Seoul/San Francisco + Updates
POSTED ON Sunday, May 26, 2013 AT 3:15 PM \\
I'm finally back with some updates and alot of these are so backdated that I don't even know where to start!

I'll just let the pics do most of the talking.

First up was my trip to Seoul and San Francisco with X last month! Snapped a photo of the cherry blossoms we saw on the way to the hotel. So pretty! You don't just have to go to Japan to see sakura ok?
First meal in Seoul. These are just the appetizers. I'm always happy in Seoul because I can always nibble on these whenever I'm really hungry and the food (main course) is not ready yet. My favorite is something that resembles fishcake but they didn't serve that at this particular restaurant.=/
 Went to the supermarket and bought my favorite banana milk.=) This is awesome, a must-try!
 We also had my absolute must-eat in Seoul. It's called 'Jim-dak' - not sure if that's the correct spelling but that's how we pronounce it. This eatery is in the popular Myeong Dong district. I like that the chicken is tender and boneless, the sauce is sweet yet slightly spicy and it comes with this really QQ vermicelli! Our portion costs about SGD30, but it's so huge that it's enough for 2-3 people.

Then it was off to San Francisco. Woke up really early for seafood at this really popular joint, 'Swan Oyster Depot'. I know it's strange to have seafood this early, but we wanted to avoid the long queue.
 Our crab salad. It's really fresh. We had the clam chowder, raw scallop and a few other dishes which I can't remember! Didn't take many pictures here because I wasn't feeling very well.

Then it was off to do some shopping. I always stock up on my nail products here...its SO much cheaper!


The Vitagel nail strengthener was only USD15, and I've seen it retailing at $88 here in SG. The boss of this nail/beauty supply wholesaler is really nice too, always throwing in freebies whenever I'm there. The 2 bottles of Gelish cuticle oil was FOC from him!

Bought the Josie Maran Argan Creamy Oil Cleansing Treatment from Sephora. I don't think this product is available here though. I've been reading a lot about the benefits of argan oil and there were quite a few raves about this product so I decided to give this a try. In the end I kinda gave up on using it because you have to use the muslim cloth that comes with it...found it a bit troublesome haha.

At the end of the trip my bag was a mess. *bleah* Hate packing up.



 Was glad for a chance to spend time with X because I got to share certain things I like with him and vice versa. He also accompanied me for late night shopping at Dongdaemon where he waited til almost 3am without any complaints! Thank you for your patience love.=)

Went to check out Coriander for dinner at East Coast when we were back in SG.



The escargot was highly recommended but I found it lacklustre. To be fair I prefer a stronger garlic taste so it could just be me. The chilli crab pasta was really nice, was a bit too spicy for me halfway through so I passed it on to X to finish it for me LOL. I will definitely like to come back and try their butter crab pasta next time!

I also present to you my latest craze...

Pandora bracelet from X. I cannot emphasize how much I love my bracelet. X didn't really find it pretty at first, but now he grudgingly agrees that it looks quite nice. Of course by now I've added quite a few more charms to my collection, so more on that next time. It is pricy though, since just that bracelet with 3 little charms already cost like S$300? Plus the other charms that I've added on, the total damage on my wrist is around $600 now.-_-"

That's all for today! More updates next time....Ciao^^
