Korean Barbecue (Hongdae)

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates but I've been busy eating since I got here 4 days ago haha. How's Singapore? It's Seoul-awesome here! Haha. Do follow us on twitter @strictlyours for instant updates! (:

We're staying in Hongdae and we're really lucky to be staying here! Its like a doraemon. Clubs, food streets, shopping streets, theatres and cafes are in abundance! There's everything here. The nearest cafe is literally 10 steps away. What a great location (:

X brought me for my first meal in Seoul at a Korean bbq place near the apartment. We went to see a pet shop and just ended up eating at an eatery nearby. First meal of course must eat Korean Barbecue right! Haha

I don't know how to speak or read Korean at all so I can't tell you what's the name of the restaurant! All I can do is provide pictures. So here they are!

Yum yum, look at the meat!

Veggie with meat, salt, kimchi, garlic, radish and chilli. I was a good girl and ate one that X made for me. The veggie tasted really horrible but after all the flavours kicked in, I must say that this was pretty good!

Bean paste soup! This was really tasty, but a little too spicy for me.

It was raining that afternoon and it was very chilly. The piping hot soup and barbecue meat kept us warm and happy. It was a good meal! I also ate vegetables for the first time in years haha.

This meal cost us 22,000 won which is about $25! Not exactly cheap but pretty worth it

We've been to several quaint and extremely lovely cafes in the past 4 days and we'll be updating about them! Do stay tuned! (:

Love, K

    Thanks for all the recommendations! Was wondering if you could share the name of the apartment that you stayed in Hongdae?

      The apartment that we stayed in is no longer available as the landlord has sold it!
