Seoul Food to Go Go

Apart from kimchi and bibimbap, Korean food is so varied and delicious.  Check out these photos.  Yes, we ate and ate and ate… all washed down with soju (approximately S$1.80 in Seoul versus S$18 a bottle here in Singapore!)

New Year New B’day Part 2

I know… I have been lazy updating my blog… Anyways… Its never too late!

Last year we went to Bangkok for my birthday celebrations, this year it was Seoul…

Partners in crime included Alvin, Benny, Mubi, Rasul, Yuan and my mum!

the boys... & mum!
the boys… & mum!

While it was a whirlwind trip for the former 4 chaps, it was nearly 2 weeks for Yuan, mum and myself.  The two of them were going for a ‘pick-me-up’ procedure while I played ‘maid’ to mum… 🙂

We walked everywhere (a lot!), shopped, ate, drank (love Soju!) and even partied one Saturday night on “Homo Hill”…

Re-spectacle Guys

We were trying on pair after pair of designer sunglasses in Myeongdong, Seoul, and decided to do a “Asia’s Next Top Model‘ moment.

There were only 3 photos, and the one whose name was not called was eliminated from the competition, leave 3 top finalists…

Guess who did not make the cut?  Let me know… 🙂

Cabochon Gem

tucked away at the end of the road is this gem of a boutique hotel called cabochon

We discovered this gem of a boutique hotel off Sukhumvit 45, Bangkok called Cabochon that is a total delight in terms of decor and ambience.  Service was excellent when we were there and I hope it stays like this in the years to come..

Check out their site on www.cabochonhotel.com
