we passed through the tunnel. Very pretty!

A32A9153
A32A9154
A32A9160
A32A9176

We were having the time of our lives!

A32A9169
A32A9135

It was certainly a very fun experience and I highly recommend trying out this activity!

A32A9224

The last stop of our day tour was the Garden of Morning Calm, which we ironically visited in the evening! By then we were already very tired but we were thankful to be transported in the comfortable shuttle bus which is included in the day tour package.

A32A9242

We were given slightly more than an hour to tour the garden and since it was fairly huge, misterchewy and I narrowed down to just two areas for some photos.

A32A9248
A32A9192

We reckon that the pavilion situated in the middle of the pond is the most beautiful sight at the Garden of Morning Calm. Also, “Love in the Moonlight” starring Park Bo-gum and Kim Yoo-jung was shot at this location! *Eyes shooting hearts*

A32A9205
A32A9193
A32A9218
A32A9230

There’s also a nice little white church which can accommodate about 8 people.

A32A9237
47663475281_f39467a19a_o

Even though we had a filling lunch earlier, we were famished after the rail bike activity and walking around the garden. Grabbed a quick bite before we boarded the shuttle bus back to Myeongdong and this marked the end of our superb day tour to Gapyeong!

A32A9216

The day tour to Nami Island, Gangchon Rail Park and Garden of Morning Calm by Changi Recommends is highly recommended and you can book it easily via this link. Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Stay tuned for the next! ๐Ÿ™‚

Korea-Seoul Apr’19: Gyeongbokgung Palace, Cheonggyecheon River, Tosokchon Samgyetang & Ganjang Gejang

DSC05528

Here’s a continuation of what we did on Day 2 of our Korea trip. We spent the morning having a photoshoot in our rented hanbok at Gyeongbokgung Palace which you can read about here.

DSC05530

After changing back into our casual attires, we grabbed a quick bite around the area and went back to Gyeongbokgung Palace (๊ฒฝ๋ณต๊ถ) for more photos. This palace is steeped in history and its beauty is magnificent. We only took some photos outside where an admission ticket is not required as we did not intend to spend a lot of time there.

Next, we visited Cheonggyecheon Stream (์ฒญ๊ณ„์ฒœ). It is 11km long and runs through downtown Seoul. In the summer, many people can be seen sitting by the stream and dipping their feet in the water to keep themselves cool from the sweltering heat.

We spend a short time at Tongin Market (ํ†ต์ธ์‹œ์žฅ). It is very famous for their bento boxes called Dosirak. First, you need to change your Korean won to old style coins which you can use at various stalls. See something you like and you can simply exchange your coins for the food items while filling up your bento box.

When we passed by Toksokchon Samgyetang (ํ† ์†์ดŒ ์‚ผ๊ณ„ํƒ•) earlier during lunch time, we saw a horrendous queue and decided to try our luck again. So we returned at a rather odd timing at 4pm! The restaurant was quite empty so the service was very prompt. We had the highly raved about ginseng chicken which was really nice and comforting to have in the chilly weather. The chicken was tender and I enjoyed dipping it in some salt and pepper for extra flavour.

46741139405_faac994a97_o

The seafood pancake was fluffy and contained a chockful of fresh ingredients. The portion is good for sharing among 3 to 4 people if you are also ordering the ginseng chicken soup. Highly recommended!

LOL I was really overjoyed to see Park Seo Joon! ๐Ÿ˜€

46741187075_e547c4cfb5_o

From watching Korean dramas, I had been very intrigued by this Korean dish called Ganjang Gejang. Basically, it is fresh raw crabs marinated in soy sauce and looks sooo delicious. I had been wanting to try this since forever! Just like Korean bbq, there are both buffet and a la carte restaurants for ganjang gejang as well. Since it was our first time, we decided to go for a la carte as we believe the quality is better. Morever, misterchewy wasn’t sure if he would like this dish.

46932822584_884194b40b_o

We went to the famous Ganjang Gejang Alley in Sinsa-dong, where you can find about 6 to 7 restaurants serving this raw marinated crab dish. Based on positive online reviews, we decided to go to Wonjo Masan Halmae AguJjim. Prices are steep for this Korean dish that is complicated to prepare. We ordered a serving for 2 people which cost 60000 Korean won.

46932848854_fc06682be7_o

As expected, I fell in love with Ganjang Gejang at first bite. It was exploding with a multitude of flavors and the gooey gelatin consistency was really amazing. The dish was served cold which made it really appetite-whetting too. If you can handle Japanese uni, you may be able to stomach this dish.

