Recovery Food, Molito


If you're a big fan of local breakfast food specially the -log combos(tapsilog,porksilog etc),
then I'm sure you will love Recovery Food :)



Their dishes are all affordable and there's a variety of rice bowls to choose from.
Yay!












SST/Sweet Spicy Tuyo
I love tuyo in general, and their sweet spicy version just turns it into a whole other level.
The only thing I don't like is how long the strips of tuyo were LOL #princessproblems.
When I'm devouring something this good, I don't wanna spend time cutting it in pieces.
I just wanna swallow everything in seconds!haha
But anyway, the serving is really generous so I'm sure you'd look past that ;)





Happy Beef Rice
It's like Bistek and Salpicao mixed together!
This was delish too and the beef was really tender. A+





Happy Chicken Arroz Caldo
Now, this has got to be the BEST arroz caldo I've ever tasted! SERIOUSLY.
I'm not exaggerating nor am I lying. This has completely surpassed all the other ac's I've tasted!!!






Not the usual condiments you see in a breakfast joint.
Lovettt~~






Turondots with Dulce Gatas
Ended the meal with some mini turons.
YUMZ

Chocolate Land, Jeju March 2015


Just a few steps away from the Teddy Bear Museum is Chocolate Land.
Jeju has so many museums by the way! I was quite impressed and didn't expect it at all lol




Each person automatically gets a voucher worth 8,000 won after paying admission. 
Nice!




You can use the voucher to buy chocolates in this area.
One box is around 10-20,000 won depending on the flavor ;)



Not gonna lie, I ate so much of the samples bwahaha
I really like the white chocolate coated mandarin orange and cactus crunch :)




some artsy fartsy stuff



too bad it's only in Korean boohoo



dun dun dun dun~~~



As I mentioned in my past post, Hallabong is the special orange of Jeju Island.
The sweetest orange I've ever tasted!




chess board made out of chocolate!



how the gallery looks like...




It's not that big actually. I think you could finish wandering around in 10 minutes.
With that being said, I was quite disappointed with Chocolate Land since I was expecting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory kind of levels LOL





Speaking of, there's a Willy Wonka statue outside the gallery haha




There's a chocolate making area too but the instructor only speaks Korean so it's not really recommended for foreigners =/




Awww "the family that makes chocolate together, stays together" haha =P




ending the post with some cute chocolate eggs teehee ;)

Teddy Bear Museum, Jeju March 2015


One of the highlights of my trip to Jeju was going to the Teddy Bear Museum.
I would always see this getting featured in numerous Korean dramas and being the teddy bear lover that I am, I got so ecstatic that finally I'd be able to see it in person ~yahooo! :))




This gigantic bear is the first thing you will see upon entering. 




There are 3 levels inside the museum starting from the top going down ;)

First stop is the antique teddy bear & photo exhibition.








Me with her Royal Highness and Teddy Bear Chaplin ;)




More teddies at the 2nd floor!






The history of Teddy Bear and a brief description of the museum.




The very first designs of a Teddy bear from 1901-1910



The original Teddy in 1908 from Germany

You could see how colorful the bears are now compared before!



Aside from the historical side of the Teddy, there are also models depicting famous characters and personalities like this Disneyland version.

I think the 1st floor had the most interesting teddy bear displays  





 Mona Lisa Teddy.
