And whilst I was happy to see the food culture thriving, pretty sad that almost all stalls are selling the same food - teokbokki, rice roll and other local delights. Nerve wrecking to order amongst Koreans, but it was an experience to see all the ahjumma behind the stalls. I must say the market remains quite authentic and I hardly spotted any tourists. Coming alone to this market is a huge mistake. Can't even finish my plate of teokbokki and rice roll #korea2014 #danielinseoul #gwangjangmarket #latergram #dinner

And the one behind? That's sweet and sour pork. #korea2014 #day6 #danielinseoul #danielinseoul #dinner

Day 1 is almost over, and it hasn't impressed me so far, aside from the cherry blossom. #korea2014 #jeju #day1 #dinner

10 degree C outside and having this hot bowl of soup is the best feeling ever :) #ginseng #chicken #korea2014 #lunch

I like that this cafe doesn't try too hard to impress you with the pretentious decor, just clean and simple furniture and decor. What I'm blown away is this Azuki Matcha Green Tea Chiffon cake - so light and perfectly complemented by the Azuki red beans. I would believe it if they say this is a Japanese recipe. So Japanese, so good. Left me wanting more. #japaninsingapore #greentea #azuki #chiffon #cake #cafe #cafehopping #workfromcafe

If not for the unstable wifi connection (works perfectly fine for my iPhone, but not my laptop), I would have stayed through the afternoon. I love how eccentric this place is, staring at bicycle parts as you're sipping a cup of coffee. I love it even more that it's spacious and well illuminated, and doesn't compromise the seating capacity for business profits. Coffee's pretty good too. Quite a lot of people considering the inaccessible location. #wheelersyard #industrialchic #cafe #workfromcafe #cafehopping

WTF. So I have blacklisted smitten cafe and went ahead with book cafe begrudgingly, because I didn't have a good experience the last time I visited the cafe because it was full house and relegated to the seats outside. But I must say having found a seat inside, I don't want to leave the cafe. Food and coffee are good too! #bookcafe #ftw #workfromcafe #brunch

Very authentic #chweekueh #singapore #local #food #lunch #ghimmohmarket

But I think it's my calling to try a plate from this humble store in Ghim Moh Market. While I'm not entirely impressed with the result, cos I have definitely tasted better even with my lack of experience in CKT-eating, I'm happy to witness the showmanship of the hawker master. A lot of hard work under some merciless working environment. Definitely a great plate of CKT, served with a very generous amount of fried lard and hum (no less than 10 cockles). Definitely worth my 800 calories for lunch. #thingsieatwithoutmyatascolleague #charkwayteow #local #hawker #food #singapore

But might as well, cos my mum can knock out those mediocre prawn mee noodle any time #homecooked #prawnmee #bestmum
