Korea #002: Se7en's Yeolbong Restaurant

If you are a k-pop follow, the name "Yeolbong" shouldn't be unfamiliar to you. Opened by celebrity, se7en, this restaurant currently has a few branches in Korea and been proven a popular spot for other celebrities to dine in.

Last year I went to the one in Garosu-gil and the jjimdak (which means stewed chicken) was so fantastic that I visited the outlet in Ehwa this year!

Alight at Edae station and exit towards Ehwa Women University. Walk straight down the road. At the intersection in front of Ehwa Women University, turn to the left and continue to walk straight down. You will pass by Etude House and New Balance. It is directly behind New Balance.

 This is what you will see (behind New Balance shop!)

Walk up the stairs and mid-way you will see se7en poster!

 You can find lots of celebrities (like Big Bang, 2NE1, Kim Hyun Joong, SHINee's Onew, Miss A's Suzy, etc) photos here too!




Warning: The portions are quite big!

Korea #001: T-Money


What's the very first thing you need to get when you reach Korea?

T-Money Card! This is just like our ezlink card in Singapore!
BUT besides the normal card, they also have it in different forms that you can make it as a handphone accessory!

Simply pop into the nearest convenient store like GS25, 7-eleven, family mart or MINISTOP!
They can be seen easily behind or in front of the cashier counter.

They have my favorite Rilakkuma!

 Bought this Mickey T-Money 2-years ago and it is still working well when I traveled to Seoul in May this year.

Have fun tapping in Seoul! :D
