Day 3 in Korea - Great Dinner and Busy Myeondong

 After the Everland visit, we proceeded for dinner. The only seafood buffet in our trip in Sea & More. It's modern very clean place. Julie didn't introduce its wide range of seafood available but lamented about how delicious was the marinated raw beef. I tried once and it was nice. Then again, raw beef was not our likings.


Dinner place
Very nice interior

There were basically seven stations in all. The main, (seafood, meat and salad) , chef-grilled meat, Japanese, (drinks and fruits), Korean and dessert stations. Their medium raw beef was very nice. Melted in my mouth. One could only have one order each. I took a chip on the table and put it at the chef-grilled station. The waitress would bring it to the table when it's done.

Table 32 was my dining table
The medium raw beef. Blame my poor picture taking skill for the bad picture.
All kinds of tea were available














Dessert station - most of the cakes were moist and I don't mind paying for any of them.
Main section

Snow crab claws? Dry and bland. Not suggested.
No room for satay though it looked tempting
Wife asked why even potato also needed to be taken picture?
Must try the shells and the chicken wings!
Kimchi sushi with brown rice!
The main section which was nothing to write about. Fried mee, sorted vegetables and the likes
Spicy fried small crab. I ate a lot of them

 There's another fruit that we never tried before. The yellow melon. It was so out-of -this-worldly sweet. We even ate the outer skin! Though I wish I can compare it with the Malaysian melons. I can't because it was too good. Must must try one.


 After dinner, we checked in Seoul Sejong Hotel which was very near to the shopping place, Myeongdong. As soon as we put in our bags, Wife and I walked towards Myeongdong. We're that enthusiastic.

The room which we stayed in Seoul Sejong Hotel

 The place was very brightly lit. It was 8.10 p.m. The place was packed with locals and many Japanese girls. And ladies too 8-)
The first view as soon as we walked into shopping area
Nature Republic was the first stop
 There were promoters trying to lure customers with free gift (mostly facial tissue) into their shop. When we finished window shopping in Nature Republic, we felt bad for not buying anything. Felt awkward of whether to give back the gift. But eventually, as we entered more shops, and more facial tissue, we got used to the free gifts (facial tissue!) and actually felt the promoters should handed out facial mask to get our attention. Facial mask normally sold for 10 000 won for 10 pieces. Try to imagine the value of 1000 won as RM1. If they want us to go to their shops, they should have better marketing tactics.



 We walked for two hours. It's a let down because we expected to see many snack selling stalls. But there was hardly any. Then again, it's Chuseok time. Their main festival of the year. And most probably they were still having holiday.


 Wife thought of having the odeng (fish cake boiled in hot water) but we're still full after the buffet.




 It's been an eventful day. And we walked back to our room for a good night sleep.