46932849624_5184456279_o

The sauce was a little on the saltier side but went astonishingly well with plain rice. No wonder this dish is also known as “rice thief” or “rice stealer”; the sauce is so good that you will end up mixing spoonfuls of rice with it.

Korea-Seoul Apr’19: Hanbok Rental and Photoshoot

EQ7A3787

Dressing up in a traditional Korean hanbok was the first thing on my must-do list when I was planning our Korea trip. I think it is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the culture and get a unique experience especially if you visit tourist landmarks such as the royal palaces while wearing the hanbok. If you like watching Korean dramas or movies that portray traditional Korean culture typically in the Joseon Dynasty, you will definitely find joy in this hanbok experience.

EQ7A3790

There are many hanbok rental shops and we highly recommend Hanbok Girls for a number of reasons. Firstly, the rental price is very affordable, at prices starting from 10000 won only. Prices depend on the type of hanbok (traditional or special) and also the length of duration of the rental (2hr or 4 hr). There are no hidden prices and everything else is FREE. Lockers are provided at no extra cost so you can leave your bags and clothes in the locker while you walk around freely in your hanbok. Hair service and accessories are also provided. If you need a bag (for ladies) or a head gear (for men), or even footwear, these are all provided for your use. Secondly, the location of Hanbok Girls is superb! It is just a 3-minute walk away from both Gyeongbokgung station and Gyeongbokgung Palace. This means you spend less time travelling and can have more time for photos at the palace.

EQ7A3797

Thirdly, Hanbok Girls has a decent selection of hanbok although everything is on a first-come, first-served basis. You need not worry about not knowing how to put on the costume as there are a few staff who will go around helping customers at the fitting rooms. Lastly, if you want some professional photos taken, there is a studio located inside Hanbok Girls! Speaking of convenience, you can have some photos taken indoors before you head outdoors for more photos!

EQ7A3838

We met Joon, the photographer from INT Studio and he took some photos for us in his studio before we walked over to Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was a good idea because we were already warmed up and got to know one another a little before the outdoor shoot. Joon told us that the weather was not so good but I guess that is from a professional photographer’s point of view. Apart from the weather, I was also a little worried about the crowd but photographers always have this magic (no I’m not talking about Photoshop here) and most of the photos seem to portray misterchewy and I in our own world lol.

EQ7A3834

Joon is very friendly and easy to talk to, which makes us feel very much at ease throughout the photoshoot. He also gave us many ideas and guided us with the various poses. We also noticed that Joon used a variety of camera gear, which looked very heavy for him to carry around, but it also shows that he is committed to delivering a dynamic set of photos for his customers.

EQ7A3821

Joon also has a keen eye for detail and knows where are the good spots for great pictures. We expected the crowd to be scattered all around the Gyeongbokgung Palace but Joon hows how to avoid and prevent unwanted photobombers.

EQ7A3827

Photoshoots are usually quite tiring, especially if you are looking at anything more than one hour. However, Joon did not rush through the shoot and the pace was pretty comfortable and leisurely. We actually enjoyed the photoshoot and it was really fun!

EQ7A3831

There are just too many photos to share so here are some of my favorites. Let me know what you think! ๐Ÿ™‚ Joon is very popular and his sessions get filled really quickly. You can contact him at intstudio.seoul@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to book a slot!

Untitled

After 5 years of parenthood, misterchewy and I decided that it was time we go on a couple trip! We share a love for Korean dramas so it’s a no-brainer that Korea would be our holiday destination! Actually, the hubs wasn’t keen on watching Kdramas as he thought that all Kdramas were soppy love stories until I managed to convince him and then he got hooked when he first started watching “Familiar Wife” starring Ji Sung and Han Ji-Min in August last year. Through numerous Kdramas, we picked up some Korean words and phrases, learned a bit about their culture and also got drawn to their food and soju. As we had to trouble our parents to take care (his on weekdays and mine on weekends) of the kids, Korea is also an ideal choice of destination as one week is sufficient to cover a few tourist attractions and activities. In fact, we managed to visit Seoul and Busan over our 8D7N trip.

Blossom Airport Lounge

Even before we boarded our plane, we treated ourselves to some hot food and drinks at the airport lounge. Access to airport lounges is no longer restricted to just business flyers, priority pass holders or travellers who purchase annual membership. Through Ready To Travel app, travellers can now book a single access lounge entry to SATS Premier Airport Lounges! Some facilities of the airport lounge include buffet spread, massage chairs, widescreen cable TV, shower facilities, workstations with internet access, free flow of beverages and extensive selection of newspapers and magazines.

Since we checked in two hours ahead of boarding time, we indulged in the yummy spread. The piping hot laksa was so good that we went for seconds!

