Krispy Kreme from Seoul

I only know one doughnut shop in Philippines and that is Dunkin Donuts, that’s why when my husband told me about Krispy Kreme I thought it is a new doughnut shop but I was wrong.

Krispy Kreme was founded by Vernon Rudolph on 1937 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, it is an international chain of doughnut stores. The parent company of Krispy Kreme is Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) and is based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States.

My husband told me Krispy Kreme is a way better than Dunkin Donuts, yeah right but it is also a way expensive too. This is my favorite flavor Blueberry and honey glaze. Honey glaze is the signature item of Krispy Kreme and traditionally served warm.

Korean Croquette from Paris Baguette

This is my favorite treat on weekdays Croquette. Croquette is a small fried food roll containing usually as main ingredients mashed potatoes, and/or minced meat (veal, beef, chicken, or turkey), shellfish, fish, vegetables, and soaked white bread, egg, onion, spices and herbs, wine, milk, beer or any of the combination thereof, sometimes with a filling, often encased in breadcrumbs. It is  usually shaped into a cylinder or disk, and then deep-fried.

My favorite is mashed potato, chicken and beef.  The sliced croquette is chicken,  the one in the left is chicken curry and the one in the right is beef, I bought this in Paris Baguette when we I take-out Chinese food.

Croquette (Goroke) is  sold in most bread shops in Korea. The most common type of Goroke are deep fried rolls stuffed with Japcha ingredients or chicken curry. There are also Goroke filled with Kimchi, pork, and sometimes Bulgogi ingredients. Many Koreans stores often advertise the Goroke as a French product and is usually sold in most European style bread stores all over Korea.

A Little Dark on Monday

I am quite busy these past few days tweaking some theme so hope you understand why I seldom visit and left a comment, anyway I stopped tweaking for a while because my computer is not working properly I think because I have a lot of images in my computer plus I have only 15G left on my hard drive even my hard drive won’t affect my memory it still disturbs me thinking that 16G USB has a bigger space than my computer. So I am cleaning my computer and updating all the necessary software.

Oh well today I went to  the postal office to mail the box for a friend in Philippines it’s been in our apartment for few weeks and I just mailed it. Actually it supposed to be mailed in Christmas like what I told her but I guess she is excited, haha. Like what is expected the postal fee is expensive than the amount of what is inside the box, haist life!

Dunno if we are going to the gym today we didn’t go last week because we prefer to walk around the neighborhood nope actually city because we reached up to the national road to Seoul. It is spitting outside, so the sky is kind of dark.

Short Walk at the Evening of Chuseok

Yesterday is Chuseok here in Korea,  a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar so most of the establishment are closed aside from the 24 hours convenient store. Instead of feasting with food I am starving for food because of the juice fasting.

Anyway my husband and I decided to take a short walk to energize and let our blood circulate, the more we walk the more hungry I felt seeing food stores and restaurant.

Dunkin Donuts is among one of the open store which I am surprised because before the donut shop is already closed at ten o’clock in the evening but as of last night it is quite full. Most of the people I’ve seen walking around is family., maybe they’re visiting their parents and grandparents. I have seen a mother and her daughter walking, I have thought the child has a white puppy with her on leashed but when I look carefully she has no white puppy with her. Did I just see a white puppy ghost?

Cleaning and Organizing the Apartment

It just started by my things filing up in the closet, small towels, unused brassiere and underwear’s that are still packed on their little pouch. My husband noticed that the stuff on the little board is getting heavier and it might lost control and will result to a big mess.

So he removed the makeshift board at top and transfer the underwear’s and socks to floor cabinet, and the things on the floor cabinet to the built-in cabinet near the main door and my junk in the built-in cabinet to trash can and box.

It took me so long to segregate things as everything are precious to me, we ended up throwing the red food cover given to us by Nonghyup Supermarket, the old scale, old umbrella and my old sandals then after cleaning we went shopping to Lotte Super, we shopped mostly vegetables I’ll blog it to my food blog if not today maybe tomorrow.

Shopping for Groceries at Kim’s Club Mart

Nothing new around me aside from wishing to lose weight, the other day my husband shop for our daily supplies as we run out of rice. He want to buy 10kg of rice as he don’t like carrying a big sack but when I found out that the 10kg of rice is same price of the 20kg I insist of buying it. He agreed in one condition I am going to be the one who will carry the rice without thinking I said yes despite that Kim’s Mart is quite far from our place, the money that we are going to save is the only thing matters to me.

After shopping for other stuff and paying into the counter, I asked him to put the rice on my head. Oh well, maybe he felt embarrassed to other people that he is the man and I am the one who will carry the rice he told me that he will carry it. So the result I carried three large bags and it took me forever to go home. Lol! I am just carrying less than 10kg what if I ended up carrying the 20kg of rice I might roll in the street just to go home. Silly me!

Sick Feeling, Feeling Sick

It’s been a long time since my last post here huh? I was feeling sick these past few days then my monthly visitor came that makes me roll in pain, then the next day I just wake up with headache. It feels like my head is spinning dunno where did I get it all I know I just ate rice that night before I sleep,  Pookie bear says maybe I am dehydrated so I drink a lot of water but the headache won’t go away, then I recall the pain I felt when I encountered food intolerance it is the same feeling. I immediately took some spoon of sugar and rested for a while I feel like vomiting but my stomach is empty though.

So the whole week I just lay down on bed, watch some TV shows online and sleep,  as I would like to post something on my blog or design some wordpress theme I can’t do it since I feel sick, I remember my Facebook update that I feel like my head is gonna explode that’s what I felt these past few days, it feels like my head is gonna blew up if I force it to think. Teary eyes added to the injury it looks my eyes don’t like the bright of my computer dunno if I am gonna retired from blogging or I need an eyeglass. Huhuhu

So sorry guys for being away. I am thinking of returning to my tweaks as soon as possible. See yeah!

Korean Police

Didn’t take photo of him I might get arrested (lol) but I managed to took photo of the police car before closing our door.

Today is Gwangbokjeol Here in Korea!

August 15 is a public holiday so we had a long weekend the gym is close too which makes me happy (hehe).  I am not really enjoying the gym these past few days because my back bothers me.

Anyway you might ask what is Gwangbokjeol it literally means “Restoration of Light Day” to make it short its Liberation Day it commemorates Victory over Japan Day, which liberated Korea from colonial rule. The South Korean government was created three years later, on August 13, 1948, when Syngman Rhee was sworn in as the first President of South Korea and Gwangbokjeol was officially designated a public holiday on October 1, 1949.

We’d watched an Indian horror movie a while ago entitled “Haunted” was not able to watch it fully because I am kinda busy blogging.

Changes in Icheon and Procrastination

I have been procrastinated these past few days, we are away for almost one week so I had  a marathon reading of all the things I missed, like reading online news papers and etc.

As I walked around the vicinity I have noticed some changes, there are two built stores and there’s a store that closes already,  imagine that it  only happens in one week what more in one month?  Maybe I am going to be lost already, haha. Just a short update about me, I’ll post more when there’s a topic that will blink on my mind.
