Korea Fall 2019 - Part 2 Garden of Morning Calm

Having left Nami Island a little later than scheduled, we loaded back into the car and went to Garden of Morning Calm. To be honest I've never heard of this garden before and had decided to visit because it was a recommended course from Klook with the car rental. Now that I've seen it myself, I can confidently recommend visiting this site!  

It was late afternoon when we arrived so our time in the garden was limited. Walking around in the garden was a wonderful experience. It wasn't too crowded, the weather was perfect, and there were a lot of opportunities to take pictures. The garden was divided into several sections and unfortunately we didn't have enough time to explore all of the vast garden.




Miss Kiki was right in her element there. She seems to prefer gardens than theme parks even though she enjoys either one. She walked around happily with huge curiosity, Sometimes she stopped to look at the plants, other times it was for insects and such. Surprisingly they didn't have a lot of mosquitoes there.

Miss Kiki said that this tree is special. I don't remember why though..., sorry! I'll have to ask her again next time.



Near said tree stood a flowering tree with a bench underneath. There was an instruction on how to take pictures like those K-drama covers :D 


















We finished the day with a BBQ dinner in Myeongdong area. Did you know that beef is a lot more expensive than pork in Korea?



Our driver dropped us off at Myeongdong and we took the subway back to our hotel. That was our first full day in South Korea! Please stay tuned for the next posts...

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
