뽀득뽀득 소시지빵 ; Sausage Bread

Unlike the Koreans who eats rice for breakfast,
this foreigner here stick to her typical staple of bread and milk. 

Somehow Korea's bread varieties is abundant but it is always revolve around sweet rather then savoury e.g : strawberry jam bread, red bean jam bread, custard bread etc.
Then at the corner of the basket I spot a shiny jem.

BEHOLD, THE SAUSAGE BREAD ! 
Stated as "Premium Sausage Garlic Onion Sausage Bread"

1,500 won! look at the colour ! 

To taste the "true taste" of the food, I decide not to microwave it.
Usually, we buy food, we dont microwave... right ? (Or am I the only lazy one...)

Suggested way of serving : Microwave for 20s at 1000w.
First bite in, you taste a pretty mild garlic taste in the bread.
Which is pretty good actually.
Then you sink your teeth into the sauce. (a mixture of garlic onion sauce(or maybe mayo) and cheese ) (i presume about the sauce, but it did taste like that.) (thats a lot of parentheses i put. HAHHAAHHAA. (HA.))
The sausage is like german sausage. Springy and strong and full of yums.
There are bits of fats in it. Just like a real processed german sausage. (lols.)
The bread is kind of flat, not the typical kind of American sausage bread that is fluffy.

Overall, the taste is pretty good, I will probably eat this again.
There is another flavour promoted as "소세지빵 메콤 데리야끼" aka "Sausage Bread Spicy Teriyaki"

Yes, thats how the original sausage bread should looks.

I will probably try that next time, not sure if my stomach can stomach spicy eat the morning.

해피 버블데이;Happy Bubble Day

I am so eggggcited to try this new "HAPPY BUBBLE TEA" ~ 
Introduced about 5 days ago in Korea, there are 2 flavours.

Milk tea and Taro (Yam) Tea.

I decided to try the milk tea version.

2,000won ~ 
Bubbles at the bottom.

Bubbles bubbles/ pearl.
hmmmmm .... hm.. hmmmm... (this is actually a bad hmm.)
I am not sure if I was expecting too much.
After all I come from a country where bubble tea outlets are overflowing.

The bubble tea was totally unexpected.
It taste more red tea with sugar then red milk tea with sugar.
With that said, I estimated the sugar level to be at least around 70% or so.

The pearl/bubble was extremely disappointing. It taste like ... Q-ball (not sure if you guys know).
Overall, the drink was a major disappointment.
Its so bad, I want my 2,000won back. :'(

As of Oct 2014, I dont see this in convenience store anymore. Thanks GOD.

사골곰탕국밥; Pale-bone broth

Every winter, the biggest comfort food have got to be hot soup. No further explanation.
And my personal lazy shortcut, other then calling for delivery is instant Gukbap (soup & rice)

Introducing 사골곰탕국밥.
사골(Bone Marrow? )곰탕(Broth)국밥(Soup rice)
Available at convenience store throughout Korea at 3,500won. 

Not to be confused with the everybody's favourite Seolleongtang 설렁탕, Sagolgomtang 사골곰탕 is a much simpler version, whereas Seolleongtang takes usually 10hours to boil to perfection, Sagolgomtang is like the lazier version that also uses the beef leg bones as base stock but shorter time to boil.

I got a 사골곰탕국밥 complete with soup and rice and vegetables (woohoo!) from the friendly gs25, strangely it was kept in the "fridge compartment". I wonder if its the sauce that needs the cooling ~ 



 Package emphasis : 4 mins 30 sec okay ! 


The Original ! 


Opening ~ 

Laying out the goods for inspection. 

Fulfilling your intake of vegetables. 

Pouring in the sauce. 


Stir and wait for 4mins 30sec. 
TA-DA ! 

Verdict : FULL OF LEEK. And this brand is fortunately, ( unfortunately for me) full of it. I spend half my meal digging out the leek after the photo taking for review purposes. LOLS.

Other then that, I love love love the soup base. Flavourful enough, takes the cold out of my winter and makes me feel so loved all over. Can't believe it only took me 4min 30secs to feel the love of someone painstakingly boiling it for me.
The rice was fine, not too soggy like porridge nor too hard/al-dente like ... risotto.
I will probably eat this all the time, if it was not so expensive. I could get a instant noodle for half the price. But then again, the lack of "fake" ingredients made me pretty sad. I was half expecting some dried up meat dump into it after all it is suppose to be meat broth ....
But overall, NOT BAD INDEED.

얼큰우동 ; Spicy Udon.

As compared to ramen, I prefer to eat cup udon although most of them belongs to the more pricey range and must be kept in a cooler temperature as they have shorter a shelf life. 

Instant udon is pretty hard to find in Singapore so when i go back to Korea, I always eat them like there is no tomorrow.

This time i tried the 얼큰우동. 얼큰(spicy)우동(udon). 
I got it at gs25 for either 1,200won or 1,500won.




Udon, Dried ingredients, Sauce/soup.

Pouring all in.

Filling up the water to water level ~  

After waiting for about 3mins. Look at the chili bits ! 


My average breakfast/lunch with an apple yogurt drink. 
My Verdict : Spicy spicy ! The spiciness in the soup is pretty mild but everytime i bit into a chili bit, i get a bit of chili injection. For those who cannot take spiciness, this is definitely a no no. The soup is a little shoyu based. This comes in 2 sizes and this is the smaller one. The bigger one is priced at 2,200 won-2,500won.

I would not mind eating it again if this is the last thing on the shelf, the taste is pretty average... This just made the yardstick for being a great boring average udon.
