[Beard Papa's] Royal Milk Tea Frappe

You can taste an amazing Frappe at Beard Papa's in Busan!
It's in the underground floor of Shinsegae department store in Centum City, Haeundae, Busan, Korea.
I spotted 'milktea frappe' while just walking by. I couldn't help passing by it as I LOVE milk tea. So, I did order this 'Royal Milk Tea Frappe'!

It's just great! I can't describe more. The milktea tastes strong, which I really love about this frappe.
Like you drink frappe normally, remember to sip it, savouring milk tea. Otherwise, it will end up merely the sliced ice being left. 

I attached its menu so that it will help you prepare money and what to eat besides the royal milk tea frappe.

If you are the person who loves milk tea, don't miss it!
In addition, summer is coming :)

[Jeonju] My Trip to Jeonju - part 3

[Day 2 in JeonJu]

Breakfast

Restaurant-Sam Baek Jib(삼백집)
Sam Baek means the number 300.
Its name was derived from the fact that this restaurant used to sell only 300 dishes per day. It is so famous that queuing is very common.
We did not queue luckily but there were many people outside when we were waiting for the food to be served.

This raw egg is served first before the 국밥, the main food.
This is bean sprout soup with rice.
Its Korean name is 국밥(pronounced as Guk-bab, each meaning soup and rice).
In the soup is cooked rice.
It tastes very neat, which I think is perfect for hangover.

Strolling











Snack-Hotteok


We waited again for Hotteok. It takes long because they start to make it on getting orders.
You can see how they make Hotteok while queuing.
We ordered Cream Cheese Hotteok and Soy milk Hotteok.
Cream Cheese Hotteok is awesome.
It was my best food in this trip.

Choco Pie-PN Bakery

Do you know Choco Pie, famous Korean chocolate snack?
This PNB(Poong Nyeon Bakery) is the local bakery in Jeonju, and famous for their own choco pie.
Queuing is not unusual in Jeonju anymore.
You're going to somewhere famous? Don't dare to get it right away.
This is REALLY SWEET. I prefer the original choco pie to this PNB one.
It also sells in a box. You will see many people carrying a box of this in Jeonju.

Snack again!

It's Dawoorang Mandoo restaurant. Mandoo is dumpling.
There are only two tables inside, and most people take out Mandoo.
Many kinds of Mandoos are displayed and you tell clerks what you want.
Then the clerk will take the kidns of Mandoo you want and wrap them.
There was one empty table when we were there, so the Mandoos were heated in the microwave.

It's Grilled Shrimp Mandoo(철판새우만두).
They are awesome. I loved them.

JeonDong Catholic Church(전동성당)

Jeondong Catholic Church is at the entrance of Jeonju Hanok Village.
It's such a beautiful church, and you will see people taking pictures whenever you visit here.


Jeongdong Catholic Church was the final destination of our itinerary.
We went back to intercity bus terminal and went back to Busan.

[theBOX] cafe with an awesome night view



It's 'the BOX' cafe in Millak-dong across Centum Shinsegae department store.
I think it's not easily accessible without cars.

There were so many people despite being late that we had to go to the 3rd floor, which is usually for wedding propose or special occasions.
I wanted to stay in the 2nd floor with cozy interiors.

Here in this cafe, order in the first floor first and you will be led to where to sit.

this is the 3rd floor.



and these are what you see from the 3rd floor. It's pretty nice with lights on the buildings and around Suyoung river. 

I ordered
Ta-daaaaa!
milktea set!
A nice set of teapot and teacup, huh? :) 
with 2 pieces of macaroons :)

There is lots of milktea in the teapot, which is enough for two people to share.
Milktea is not as sweet as one you try in other cafes, but I reckon other cafes put much sugar or something sweet.
I liked milktea here!

These are what my friends ordered.
I'm not a big of green tea, but this green tea latte is pretty gooood!
I would not have regretted it if I had ordered one.

Last night with my girlies were great. I felt far better after catching up with them :)
I went to bed very happily last night =)






[BBQ] dinner with friends

My friends and I had Korean bbq for dinner. Bbq never goes wrong for any meal! Yuuuuuum! #yumsinmytum!
I just love Korean bbq so much♥♥♥

[HEALING ESPRESSO] Cafe

I went to this cafe for the first time this year. I reckon it opened last year or the year before. 
Well, this cafe is pretty ok. Firstly, it's spacious. Secondly, Wifi connection is very good. Lastly, bathroom is clean!

