Mango Six Malaysia

Finally Mango Six is in Malaysia !! K-drama fan will be familiar with this drama as they are the sponsor for The Heir and A Gentleman's Dignity drama.

The location is at Bandar Puteri, Puchong.  https://www.facebook.com/Mangosix-Malaysia-858112477541956/

Catch of the day - baumkuchen and mango coconut Yummeh

I went during off peak so my waiting time is just 10 minutes... but i  just check their fb...2 review stated they wait for 45 min for cakes and drinks...hmmm maybe they are too popular or does not have enough staff.

Hong Kong , Beijing dan tandas awam

Stuck di Hong Kong
First time merasa  cancel. Kami menaiki Cathay Pacific  dengan tujuan transit di Hong Kong via Dragon Air. Namun sampai sahaja di Gate . Staff terus beritahu flight cancel , airport beijing tutup dan flight akan diganti esok pagi. Staff terus issue boarding pass baru dan memberitahu kami mereka akan cover untuk hotel. Kami diberitahu untuk ambil beg yg dicheckin mungkin agak complicated dan kena menunggu 2-3 jam. Grup semua stuju untuk tidak mengambil beg. (bermakna kami akan bermalam dengan baju yg sama hari tu). Airline turut sediakan bas untuk transfer ke hotel Kowloon.

Kami juga diberi option buffet dinner tapi semua waswas je nak makan. Last2 sebab lokasi hotel di Tsim Sa Tsui, kami terus jalan di restoren halal berdekatan. Disebabkan tak expect akan bermalam di HK, kenala kuarkan cash HKD dari mesin Atm

Meal Voucher HKD $40

Esok 6am kami pun menaiki bas yg disediakan dr hotel ke airport. Bagus juga tak amik beg kerana kami tak perlu check in bag lagi , direct terus ke immigresen. Next kami terus ke satunya2 restoren halal di airport hong kong - Popeyes untuk redeem voucher meal. Nampaknya lokasi Popeyes dah berpindah dr sebelum imigresen(tahun 2014)  ke selepas immigresen .

yg penting ada logo halal

Flight ori - Dragon Air, flight ganti Cathay Pacific. Unfortunately walau dah tanya sebelum tu. Cathay Pacific tiada stock utk makanan halal.nasibla flight dalam 2 jam lebih je.

Pengajaran :
1. Kalau transit malam, sila bawa tshirt backup dalam hand carry. merasa kami pakai baju sama satu hari suntuk walau dah mandi semua.
2. Make sure flight ganti akan copy the same request from previous airline especially MOML.

Insurans kami tidak cover flight cancel sebab airline telah pun menyediakan compensation dan new ticket . coverage hanya untuk delay katanya. Nasibla dpt hotel gak...agak2 kalau AA tido epot jelah kut hehe

Akhirnya selamat sampai Beijing .  Kami stay di Jin Yun run hua. Tour guide kata semalam hujan lebat untuk route ke China dari HK sebab itula flight ke China semua cancel. Flight baru semua org naik Airbus yg besar untuk ganti semua flight ke Beijing yg cancel.

Breakfast diasingkan halal dan non halal atas permintaan pakej di hotel.

Tempat - tempat yang dilawati :


Great wall, Summer Place, Tianamen Square, Panda Zoo .Akrobatik show juga salah satu attraction yg  mmg tak boleh miss, sgt menarik
Trip melalui pakej Poto harusla semua makanan halal. Yang penting bagi kami telur dadar tu wajib ada.

summer palace

bunga di Tianamen sq

Bird nest stadium, bunga mawar bunga kebangsaan

Great wall- hujan masa ni

telur dadar masakan antarabangsa

panda yg comei

Masjid-masjid

Masjid masa ni  ada renovate plak kat toilet perempuan...terpaksala amik wuduk tempat laki..jenuh nak expain water meiyo lol..last2 tunjuk imam org tgh baik toilet baru dia paham.

Tandas awam

dari luar cantik tp dalam hmm entahla

mmg sah sah tau toilet sini takde air, tp sikap mereka ni pelik juga...tourist tourist dalam negeri yang turut melawat tempat2 pelancongan...satu q panjang, dua siap tak flush...tetiba je eh org sebelah punya tisu masuk kat sebelah ada darah plak tu ewww....( ni summer palace punya toilet) ...dekat art zone siap ada toilet takde pintu ( nak tangkap gmbr tapi ada org plak ) kalu penuh org pakai gak kut toilet takde pintu tu....dahle berbau terus terbantut niat....haha so pergi sini , sila bersedia dr segi mental lol

Airport security beijing yg sgt tak friendly
Security check..sungguh tak effisyen...q punya lama sampai dah masuk waktu boarding dah.....lepas tu rupanya kena keluarkan powerbank  dari beg...lain kali tarukla sign waktu tgh q ni...ni dahla lambat, sampai turn nak xray, jenuh plak nak korek power bank dlm bag...bukan tu je ada gak power bank 20k kena amik, bedak bayi pun...i punya  makanan jelly puding pun kena...walau aku tak rasa tu cecair..takpela gua kasi halal je..masalahnya dia baling jelly tu buang depan mata...haishla....

