5 Days in Jeju Island : Part 1 of 4

Heart Me!
Comment

Many years ago I found that there is this road with cherry blossoms and canola flowers along the road, somewhere in Jeju on the internet. Ever since then I've always wanted to come and see for myself.

The giant windmills and clear blue sky on the background is a BONUS!

The drive down there was so magnificent. Even when we're leaving, viewing back into the rearview mirror while driving is just as amazing.

Jeju Black Pork

I gotta admit, I didn't quite notice the contrast between the regular 'pork smell' or the lack thereof, as we were hungry and everything tasted pretty good back then.

Once I'm back here having my usual pork, I can immediately tell the difference!

Put simply, Jeju Black Pork's fat is a little more solid and crunchy, and there is really little to no 'pork smell' when eaten.

Also, you can always check the cut you ordered whether it has some black hair intact on the skin. I think that is how the way they serve it to show you their genuine produce.

Tips : To enjoy the best meat, try not to order any marinated version of the Black Pork and just go for the unmarinated ones.

Keyboard Waffle

The keyboard waffle comes with 4 different condiments; honey, ice creams, cherry jam, and whipped cream with coffee sauce. The 'mouse bread' is an add-on, plain tiny little bun.

So if you are also into some Instagrammable waffle, do drop by!

BTW, I parked here at Nexon Computer Museum to walk over to the Jeju High School right opposite of this building.

No.1 Korean Breakfast Sandwich

I'm very into Isaac Toast, but only when I'm in South Korea.

That's probably because they apply a layer of Kiwi jam on their toast that makes the huge difference!

And their Pizza Toast (피자토스트) 3,500 won ($2.94) is the bomb!

Jeju National University

There is this Isaac Toast branch by the roadside at one of the road near their university, namely Jeju National University Cherry Blossom Walkway.

Why here? You get to enjoy the best toast, outdoor, under cherry blossoms trees!

There are plenty of interesting lighthouses located in the northern region of the island. Though I did see the horse-shaped lighthouses not far from our Airbnb but I didn't stop to take any photo.

Well.. maybe next time!
