Food Photography Trip: Korean Cuisine (Bibimbap, kimchi, cold noodle)

Before I went to Korea, I only knew 1 Korean food: Kimchi. In fact, Kimchi in Korea is just a free small side dish every time you order food in a restaurant. Although I don’t like the smell and the taste of kimchi (too sour), there’re still other kinds of Korean food that I like, for example: bibimbap and Korean instant noodle, but not cold noodle. I had an unfortunate experience of ordering cold noodle and still regret it for the rest of my life, uughh. When I ordered it, I thought it would be nice to have something cold on a hot day. However, I was surprised when it came with scissors. Apparently, you have to cut the noodle with scissors since it's too hard for a plain-normal-looking fork. Don't ask me about its taste, I'm (or my tongue is, to be exact) still trying to forget it. Lesson learned: "cold" is best associated with drinks, not food.

If pork is “haram’ for you, be sure to ask before you order (there’s this sausage-like food in which rice is mixed with pork blood)

Before you eat bibimbap, mix them while it's hot

Street Photography: Romantic Koreans


If you are an avid fan of Korean drama series, you’ll know that the central theme of (almost) all the series is about love. I don’t know whether because of that or it’s just the way they are, PDA (Public Display of Affection, which is “unusual” for Asian people) by Korean couples is not something strange in Seoul, especially in places that sell “romantica” such as Seoul Tower with its love padlocks.

Street Photography: Fashionable Koreans




 Korea is famous with K-Pop, from songs, dances,
boybands, to drama series.
When I had a holiday in Korea last June, what caught my attention most was about how fashionable these people are; old, young, women, men.The make-up and skin products are both for women and men. And although it was summer at that time, with temperature could reach as high as 30 degrees Celsius, men wearing a complete suit were not hard to find.
