Day 3 dinner at Noo Na Hol Dak

After exploring the trickeye museum, we grabbed dinner at Noo Na Hol Dak.


Had to try korean fried chicken in Korea!


The fried chicken was delicious and doesn't leave an oily aftertaste. The sauces and condiments served goes well with the chicken.


We also managed to try gyeranppang (egg bread), which I find is just ok, or maybe I didn't pick a popular store.

Trickeye Museum, Seoul

When we were walking around, we came across a stall selling dragon beard candy in Insa-dong. We bought a pack because we were highly amused by the fact that the person working there speaks good Malay and that he was able to explain the entire process of making the candy in Malay.


I found this cute little beret that matches my dress in Hong Dae.


For our next stop, we went to the Trickeye Museum, which is also covered under the Discover Seoul Pass.




Before entering, we were instructed to download an app which was supposed to help enhance our experience there.


Once we've entered, we quickly learned how to use it and it truly enhances the experience.


The app helps bring your picture to live, by giving it motion.


The dinosaur section was interesting as when you look up at the screen on the wall, you can see many little dinosaurs interacting with you.


The app also turns a 2D picture into a 3D one.



This Trickeye museum is definitely more fun than the Alive museum as it is more interactive.


Surprisingly, there is also less crowd here compared to the other one.



As the images are moving about, you need to have a bit of patience to snap the right pic too.



There is also an ice room there which is filled with ice sculptures.


As we were not dressed for this room, we quickly exited after having a look.

Alive Museum, Insa-dong

After lunch, we went to the Alive Museum in Insadong.




The entrance to this museum is also covered by the Discover Seoul Pass.


This trick art museum is not too bad as there are many exhibits.


There is another attraction nearby called the Dynamic Maze which is not covered by the pass, but has a discount.


I feel that there are many families here.


Overall, the place is easy to maneuver.


heehee.....whatcha doing?


Miss, what would you like?


I really like this black and white cafe section and we took many pictures here.



J, who are you proposing to?



Here are more pictures from the Alive Museum.





After that, we went on the Seoul sightseeing double decker bus which is good as you can easily hop on and off. But as the weather was bad, we didn't hop on and off. If you get motion sickness easily, it's best not to sit on the top section of the bus.

Best shaved ice at Cafe Bora and bbq at Cha Iyagi

After returning the hanbok, we couldn't wait to get some shaved ice but along the way, we passed by this small little store that sells freshly made chips and fried shrimps.




The fried shrimps were ok, the outer coating was a bit on the thick side. 


I suppose they are more famous for their freshly made chips as we were the only one who ordered shrimp when we were there.


Next stop was Cafe Bora, which serves sweet potato shaved ice.



The shaved ice topped with the thick sweet potato cream was super delicious. The sweet potato chips were good too. If you love sweet potato, this is a must visit place!



After that, we walked to Insadong to grab Korean bbq at Cha Iyagi. 




I first saw this place on a Youtube video by Mina Oh and I found it interesting that they had a piece of charcoal in the rice that they served in bamboo.


They provided an interesting array of vegetables for the bbq.



Not sure if the side dishes are refillable as we didn't ask for extra.



We ordered two different portion of meat as according to the boss, their portions are meant for one.



This is the rice served, can you spot the piece of charcoal at the bottom right?



This soup here is spicy and yummy!



Overall, the food is good and the price is reasonable! :D