Lepas clear security je berlarila kami ke gate, tapi rupanya delay dekat sejam tunggu pelepasan trafik udara ( yg menyebabkan risiko lg sekali untuk transit ke HK) ...kat HK sambung drama..kuar gate terus carik gate baru....fuh setbaik sempat..kalu tak mmg kami pi Disneylandlah....anyway bila balik KL....1 beg group kami takde....berdasarkan reference sticker bar code tu...rupanya bag tu miss out masa transit....(yela tinggal sejam je) anyway pihak Cathay telah menghantar beg tersebut direct ke rumah keessokkan harinya. (beg tak berkunci dan tiada benda yang hilang)

Sebenarnya jadual kami ni dah lari sebab sepatutnya kami direct ke Beijing . Kami dah hilang separuh hari tapi nasibla kami still bole cover semua tempat dalam itinerari...group pun semua sporting menempuh pelbagai drama ke Beijing.

Boa Travel House / Halal Dosirak

Aku memilih untuk menginap di Boa Guest House kerana terbaca di website KTO mereka menawarkan makanan Korea yang Halal. Mereka juga di dalam list restoren di website " Have Halal Will Travel " Sementelah  berjalan bersama ayah , harapnya senangla untuk mendapat makanan halal. Lagipun lokasi mereka memang strategik di Hongdae , salah satu stesen ke Incheon sesuai untuk flight awal pagi bila pulang nanti .(Nama stesen : Hongik University)

Kebetulan Boa  membuat kuiz di Facebook dan dapatla 10% diskaun. Tapi rasanya lepas tolak 10% diskaun tu lebih kurg sama je dengan harga Agoda. Cuma tambahan dpt extra t-money hadiah untuk pemenang. Kami juga perlu bayar 10,000 deposit untuk kad access. Wang akan dipulangkan upon check out.

Muslim friendly
Mereka menyediakan kabinet khas utensil untuk muslim dan juga surau di rooftoop. Bilik berdua agak kecil untuk solat, untuk keselesaan boleh pergi ke Surau (rooftop).

For muslim only

Halal Dosirak
Masa aku pergi ( bulan April) ,pesanan perlu dibuat sekurang2nya sehari sebelum. Yang tak syok kita perlu ikut timing mereka...option waktu cuma dari pukul 12noon hingga 3pm. Ini bermaksud sama ada kami perlu keluar berjalan selepas pickup dosirak  atau keluar berjalan dan balik sebelum pukui 3pm. Sebab nak merasa , kami pun berjalan awal pagi dan kemudian balik ke Guest house pukul 1pm.

Alhamdullillah  latest follow up halal kitchen sekarang beroperasi dari 12noon- 9pm dan telah pun di renovate..tidak perlu order in advance. Bebas sikit untuk pilih timing. Bagusla kerana mereka nampak potential halal market .Untuk yang tak stay di Boa pun boleh order makanan halal dan singgah untuk solat di sini.
Untuk lebih lanjut boleh refer website mereka : http://www.boatravelhouse.com/
FB Halal Dosirak  : https://www.facebook.com/halalkoreanfood

Pelanggan yang menginap di Boa akan dpt  10% off diskaun dari harga asal.  Saya pilih Chicken Dosirak , Jajangmyeon (black bean noddles)  dan  untuk makan malam Kimbap (simpan dlm peti ais)

Chicken Dosirak

Kimbap

Jajangmyeon

Kena pula hari yang order tu " Black Day" 14 April . Kononya hari untuk orang single yang tidak menyambut Valentine Day dan "White Day". Kronologinya Valentine Day , 14 Februari  hari kekasih (hari bagi hadiah), Di Korea ,14 march - white day hari lelaki memberi perempuan (GF /crush) hadiah so 14 April hari org single lawannya Black Day . So hari ni dicelebrate dengan makan Jajangnyeon yang hitam warnanya. Yang lucu tu aku yang ingatkan host ( yang tolong masakkkan  Jajangmyeon  kat dapur) hari ni Black Day. Tapi sebenanya sebab utama aku order Jajangmyeon tu sebab makanan China- Korea ni mmg susah nak dpt yang halal.

Tp as conclusion semua hari hari yang takde cuti ni adalah helah biznes je nak carik untung. Lagi satu dorg ada Pepero Day  ( 11 November) hari hadiah pepero untuk kekasih sebab pepero tu bentuk dia kan lurus sama mcm angka 11.(biznes gak tu)  Kalau di jepun di panggil Pocky Day hari hadiahkan snek Pocky ( kat malaysia dulu Rocky tp skang dah back to origin Pocky) setbek kita tak buat hari2 mencarik untung ni hahaha.

Untuk Boa, insyaAllah next time kalaulah pi Seoul lagi..kalau..n dapat harga murah bolehlah stay lagi. free promo lagi tau.

