Winter in Korea: Day 2 (Part 2)

Browsing our Korea travel photos, I only realized it now that we visited the most number of places on the second day of our trip. We went to five different places (Jongmyo Royal Shrine, Changdeokgung Temple, National Museum, Namsan Seoul Tower & Myeongdong Shopping District). This probably explains why we woke up late on our third day and missed eating our breakfast. 

Going back to the other half of our second day itinerary, we went to meet my bestfriend and momshie Rob so we can finally see more places as a complete group. Since we all haven't taken our lunch, we went on a Barbecue Place called "MEAT-ing" in Hongdae. For a $13 lunch buffet, it was a pretty good price. However, when we told out Korean Landlord about the place, he was insistent that the place was not the best barbecue place. He suggested other better places that serves good meat. 

(Sorry, we forgot to take a photo! We're starving so no one thought of taking a photo. Hahahaha)

Now that we have our energies back, we decided to visit the most popular tower in Seoul--Namsan Seoul Tower. I knew the tower because of the Korean Drama "Boys Over Flowers". It was the place were Geum Jandi and Goo Jun Pyo were supposed to meet but Gun Pyo got stood up and waited in vain at the tower on that cold winter night. I'll never forget that scene! (I swore to myself that I have to visit this place every time I come to Korea, I'm glad I still do. It's my second time!).

It's a sin to not have any photo taken with this love locks around the tower if you visit this place. 

Meet my bestest friend forevs Shai! Read my previous blog posts (click here) about our friendship and you'll know why she's my bff! Ooopsies the benches in Namsan Tower look bent but trust me it's just the "style" we didn't break it.

Of Sweets and Friendships ;)

I might need to apologize first for the long hiatus of this blog (without even a notice) but I'm back and hoping that this will be a start of a hobby of updating posts on a monthly basis, at least.

So to start with, Last Friday night, one of my closest friends called and tolc me that she's bringing me to a new place (and it's pink! her color!) which excites me because it''s been awhile since I last went out with my friends due to "thesis" (yes, the never ending stress of data gathering/analyzing/writing). I'm glad I'm almost done with thesis so I feel fine going out with friends without worrying too much about it. 

Saturday came and here I am with my close friend in a little pink cafe that almost looked like a real-life doll house, I could live in it forever. So to give you a clue of how it looks like, here are pictures that are drool-worthy and even pinterest-worthy, too. 

Rainbow Cupcakes ;)

Helloo There! It's been awhile since I last updated...and this post intends to apologize for the month-long hiatus without notice. Soo, two weeks ago I made this cute cupcakes for amulek's first birthday! It turned out quite pretty so mom and I are planning to add this in our choices for pre-orders forthis coming Christmas!Yippie!

FAQs:

1. How do you color a whole cupcake with different colors?

           I first divide the cupcake dough to seven equal parts and color them separately with food color (edible!). I just add little by little of all the colors until the cupcake base is filled up.

2. What's your recipe?

          As much as I want to post the recipe, I'm afraid mom will kill me (hahha). You can find other recipes of cupcake online and all you need to do is color them with food color.

3. How long does it take to make a batch of 12 rainbow cupcakes?

         15 minutes baking (oven) time and preparation time might be a little longer because it's time-consuming to fill up cupcake bases (30 minutes). So, more or less 45 minutes!

That's for today!
How about you? Would you love to eat a rainbow cupcake?
