Safely Arrived Back in Seoul

Oh, there you are! June 24, 2015. 

Finally arrived back in Seoul after 12-day Visit to Indonesia on a Road Trip.

Oh...I was not fasting that day...^^ 

I thought I could..but..as it turned out..I was so tired...and exhausted...

and...well...I needed to take some rest. 

It took me another 2 hours to get me from Incheon to Nowon. gee....

Oh, hello there my bags....nice to see you again.ㅋㅋㅋ 

berhasil juga ya...kuat juga ....akhirnya kumasukin lima puluh kiloan lebih....membawa banyak oleh-oleh.  

cunningly...smiling. 

taking a rest along the way on board Limousine Bus....to get me to Seoul.

**-----------------**---------------------** 

Long story short...Alhamdulillah...finally I met my daughters again...after almost 2-weeks! 

and....we enjoyed our dinner at Bapuri...ㅋㅋㅋ 단골식당이죠.

*Happy to see you again, kiddos.*

콩국수가 왔다!!! Kongkuksu is Coming......!!!

콩국수 (kongkuksu) or let's see...I don't know how to describe it...I just do not want to copy and paste from the internet to 'tell' and 'describe' what it is. Just that. Ok..let me try...I think..this is a summer-only noodle soup. But, here's the catch: the soup is not just an ordinary one, it is made of grated or ground soybean (be it the white ones or black ones). Yes, the ground soybean is mixed with water, salt..(I guess) and other ingredients that I am not sure what..then mixed together with some sliced cucumber for garnish. Oh...a slice of egg, too..would do the trick to make it tastier. 

oh..I guess...are those sesames?  

And..another thing that I ordered at the same time...was....라뽁이 (rapukki). It's I-am-telling-you-I-am-not-lying spicy noodle mixed in gochujang or Korean-style chili pepper (this one what makes it hot!). Other garnishes they put in it are.....odeng (fish-cakes??), sesames (not agaiiin), one whole boiled egg, and..of course..the tteokpukki itself. Because  rapukki is a coined word that comes from a combination of ramyeon + tteokpukki. 

Ok..back to 콩국수 (kongkuksu)....I guess I'll have to eat more of this during summer....

cos it's refreshingly fulfilling.
