On KTX to Daejeon 大田 대전시 to register The Husband's name seal.
Daejeon main station
The husband found this famous green tea ginseng chicken soup but they are only open for dinner.
Our second option for ginseng chicken stew.
We came before lunch hour, soon the restaurant is filled with people.
大田蔘鷄湯 삼계탕, Daejeon is famous for their ginseng chicken soup.
A sweet surprise to see the Michelin awarded bakery at Daejeon main train station.
Bought two of their award winning bread to try, one tasted like dumpling in bread another one tasted like crispy fried red bean bun.
On KoRail to meet ChaYong
Sweet potato latte
Buzzing Suwon street
ChaYong's princess house
In Suwon, one cannot miss their wang garlbi (marinated king's rib). I recommend 가보정갈비 Kabojung, they are the best in Suwon, so popular they have three towers of restaurant next to each other to cater for the crowd.
There are two kinds of meat to choose from, the premium US beef (approx 40SGD per pax) or the fine dining price tagged Korean beef (80SGD per pax). We ordered 3 paxs of premium US beef and you are looking at 1.35kg of beef ribs there.
Variety of kimchi
Kabojung served a wide selection of side dishes, in fact the most luxury one i ever had. Except the pot of miso soup and the ribs, everything else you seen in the picture are refillable free side dishes. There are even free premium side dishes such as spicy marinated stingray, pumpkin pancakes and spicy marinated raw crab 양념 게장 Yangnyeom Gejang.
찜질房 Jjimjilbang sauna late at night
Collected our rented Kia Pride, paid around 250SGD for 4 days. They are nice to pass us the car in Suwon and return in Seoul. This is a two weeks old car, lucky!
華城 Hwaseong Fortess, a UNESCO world heritage site built in 1796 during the Joseon Dynasty encircled the whole Suwon city back then. King Jeongjo attempt to move the nation capital to Suwon but he failed. Hwaseong is also the house to honour the remains of King Jeongjo's father Prince Sado.
"Royal" seal
I wonder what are these animals on top of the roof.
Hwaseong train takes about 20 minutes for one way.
Gukgung 국궁 National Archery
Two levels, beginner (the blue ones) and professional (way behind).
Martial art fighting stage
Bongdon Bonghwa Torch 봉돈봉화
"The torch was used in the past for military communication purposes. 'Bong' means torch, and 'su' means smoke. The torch smoke was used during the daytime and fire was used at nighttime to relay urgent information and the movement of enemy troops."

When West meet East
Lunch with ChaYong before leaving Suwon. I had my favorite pungent fermented soya bean soup 청국장 cheonggukjang which is good for our digestive system and anti cancer.
