Hey Peeps,
Daniel and I went to Suwon the other day just to get out and about. We basically just wanted to get out of the apartment and do something without exhausting ourselves. Of course this had to be after he watched some NBA game :-P
Anyway, while walking around we came upon so many different restaurants. Literally, we were walking down this one particular strip and building after building after building after building after building... was one restaurant after another. Many were Korean but there were also American, Turkish, Thai, etc. We both saw one that caught our eye. It was called Melted Monkey and the pictures outside looked yummy! If you have ever eaten at a restaurant in the States called "Melt" then you will understand when I say that was what we were expecting from this place.
It was kind of disappointing to be honest with you. They were quite literally just grilled cheese sandwiches that we could have easily made at home and paid much less. Mine had little tiny pieces of jalapeño peppers as did Daniel's but he got chicken and I got bacon. I tasted and saw like no bacon on my sandwich. The weirdest thing was that it seemed like the grill cheese had no flavor even though it was 4 different kinds of cheese...? The fries were good and those we both enjoyed. I also liked my "cheese yogurt ice cream." To me it tasted like cream cheese that was mixed with sugar and then frozen and turned into soft serve deliciousness.
We went on in search of a baby boy outfit to buy for my sister's baby. She expressed that she was not interested in ROK baby boy clothes even though I think that they are super cute. Even Daniel said no. We found a simple outfit that Daniel and I both agreed on and looks very baby normal but still cute.
Also we stopped at a small ginseng shop. Daniel told me that ginseng is supposed to be like a natural energy boost. In the store we got what look like double shot sized bottles of Korean red ginseng tea. It has a piece of ginseng root in it. I think that it tastes like honey water with dirt (yes, as a child I tasted dirt and I am not ashamed). Like dirt tea!?!
Anyway here a couple of pictures!
Love always,
Camille

i bought Siena a cute Asian outfit when she was little..I do not think Randi and PJ were fans either. hahaha
ReplyDeleteSome of the clothes aren't blatantly Koean just different looking. No one would think they were from an Asian country, I don't think anyway.
