And one of my fav - the ginseng chicken. They add mee sua in theirs - slightly thicker than what we're used to in sg but ooo so yummy... I wish they do that here... 

 

One of the items on the itinerary was an hour-long shopping thing at some underground mall that was so decrepit and stuffy we popped out after 10 mins. And what a wise decision that turned out to be!

Discovered this quaint little fish market selling all sorts of kimchi, weird-looking sea/river creatures, and even whole pig heads sitting on countertops! How convenient for ah-longs. "Hmmm... this looks nice and fresh. Just the right size and facial expression. It'd look mighty good hanging on xxx's door!" :p

 

 Also chanced upon this really adorable ah ma on the streets of jeju selling what I've always wanted to try - those dip-stick-into-soup-pot thinggies! Been wondering what they are everytime I watch those Korean dramas. Guess?  It's actually sticks of fish cake! Kinda like the 甜不辣 in Taiwan. They also have this deep fried pastry thing that's like our ham jin piang but instead of red bean, they're filled with some sort of caramel mix. Very very addictive. Regretted not buying more. Hee...

 

 And of course, beautiful maple leaves, scenery + lotsa touristy touristy stuff...

 

 

 Last but not least, our favourite pose...
