📍lk bakery, mandani bay boardwalk 🍽️ le crookie, pistachio caramel croissant, vanilla latte individual ratings: le crookie ( cookie on top of a croissant ) [ ☆2.5 ] — guys ... it was hard as a ROCK what the fuck happened 😭 maybe they left it in the oven a bit too long ? i've tried this once before with my besties at the branch near redemptorist and it wasn't this bad . but be warned bc their crookie filling and cookie itself has walnuts in it in case you're not a nut person, i personally am not really a fan of walnuts and i forgot they had these so i got surprised by em again lol, i think the filling inside is supposed to be cookie dough but it just made me sad lol i fear the walnuts ruined it for me </3 pistachio caramel croissant [ ☆3.5 ] — better than the crookie but also a bit more expensive so it Should be better lol ... the croissant was slightly crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth softness on the inside . had LOOOTS of the pistachio caramel cream filling it would overflow whenever you cut into the croissant ! the cream itself only had a hint of pistachio flavor, tasted more like vanilla and caramel . potentially gets tiring to eat after a few bites, it's a bit sweet . vanilla latte [ ☆3.0 ] — it just tasted like a normal vanilla latte, nothing special about it ! not my fave, i don't hate it, it's alright .

📍i'm ngl i have no idea where this was, it was super dark out and we just focused on eating 😭, south korea 🍽️ smoked ( ? ) mackerel with side dishes ONE OF THE MOST GOATED MEALS WE HAD DURING THE TRIP !!!! like i did not have any expectations going into this meal at all but you GUUUUYS the fish was so flavorful and fatty, super melt in your mouth . all of us were rly ascending to heaven LMAO super simple meal but genuinely one of my favorites i'm so fucking serious, it breaks my heart that i didn't get to take the name of the resto or anything ARGHHSDUHC but i think it was 30 mins away from the bts bus stop ! i just don't know where exactly 🥲🥲🥲 i liked the side dishes too, only things i didn't like as much as the others were the topokki and those tiny little dried fish cuz they had a sweet taste rather than savory

📍i also have no idea where this is ... it was like in the middle of nowhere omg 😭, south korea 🍽️ pork and squid bulgogi with side dishes it tastes better than it looks actually ! a lot more savory than it looks especially bc of the marinated pork, but after a while the taste gets to you 😭 like you can taste the saltiness and stuff decent meal ! not my fave but i didn't hate it

📍chicken bbq place before the pier going to nami island, south korea 🍽️ unli chicken breast bbq our tour guide hyped this place up so much before we had lunch then all of us were disappointed asf after the meal 😭 chicken was dry as hell, spicy but had no flavor . it was like chewing on strings SBKCHSKC i only liked the kimchi and other fermented veggies like that's literally all i can say about this meal, that's how much we didn't like it 😭😭😭😭

📍dokkaebi gelato, shooting place of goblin kdrama beach scene, south korea 🍽️ pistachio ice cream GUYS this place was so goated omg . they sell drinks and ice cream, and there were cute little paintings and drawings all on the walls from tourists n visitors who come to the shop <3 the ice cream tasted SOOO good one of the best pistachio ice creams i've had in a while ! love love love 💚💚💚 plus they also let you borrow a buckwheat bouquet and red scarf similar to what was worn in the iconic goblin beach scene for free 🥹 we didn't get to borrow the props tho cuz we went to the shop after we took pics at the shoot area so that was a missed opportunity but for anyone going here on a future korea trip, it's a good tip to know ! the view is also so gorgeous, i wish we could've spent a longer time here to just chill but we had to go to the bts bus stop right after ueueue, this was one of my favorite spots in the sk tour ! @/dokkaebi_gelato on instagram <3

📍coco milktea, ayala center 🍽️ coco x kuromi peach tea drink, additional coconut jelly toppings i’m ngl guys i only ordered this for the cute cup 🙂‍↕️ i don’t usually order fruit teas, the first sip of the tea itself was okay ( like it really just tastes like peach flavored tea ) but when i had another sip that carried the real peach chunks erm … the texture Weird as hell 💔 maybe it would’ve been better if the peach chunks had no skin on them ? like i fear the skin rly made the texture feel weird in the mouth, like coarse and grainy . i don’t even know if ur supposed to have peach with the skin on JDKFND also !!! they did Not put coconut jelly in my drink, they put the clear crystal boba . >:c like if you don’t have the topping i ordered pls just tell me and give me my money back bruh … i hate it when they substitute smth else instead of the thing u literally paid for </3 or maybe it was just an honest mistake but either way dude i wanted coconut jelly ://// wanted to enjoy this collab more but yeah for this particular drink it’s very meh . maybe the other ones might be better ? but i won’t risk my money and happiness anymore to try out the other ones . i had to sacrifice ordering my usual go-to for this and i ended up disappointed 😭

📍snack shop near the entrance of the garden of morning calm, south korea 🍽️ potato hotdog, full cheesedog ( didn't get to take a pic of it ), coffee i think i had high expectations bc i've eaten cheesedogs from icha so i immediately expected korean cheesedogs to be better but uh . perhaps i should've lowered my expectations first LOL since this was just a random small snack shop and not a branded korean cheesedog shop they just microwaved the cheesedogs for like 15 seconds so there's like zero crunch and the cheese was still cold 🥲i couldn't ask them to reheat it more bc we were alr otw back to the tour bus after i ordered these for takeout so yeah <\3 sadness

📍across the mill lifestyle cafe, ayala center 🍽️ one of their penne pastas & lasagna ok so my parents already ordered by the time i got to the resto so i didn’t get to read which penne dish they picked but my god … the penne pasta was Hard to chew ( like i know what al dente feels like and that was Not al dente ) and barely had any sauce u had to scrape the bottom of the plate to even have a bit of the mozzarella cheese . the lasagna only had like 2 layers and tasted burnt as fuck 💀 like u could tell they just reheated it ugh i was so excited to try cibo too but this lowk ruined cibo for me bye
