First Nepal Restaurant: Our favourite at Jukjeon

First Nepal is one restaurant I should have written many months ago when I discovered through Naver. Was lazy to mention in the blog since it was over 10 km from home and I figured it would be an one-off place. The surprising thing is that, considering we hardly eat out, this is by far the most visited restaurant in all these years.

Located just outside the Dankook University(Jukjeon campus), the restaurant has an affordably priced menu , decent ambience and a friendly owner. Most importantly, the chef does a good job!

Cherry Blossoms, Seokchon Lake, Seoul

Getting out during the weekends with the kids takes serious efforts!
How I wish we could leave home quickly and travel more.

Finally, last Sunday, wanted to go to the Seoul Children's Grand Park(having never been there all these years). As my luck would have it, after driving 40 km I realized that there is no way I could enter the park- parking was full and just too many cars waiting. To top it, the crowd was unimaginable! Apparently, that day was the best to watch cherry blossoms in full bloom, and looked like the whole country had descended there.

Hating crowds the way I do, decided to return home...On the way, near Lotte World, was Seokchon Lake...change of plans and we wanted to atleast look at the cherry blossoms.


As I should have expected, there were more people than flowers in the path encircling the lake!
Probably,people in Korea love taking pictures the most!!! One of the bad things of the smartphone era, is that people are more concerned with clicking pictures than enjoying the moment...
Just too many selfie rods around me!

Took a few pictures. And, ticked off the to-do list of watching cherry blossoms this year. mission accomplished!

Tranche Vegan Buffet Restaurant, Yongin (뜰안채채식뷔페)

It has been just too long since I last posted here!
Hopefully, 2015 will find me regular.

So here goes my first post for 2015.

After weeks of dilly-dallying of going to Tranche at Yongin, I could finally visit them with a friend, sometime in December last year. This branch was started in Aug. 2014.

This restaurant is a branch of the Tranche I had been a few times earlier, around 3-4 km from Suwon station.

The ambience was quite modern, yet simple.  And the place has probably similar capacity to the Hwaseong branch.

It was a rare delight to feast on the absolutely vegan menu( I double checked on the kimchi!)Probably more than 30 items in the buffet. The only condition/request they make is not to waste food.

I tend to think of Korean food being much healthier than Indian food, as long as they are vegan!

I wonder how they are able to serve at such modest prices!
