DAY 9 in SEOUL: A day of relaxation~

Day 9:
• Relax at Siloam Spa
• Visit Lotte Mart
• Walk around Seoul station

Our last full day in Korea!!~~ Since our Korean won has been depleting, we decided to cook brunch this morning! We visited lotte mart last night to buy the ingredients for our brunch!

Thought this instant noodle is not spicy.. but it is still spicy.. >.<

Cooking in progress

Our own version of army stew!!

And brunch is served!

Stomach filled, our next stop is Siloam Spa! Time to relax before heading back to Singapore!

The spa is located here! It's a walking distance from Seoul station and also from our airbnb apt!

The slope to Siloam Spa!

Some of the rooms available~

There is also a bath area at the basement that we did not go since you need to be naked around everyone else~~ >.< It was quite a relaxing time in the spa.. Even though we felt that the rooms were hot, eventually we got used to the heat and managed to try all the rooms!

There are also shops serving food inside, so you can really just stay inside the spa as long as you want! You can also stay overnight that the spa too! They have rooms with lots of bunk beds!

After our spa, we returned to the apartment to bath and later, just walked around Seoul station and had our last dinner there! Seems that I don have the photos of the dinner?? If I managed to find, I will update this post again~ >.<

And... that's the end of Day 9!

DAY 8 in SEOUL: Non-stop eating at Sinsa!

Day 8:
• Explore Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil Road
• ~~Head to N Seoul Tower~~ (Too cold and too lazy to go >.<)
• More shopping at Myeongdong

I trying to finish up my posts on my Seoul trip by this month.. hopefully.. Then I can chill a bit before it's time to start on my upcoming Tokyo trip in April...

Time to check out from our Gangnam apartment! We made our way to Sinsa station! Since we are carrying a lot of things, we looked for lockers in Sinsa station to put our bags while we shop and eat around Sinsa! After our loads are lightened, we went to our 1st stop for the day, Deux Cremes Tarts Seoul! For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<

So many pretty tarts!~

Our order of drinks!

Tarts!

The tarts were all very yummy! We are off to a great start for today! :D We walked past Line Store while heading to Deux Cremes, so after eating, we went back there!

Line Store!

Located along here~

Macarons

Ice cream

We had fun exploring the store but we didn't buy anything :/ I am not really a fan of the characters and the products are not very cheap. I would rather spend my money on other things! ;)

We walked around some more and we spotted Sulbing! I planned to go to the outlet at Insadong but we didn't have time! So lucky! So of course, it's time for desserts :P For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<

YUMMY!~ Another nice food into my tummy! Missing their bingsu here in Singapore now... >.< Definitely must visit Sulbing when you are in Korea!

There are quite a lot of shops and small streets to explore in Sinsa but I don't recall buying much there myself~ Need to save my limited money >.< We had lunch at Sigol Babsang 시골밥상! It's a store that serves Korean traditional meal! Literally our 3rd food stop for the days! :D For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<

Store front

We ordered 3 sets with additionally beef bulgogi to share! And look at the amount of side dishes!

It was a satisfying and delicious meal! After strolling a while more at Sinsa, we went back to Myeongdong. I think one of us wanted to look for some bags for souvenirs...