Song Joong Ki and descendants of the sun craze

Back in 2013, I did blog about Joongki  coz I really like Kang Maru , his character in Innocent Man / Nice guy.  I love his acting so much , I cant believe he is the same  Joongki that i know from Running Man.  I am amaze with his acting ability. He is already famous back then but then he went for the mandatory military service....so Lee Jong Suk fill in the place hahah but this this year he is back to dramaland. Omg Captain Yoo is the best...Now he is become more famous than ever after the drama hit the highest rating in Korea and China.

I manage to catch the last 2 episodes of Dots in Seoul. Perfect timing when I  bought the ticket almost 8 months in advance.In conclusion i am one of the contributor of 34% rating for the last 2 episodes. hehe

Ep 15- omg i cry like crazy even it is without eng subs. I really hate the writer..how could she take down Captain Yoo and Sergeant Seo ??
Ep 16 - Thank god they are not dead..lol  i stay at guest house and i believe my next room is also watching dots coz we both laugh during " Captain Yoo ghost " scene ..."Sunbae , calm down , behind you....the late Captain Yoo"  hahaha

KTO post  about Seorae restaurant via their social media regarding Kang Mo Yeon and Yoo Si Jin standee . I have come prepare with my camouflage scarf a week before the trip hahaha #captainYoo team. Man, I even drag my father to the store , well he is an ex soldier too so why not ? lol
However the staff said "no  no standee" when i ask him (with my limited hangul ) so i only manage to capture this banner.

It turns out, they have to remove it due to copyright issue. Mean KBS.This is the exact location where Captain Yoo and Sergeant Seo drinks non stop.

Oh I also saw this banner at Hoegi station. Korail A train route include to  Gangwon do , the set of"Uruk" and the power plant (Samtan Art Mine). They are reconstructing the set in order to promote Gangwon-do . cant wait !

On the same day, I tweeted KTO about this and KTO inform me I should go to KBS for the standee.
I went alone this time and manage to fulfil my wish of a photo with Captain Yoo .

Oh someone also stole SJK standee here (the one that he tie Dr Kang's shoes).....that is how crazy people become due to Captain Yoo awesomeness.
Plus Nandaemun is selling army t-shirt, pants etc..everyone wanna be a soldier

I asked one ahjussi to took photo of me, lol he also took one using his phone. He must be amused seeing a foreigner with the camouflage scarf. Or maybe he is proud that this drama is famous and manages to attract foreigner. ( i hope it is not because i am one of potential suspect  for the missing standee) ...coz how do i fit a real life size standee into a plane....??  must be local then haha.

I do think they should also put Dr Kang standee...coz I like her too. My fav actress since Full House. I ship her with Rain back then, since Rain have KTH now...ok SHK u can marry SJK lol.

Good thing KBS is located at Yeuido so i also get to view the beautiful Cherry Blosssom.
Location : KBS ( nearby Radio Studio)
Nearest subway : National Assembly

I studied marketing before so somehow i am alert when there is product placement in the drama.
I even took picture of the  store that sell the red ginseng ( Lieutenant Myung Joo's gift to Captain Yoo). It is just a poster ...tsk. This is at cable car to N-Seoul tower. If i have extra time, I will also go to  Dal komm cafe , well just because

I try to buy ticket for SJK fan meeting in Bangkok , well it is sold out within few minutes.....hopefully he will continue his fan meeting tour to KL or SG.

SJK is endorsing so many brands such as Domino's Pizza , Baskin Robins the biggest of course being Korea Tourism spokesperson. He is also  Doota Duty Free spokesperson , the mall created special exhibition for Descendants of the sun. They recreated mini Uruk and medicube. I wanna go ! I hope the exhibition is on long term.

Credit :The fact

Oh when i was in Seoul, i also googled blossom Entertainment address . Ofcourse i wont meet SJK but if he is concidently there  why not hahaha plus i always take photo of JYP building , so taking photo of building is normal. I show the address to taxi driver  but he said he wont go, 2 taxi driver denied me... the 2nd driver said it is just nearby (from Google map i still need 20min walk from Subway). Then i met a very kind taxi ahjussi, he key in the addresss into GPS... i said the address is actor's agency, i just wanna take photo after that, i want to go to hotel he said ok , ok "araso" * all this in basic terrible hangul * i said sorry i only know few hangul.. he said no no "kwenchana", However when we reach there, we cant find any signage with Blossom Entertainment. He try to call the number stated but there is no answer. He also step down from the taxi to look for the signage.By that time i need to check out, so i just inform him to drive me back to the hotel. I guess the website is not update coz i also read a blog that the agency is nearby Yeoksam (mine is Cheongdam). Thank you uncle.I guess i should ask hotel staff first (they can verify the address in hangul) and take taxi direct from the hotel (they wont turn down request)

Here is my previous post ,which i keep on seeing him on ad all over Seoul. I bet this time it is triple the amount. Btw both (SHK and SJK) used to be Laneige spokepersons back in 2013.
