My Favorite Dimsum Place

On my very first trip out of the country, with a good friend, I took on the responsibility of looking for places where we'd have our meals. I went online and looked for popular places and dishes to try. After all, it was one of the reasons why I wanted to travel. 

That was Taipei, Taiwan in 2006 (or 2007, I can't be too sure). 

Fast-forward to 2012, and many restaurants after that first trip, I've come to conclude that Xiao Long Bao is my all-time favorite dimsum, and Din Tai Fung is my all-time favorite dimsum place. Ever since that first trip, I've made sure to eat at Din Tai Fung wherever it's available. Fortunately, the place has spread to other places outside of Taipei, and for a good reason.

Seoul Food: Part N

I like traveling. I'll dedicate an entire post to how it all started but for now, know that that's the second reason why I've come to amass photos, which led me to start this account.

Very soon, I'll be visiting one of my favorite cities again (and I only say "one of" to sound as impartial as possible because Seoul is secretly my favorite city), and I figured I'd share an interesting experience based on the last one. Of course, this post is called Part N because heaven knows how many parts this will have.

There had been no scarcity of things to do while I was in Seoul for 2 times that I've visited. And when I've run out of unique stuff to do and places to visit, I don't mind visiting some of the places I've visited again. From museums, to shopping, to all things touristy and everything in between, visiting Seoul once on a 4-5 day vacation just isnt enough. Of course, aside from visiting a new place, it's the food that gets me excited to travel.
