eat drink and buy

I was in Korea for 2 weeks....i just realized i didn't shop like crazy like in the past...hmmm..is it because i am getting old? or is it because i just know i don't need them. whichever it is...i know i'm saving some money too :p 

actually i did buy something but it was not crazily bought. i always like Nature Republic from Korea, so i bought some snail lotion and some deodorant spray. the most important is, they are cheap. 

One reason i don't buy much is: i don't want to check-in my luggage. hehe..it takes too much time to wait...*ahem* i think that's a sign of old age. no time to waste!


Even though i didnt buy much, one thing i continue to do is: i ate like a horse. Korean BBQ every day. I love their pork. so juicy, so tender. the thought of it made me hungry. This time we tried something different. Our korean colleague took us for chicken meal. When i said chicken meal, it really means CHICKEN....big pot of chicken mixed with chilli, veggie and korean rice flour rolls. it was superlicious.



I noticed Korea has lots of cafes....lots of them. i think they like to sit there chit chatting...which is nice. That night, after the big pot of chicken meal, we went to "Korean Dessert Place" for cold dessert. The restaurant was quite full...occupied by many families and couples... My US colleague and German colleague weren't so keen on cold, sweet dessert but they were amazed with the taste. We have red bean, yogurt and cheese, cranberry, ice cream toppings. It was so smooth and the taste was so good that both of them kept scooping for more...u know the dessert came in a big bowl...in Korea, people would scoop directly from their spoons to enjoy..but because we are not so close, we decided to get each person a bowl and a spoon and we scooped off using a "public" spoon...i found it normal since in HK, we do that all the time but it was weird for my Korean colleagues. Hahaha...every countries have different pet peeves~






I think we have many special / unique things in Malaysia, unfortunately, we are not good are marketing them. Look at the desserts. They look almost the same as our ice kacang...too bad we havent tried to advertise and make it more creative to make people have a different impression and feeling. Like what Jenn said in her post, I'd pay for more if i can feel the difference~~~

I still doing that to share with close friend and family. But with colleagues better not doing that.

Have plan a trip with my sister to Korea this coming Oct, I think I will gain few pound if I eat BBQ pork and dessert everyday.
