Seoul 2014 - Day 7 - Hongdae Free Market, Ewha Women’s University

Today was spent at doing last minute shopping at Hongdae  and Ewha Women's University. Nothing much to emphasize but well, enjoy the walking and buying!

But before that, time for our early lunch at Gogung. This place is famous for its Jeonju bibimbap. Really had a great meal here and it's our very first and only authentic bibimbap in Seoul this time round. Had the seafood pancake too.. Loved it! 

I would definitely recommend this place and well, will be back when I'm back in Seoul!

After the heavy brunch, we headed to some shopping at Myeongdong before heading to Hondae.

Well, time for a late lunch now. Did a last minute google search and found this place:

(심슨탕) Sim Seun Tang for its Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Base Stew). Not a very big place to start off with but it's definitely cozy. The service crew did not speak much English and the menu is totally in Korean. Well, some pointing, some nodding and some simple English and that's it - we ordered our lunch .

If you are a kpop fan, maybe you can spot your idol's signature hidden somewhere!

A long day of shopping and we ended up eating Korean BBQ near our hotel - 
Ssamsarang. Why here? Because we always saw it when we visited the convenience stall but we did not have the time to visit it. Well, lucky us that we managed to step in and had our dinner. Simply loved it there. It is a very nice traditional Korean BBQ restaurant. The owner is very nice and even cooked for us and taught us the correct way to have our food. Simply loved their service and well, the food too!

Direction:
Chungmuro Station exit 8. look out for the 7-Eleven convenience store. This restaurant is just a couple of shops away.