We even concocted our own whisky highball drinks. Hehehe.

Perfect space if you want to have a quick nap and do not wish to be disturbed.

Our flight was scheduled to take off at around 1am but there was a slight delay. Somehow, we were assigned the last row of seats and it got kinda irritating with many passengers visiting the washroom throughout the entire flight. Thank goodness for these Kakao hooded travel pillows which helped to block out the light and noise around us.

We had a pretty restful sleep (not travelling with kids, that’s why!) and soon, breakfast was served! A pity the food wasn’t that fantastic.

Happy to know that we have landed safely in the Land of Morning Calm!

No queue at Shake Shack in Incheon International Airport!

Boarded the Airport Railroad Express Train (AREX) to Seoul. It’s one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to travel to Seoul from the airport and vice versa. And of course, we whipped out our reliable Ready to Travel pocket wifi as soon as we touched down! Do you know that the pocket wifi comes with FREE delivery? Definitely saves you a lot of hassle especially when you are busy with your trip planning! Book yours here! Btw, please do not use Google Maps in Korea. We recommend Naver Map. You can download the app on your mobile device and input the destinations.

Since we were not travelling with the kids, misterchewy and I decided to stay in an Airbnb! So far our experiences were satisfactory but we also hear some horror stories from time to time, so book at your own discretion! I found this cute Hello Kitty themed apartment on Airbnb and the reviews are all positive! Also, our host is awarded as a “Superhost”, and we can attest to that. She has been very responsive to all our messages and patient with our enquiries.

A32A8548

Although the apartment is small, I feel that it is very cosy and fit for two people with not more than two huge luggages.

A32A8546

The shower head is attached to the sink so it took us awhile to get used to it. Toiletries and bath towels are also provided but this depends on individual Airbnb hosts.

A32A8549

Besides the price (only $60 per night during our period of stay), we loved the strategic location! Only a minute’s walk to the train station and we could also get to Myeongdong by foot in 10 minutes. There are also two convenience stores and many eateries just downstairs.

A32A8553

After freshening up, we went for lunch at Eulji Myeonok (์„์ง€๋ฉด์˜ฅ). If you like cold noodles or if it’s something you think you will like, do pay this restaurant a visit! It’s very popular among locals. There is also a spicy cold noodle version.

Ikseon-dong Hanok Village (์ต์„ ๋™ ํ•œ์˜ฅ๋งˆ์„) is gaining popularity in recent years. It is a quaint place with a few alleys lined up with shops selling vintage clothings and some bric-a-brac, and also cosy cafes where you can sip coffee and watch the world go by.

A32A8571

We had to wait a while for the crowd to clear before taking this shot. There were throngs of people even on a weekday afternoon!

A32A8578

If you like collecting vintage or cutesy stuff, Ikseon-dong has plenty of these.

A32A8584

I was actually quite tempted to bring Peter Rabbit home!

The crowd at Ikseon-dong was starting to give me a headache so we didn’t spend much time there. We adjourned to Ihwa Mural Village (์ดํ™” ๋ฒฝํ™”๋งˆ์„) and had to climb a long flight of stairs. Phew!

The peak of the cherry blossom season was nearly over and we were thrilled that we could still see many beautiful blooms all around us.

Stopping by for an iced cold drink before more walking.

As the name suggests, Ihwa Mural Village has many interesting murals and art installations, revitalized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s public art “Ihwa-dong Naksan Project” in 2006.

A32A8639

Definitely a nice place to visit and capture some unique photos.

We did the love lock thingy when we went for our honeymoon in Europe a few years ago and we just had to do this cheesy thing again in Seoul! Yup we travelled to Namsan Seoul Tower (๋‚จ์‚ฐ์„œ์šธํƒ€์›Œ) for this!

Kinda looks like we are exchanging wedding rings right? LOL.

Since we were there and it was still quite early, we paid 10000 won each to go up the Observatory. There is no time limit so you can enjoy the beautiful view of Seoul and snap as many pictures as you want.

Namsan Seoul Tower (๋‚จ์‚ฐ์„œ์šธํƒ€์›Œ)

Address: 126 Namsangongwon-gil Yongsan-gu Seoul

We also made it a point to visit a few craft beer places during our trip. Almost everything on the menu contains beef, so we only had nacho chips to go with our drinks.

After a long day, we were too tired to go anywhere else for dinner and decided to settle for a fuss-free one just below our Airbnb. The hubs had jjajangmyeon.

32687845957_f114fbf458_o

I opted for udon as I wanted something hot and soupy after being out in the cold.
