Seoul 6D5N: Samcheong-dong (三清洞)

Direction to Samcheong-dong (三清洞) from The National Folk Museum:

Just walk across the street from the Main entrance of The National Folk Museum.. Haha.. Then turn left and walk along the street.. You would see a lot of creative art displays, such as this:

Haha XD

Basically, we just followed the crowd (again~~~) where they came out from, then we went straight into that direction. We were kinda blur as we had no idea where we were (even though we had a map with us!!) We kept on exploring and wanted to find where exactly is this Samcheong-dong when the fact is, the whole area right opposite the Museum is already the Samcheong-dong! Zha-dou~~ LOL

Few photos taken while we walked along one of the streets:

You are right, it's a sloppy little hill..

If you could notice, there are staircases in between the buildings,
which lead visitors up into another shops located further in.

Ok, enough with street photos, there was this shop that we had our lunch. We were so lucky to have stumbled upon this shop while we were unbelievably famished walking all the way up the hill. Not only the food was super filling and spicy (it was too too too spicy for me though.. Until the extend that I couldn't stop the mucus from running down from my nose and the boss was staring at me with a concern pair of eyes when I literally couldn't stop pulling out tissue papers from her tissue case.. LOL), the staffs were friendly too (they are well-versed in Mandarin), and most importantly, the shop was just nearby the entrance to the Bukchon Hanok Village. 

The uncle over there is the owner, who can't speak English nor Mandarin.
But he was also the one pointing us the direction to Bukchon Hanok Village on a street map. *salute*

The bottom row was a-la-carte.. We chose the one on top. With the same price (KRW 8,000 per person),
a set of dishes was shared by my Jimui and me. Really worth it!!
I especially love their spicy stir-fried baby octopus, the one which made a scene out of me!! LOL

Actually, the whole tranche of streets intersecting each others are like a maze to me lar. I didn't really take much photos 'cause our focus that time was to look for the Bukchon Hanok Village. I did record some short videos though, would upload it perhaps? Hmmm..

After coming back from Bukchon Hanok Village, we had our high-tea session at 王嘉茶, one of the places that you might want to take note 'cause the entrance to the Village is right beside this Cafe. Probably one of the reasons we chose this cafe to refuel ourselves too :D

Top left: Mango Ginseng Yam Juice (KRW 6,500); Bottom left: Caffe Latte Hot (KRW 5,000)
Top right: Blueberry Rice Bread (KRW 1,500); Bottom Right: Green-rice Rice Cake (KRW 1,200)

Nothing better to do, so took one photo of Korean-generated receipts.. LOL

Actually, there are countless of shops selling varieties of DESSERTS!! Ranging from waffles, ice-cream, our kind of "ice-kacang" which I have no idea what they call it there, Korean-style snow flake, and many more that you could think of~~ But we were too full for that, first, and secondly, we were running out of budget. Haha.. 'Cause we allocated portion of it for our coming destination - Insa-dong!! Haha..

Oh well, that's all for now. Will update about the Bukchon Hanok Village in my next post. Stay tuned! * In case you have not read about our Seoul 6D5N itinerary, please click here :D
