7D Korea Golden Rama Tour: Days Hotel Jeju Seogwipo Ocean
Jenny has informed us that we better used the loo at the restaurant because the journey from where Jeju Airport and Dragon Head Rock is located to our hotel at Seogwipo is around one hour and 30 minutes. The reason of why Golden Rama has chosen for a hotel at Seogwipo area is because the rest of the attractions that we are going to visit in Jeju Island are located near to each other at Seogwipo. I was so happy when I found out that the hotel that Golden Rama has booked for us, Days Hotel Jeju Seogwipo Ocean, is a pretty new hotel. Woohoo.
After patiently waiting for Nico to settle with the check-in procedure and get our room key, we immediately checked our triple room (I was travelling with both my Mom and Bro). The idea of not having to share one bed with Mom perked me up greatly. The size of the bedroom may not be that big but it is big enough for us to move around and to open our luggages on the floor. The beds are quite comfortable as well. And most important, the room is clean (and quite new).
In the bus, Jenny suggested us to try out the fried chicken at the hotel's rooftop bar. Figures that it is time for us to try out one of the favourite Korean dishes called Chimaek, which is a compound word of Chicken and Maekju (re: beer). The selection of the beer is quite extensive and hence, it took us quite a while to decide on which beer to pair with our fried chicken. Hmm decision decision.
Bro decided to try out Korean beer since after all, we were drinking beer in Jeju. He did not really like hot Cass tastes though unfortunately (although he still finished the whole bottle).
I was initially going to go for either Japanese beer or German Beer but Mom nudged me to order Chinese beer, Tsingtao, instead because she wanted to take a sip. Tsingtao is pretty nice to drink as it is quite sweet. More like the beer suitable for girls. Hahaha.
The fried chicken took quite a while to fry (we waited for around 30 minutes) but when it finally arrived on our table, we were practically gobsmacked. The size of the fried chicken is HUGE. We struggled to finish this whole chicken despite having 3 mouths to feed. I have to admit that the fried chicken taste pretty good despite the non-apparent number of seasoning used. It is not the kind of fried chicken which is heavily seasoned and yet, we could still taste the crunchy and savoury flavour of the fried chicken. I have decided to give up on counting calories during the trip because having Chimaek at 10PM is definitely a no-go for any diet. Hahaha.
Woken up the next morning still feeling guilty from the Chimaek feast but there's no way we could start the day without proper breakfast. Upon check-in, the receptionist will give you meal coupon which serves as breakfast voucher. You can bring the voucher to the restaurant to access the breakfast buffet.
The selection of the food provided at the restaurant for breakfast is quite good so I suggest you not to miss breakfast at Days Hotel Jeju Seogwipo Ocean. I took picture of some of the dishes provided like cereal station.
Condiment station which I think can only be found in South Korea because it is basically full of those fermented veggies which are usually served as side dishes in South Korean restaurants.
There are three plates of dessert station. They look pretty good really.
Mom commented on whether I have repented because my breakfast plate looks so healthy. Some of the salad is dressed in heavy sauce though so I kinda doubt the healthiness level of my breakfast plate. Oh well, we are on holiday anyway, rightttt?
Eating proper breakfast is very important especially when you are touring (sounds like a rock band now) since we have a lot of places to cover today. So yeah, eat properly okay!
