Beautiful island near by Jejudo island!

Hello everyone! Finally Jutako is back to normal life! YAY!
Futako and I had a very nice wedding ceremony 2 weeks ago.


Tada~

And then, we went to Hong Kong and Putket in Thailand for our honeymoon.


Trying a canoe at Putket :)
Conclusion: Jutako is going to start blog again. Thank you for waiting!

Let's back to the point! Shall we leave for Udo now? :) (YES!)

Udo is a little island near by Jejudo island.  I guess a lot of you might heard of Jejudo, as it is one of the most famous and fantastic islands in Korea. Jejudo is as nice as its reputation. If you have visited Seoul several times, then it's time to visit Jejudo. The island is located in north of Korea, so its weather is more like southeast Asia's weather. I will post some places of Jeju later! However, today let's visit Udo first! Here we go~

First, go to Jejudo by flight (around 1 hour) and take ferry to Udo! Udo is very good to visit when you visit Jejudo! Just spend half or one day at Udo!

How to get to Udo

Take a ferry from Jejudo to Udo. It doesn't take so long.

If you are lucky, you can enjoy sea view right under sunshine!




I love to take a ferry when it's windy!

Soon, you will arrive Udo!

This is harbor in Udo.

Once I arrived there, I realized that so many people take scooter as transportation. I could have just took a bus but I decided to try little tiny cute scooter in Udo too! The sccoters in Udo are run by electricity. No cars are allowed to come into Udo! Udo is strictly restricted area from air pollution. Isn't it cool? ( But somehow, I saw few cars in the island. Maybe all of them are electronic cars...? )



Pick which one you want to try on!

This one is mine for 3 hours! I paid around 20-30 USD. 

Get in! 

Let's start riding.

You can just take a big bus which go around the island. But I think trying this scooter is also great idea. Not that expensive, as it is only for my self. I think maximum 2 people can ride in at the same time. You can stop wherever you want to stop! Thanks to this scooter, I could took many photos as I want.




Simply to say, what you can do for fun in Udo is seeing around the island by riding this little fun scooter. Maybe it sounds not so special to you? However, the view of Udo is really wonderful, so I am sure that you do not want to miss it! :) Let me share more photo of Udo views.







This is my favorit photo spot! =)




Good thing about Korea is that we have four different seasons and each season has very strong characteristic! Spring season represents "flowers."






White big lighthous.
Haenyeo = Female driver


Who is this lady? Jejudo is famous for "Haenyeo," which means female driver in Korean language. Jejudo female driver is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage. You can watch "Haenyeo show" at  Seongsan Ilchulbong at Jejudo. Even for free! Find more info by googling Haenyeo~ As Udo is next to Jejudo, it must also have such a culture I think!

Few things to remind you
  • To rent a scooter, I guess you need your ID if you are a foreigner.
  • You need to have driver license as well to rent a sccoter. I had my driver license too.
  • The best timing for rape flower is March! Spring is in general good to visit.
  • Make sure to check the ferry time table, if you don't want to stay all night in Udo :)
Check all the information that you need from below!  

Ferry is available : 7:00(AM)-6:30(PM) during Summer
Each season or depending on weather, the availablity could be differ!

[EAT_INTERNATIONAL] 19. Anchang steak & Ricotta cheese food specialty restaurant_안창 스테이크 & 리코타 치즈 음식 전문점

Blogger:Jutako

  Restaurant name

Ugly Stove
어글리 스토브


Welcome back guys! Today I would like to introduce you a "kind" restaurant in Gangnam_강남. The name of today's place is Ugly Stove_어글리 스토브. How does the restaurant's name sound like to you? When I heard of it for the first time, question mark(?) came to my mind first. What do the place want to tell us by the name, "Ugly Stove...?"

How do I get to know about this restaurant? Through the internet research? No! or through my friend? No! I sometimes donate my blood_헌혈. This time I did it at Gangnam blood donation center. After I finished "bloody time," I receive one free Carbonara spaghetti_까르보나라 스파게티 coupon of Ugly Stove. I did not know Ugly Stove supports Gangnam blood donation center. Free carbonara spaghetti...? um... frankly that was a very tempting and sounds like a good deal. I also wanted to visit the restaurant, because I found that this type of blood donation support is really warm-hearted!

Free carbonara coupon from the blood donation center

On the other side, it's explaining brand story of the restaurant.

I could find the meaning of the restaurant, "Ugly Stove," from the brand story. For health, they seek for natural taste. So they use ugly, but heathy ingredients for food, instead of using ingredients made looking good through unhealthy process. Now it sounds quite good to me. :)

_OUTSIDE_


Modern and good looking, as it's a western food restaurant

At that time still there was a Christmas tree. 

_INSIDE_


Inside was also not disappointing at all

I wouldn't say very nice, but still it's above average I think

Self bar. To be honest, this part wasn't look so good with such a modern restaurant.
But for sure, it was very nice to eat pickles as much as I wanted! No need to ask for it.

Nice "Glass" interior
Here's our seat! Let's order food!

_FOOD_


Our first dish_carbonara with bread

I guess that was linguine type of noddle!
As you can see, the noodle is flat and wide.
Anyone know what type of noodle it is? :)

My sister is smiling! She also love eating!
It's proving that we are sisters :)

Nothing left...lol

Next, STEAK!


Steak time! There are...
French fries, Salad with sauce, Ricotta cheese,
Anchang and chicken steaks!

The fries looks very different from normal one in Korea.
I liked it better in this way!



Steak with ricotta cheese!

That was my lunch with my sister on that day. How does it look like? How do you think about this restaurant's brand story and marketing of supporting blood donation center? I personally really appreciated the support and hope more people can support the blood donation center! It will encourage people more to come to the blood donation center for blood donation! But I will keep donating my blood from time to time, without such a free coupon though. :) We can save someone else, which is much valuable than just a free coupon.

Jutako wants to know: How do you do blood donation in your country? (please, share your experience at comment.)


Considering that it's a western food restaurant, it should be quite expensive in Korea. However here, the price was reasonable and taste also very good! I can't find special reason not to recommend this place. If you just want to try some Korean style western food in Gangnam, why not here? :)