Americano(3500) + Cheese Pretzel(2500)
(I bet this pretzel is the same one which is sold in EDIYA. It tastes the same!! EDIYA sells it at cheaper price, though, which is 2300 KRW)



Today, I was craving for honey bread so much, so I ordered Choloat Honeybread, which was 6500 KRW. 
I liked it, but the thing is that 'WHY IS IT SERVED NOT IN SLICES?'
It was not sliced as it is in other cafes.
Well, I didn't care that much because I had it by myself. Well, it was a bit irksome to slice it with knife, so to speak, though.
I will definitely ask the clerks to have it sliced next time.
There's the other honeybread, which is Caramel Honeybread. 
Umm... I've got a feeling that Chocolat one tastes better than caramel one. I don't know why. 

Location : near Namsanejong stop(bus/subway), Deokcheon-dong, Buk-gu, Busan



[Seoul Kalguksu] Korean noodle!

I used to have this Kalguksu(칼국수) which is a kind of noodle from time to time in my high school times.
I remember its price was like 1500 KRW then. (well, almost 7-8 years ago)

Well, my friend and I decided to go there again, and it was still there!
It's in YangJeong market.
You won't miss it from the exit 3 of YangJeong Subway station. If you just walk a few steps, you will see ARITAUM, and Seoul Kalguksu is just next to it!

I ordered Kalguksu(2500KRW), and my friend Bibim(mixed/spicy) one.(3000 KRW)

It's still delicious!

[SeolBing] Cheese Bingsu

I tried Injeolmi Bingsu last time when I went to SeolBing.
I tried cheese bingsu this time.
There's cheese instead of injeolmi(in case of injeolmi bingsu) and instead of red beand(in case of patbingsu, which is basic)
I'm not a big fan of cheese, but this is AWESOME! I LOVE it!! I tried twice haha
It's 8000KRW.
It seems that there are more and more Seolbing branches all around Busan city as well as other cities. I even saw some copycats of Seolbing, but I don't feel like going to thise copycats.
Next time to Seolbing, I'm gonna try coffee bingsu or others. Or the basic Injeolmi one =)

[Busan Aquarium] to the Seaworld :)


Busan Aquarium


I went to the Busan Aquarium on the last day of February, which was the last day of half price promotion. Those born in the horse years could get 50% discount on the entrance fee. (Its original price for adult is 21,000 KRW)


As I was born in the horse year, I could get discount, of course.
I think I was in the primary school when I visited here at a young age.
On the way to the entrance~

Welcome sign on the way to the underground :)
You reach the underground aquarium by escalator. 

There was Penguin Feeding show at 3:30. I hurried to the penguin section, many people already being there.
An aquarist feeding the penguins.
There were not many penguins, though. The Aquarist said it's breeding season when penguins are warming their eggs now.
Penguins are small Jackass Penguins, which were ADORABLE!
I could not stop taking pics of those adorable creatures like paparazzi.




They were so swift that lots of pics are blurry or out of focus sadly :'(

Piranha tank
(just fyi, that's a fake skeleton)
I liked its idea of setting.

Hermit crab

In this section, you can TOUCH some sea creatures like starfish and shark eggs.
Well, I didn't try. I've done it when I was young.


What adorable otters!!!

Shark Feeding Show! There were already so many people, so I had to watch the show at a distance like this. A cheerful lady hosts the show, 
They fed huge stingrays as well as sharks.


a tank of jellyfishes
Looked quite alien
striped fish whose name I don't know.
sea dragons!
Well, on the explanation board were two kinds of sea dragons ; weedy sea dragon and leafy sea dragon.
I could not see leafy sea dragons.

A big fish tank!



sharks!
I was waiting for these sharks to turn up so that they would be in my pics.

I found NEMO in the aquarium!

Before heading to the souvenir shop, I could see two cute poroises. They kept moving up and down, and it was hard to capture their faces. I feel sorry that I don't have any pics of those cute two.

There were heaps of cute stuff in the souvenir shop. I wish I had had more than enough money to buy those cute soft toys :(

No childish one in an aquarium!! #StayYoung #forevayoung :)


ps. Busan Aquarium is at Haeundae beach.
