Because Seoga & Cook is simply the best

I must say, I have never tasted such awesome pasta in my life. After eating in Seoga & Cook, I would NEVER EVER go back to those shitty chains like Pastamania.

Why can't any restaurants in Singapore cook these western food as well as Seoga & Cook in Korea? After all, Korea isn't as much a westernized place as compared to Singapore.

So anyway, you would definitely regret coming to Korea and going back without trying Seoga & Cook. Everyone who has tried Seoga & Cook can vow for its taste!

So thankful that I returned to Seoga & Cook for the second time with a bunch of 7 friends. We could order a variety and I just can't help feeling SO blissful with every mouthful.

Here are the dishes we tried and yes, I am recommending ALL of them.

Carbonara

The cream sauce is super yummy and we just can't get sick of the creaminess at all.

Shrimp Pilaf

The Pilaf is just like fried rice and the flavouring is so good!

Seafood Spaghetti

The soup is just so awesome! It is buttery and sweet in the savoury way. After we were done with the noodles we just slurped the soup up!

Tomato Seafood Risotto

I usually don't like any tomato based dish but I am really impressed with this. Really delicious!

Pork Steak

We also tried something non-pastaish and the pork steak was not bad. I thought the meat was a little tough (good pork should be soft and tender!) but the sauce is really nice! The salad was nice too!

So you heard me right, GO FIND A SEOGA&COOK if you are coming to Korea. There should be one in all of the pops area. I went to one in Sinchon and one in Hongdae.

Will keep going back there for more!

FOTD: 알밥, 판메밀

알밥 (al bap, in the foreground), which is fish roe mixed rice with vegetables on a hot stone bowl. It tastes similar to bibimbap but is less spicy and really delicious. The soup that came along with it was heavenly! It was somewhat like miso soup, but clear.

Price: 7300 won

판메밀 (pan memil, in the background), cold buckwheat noodles that is dipped in sweet soup. It is similar to Japanese cold noodles, just that it is sweet instead of salty. Rather nice on the first mouthful but might be easily to get sick of.

Price: 6500 won

Korea 2011 - Myeong Dong, famous for everything n nothing!

Myeong Dong 명동 lies in the heart of Seoul, it is known as a "must-visit" and a heaven for shopping.. I have a second opinion to it though. Yes, it is comprehensive and you can find multiple shops of the same big brands like Etude House, Face Shop, Nature Republic etc, and it won't be hard to find your favourite international brands like Forever21 etc here as well. However, most clothes are more expensive than those you can find elsewhere in Seoul (like Ewha), and because it's a "gold mine" for shoppers, it's even harder to get any discounts or bargains here.

However, it is still a "must-visit" for the city buzz, good food, and overwhelming fashion-candies.

Korea 2011 - Garosugil and Rainbow Cafe

Garosugil 가로수길, or Tree-lined Street in english, is a really nice hideout near the Apgujeong area in Seoul, and can be accessed from the Sinsa subway station.

As the name suggests, this entire street is less than 1 kilometre but filled with many interesting cafes and shops within the short buildings. The whole lane is pretty artistic and each individual store is a compilation of everything nice.

Korea 2011 - Found Gold in Ewha!

Ewha or Ewha Women's University (Ewha Daehakyo/E-dae/이대) is a popular hang out for the young people in Seoul.

It's located just stops away from downtown, also one of the university populated areas. It can be compared to Bugis in Singapore, because there is a university nearby and is almost always crowded with youngsters. hahah.

It is really one of the best shopping areas in Seoul, I say. There are so many things to see there, and IT'S THE PLACE TO FIND CHEAP STUFF! My friends and I went crazy shopping there. haha.
