Korean Instant Coffee - White Gold Coffee Mix vs KANU Mild Roast Americano



We don't have a coffee machine.
My husband and I are not picky eater. Of course, in a coffee, too.
So we like instant coffee. Because it's very easy to keep and to make. And the taste is also good, I think.

In Korea, there're many kinds of instant coffee. My favorite coffee is follow two.


1. White Gold Coffee Mix



My favorite mixed coffee is THIS. Yu-na Kim, figure skating star is its commercial model. So we call it 'Yuna Coffee'.







It's very easy to make. Just need one stick of coffee and some hot water. When I'd like to drink sweet coffee, I try it. Bitter-sweet taste is good.



2. KANU Mild Roast Americano




My favorite instant black coffee is KANU Americano.
The advertising copy is "The Smallest Cafe in the World". Yes, I agree with it !!








It has two kinds of taste, Mild and Dark. Both of them are good, but I like Mild better.
The taste is good. Especially, it has a good aftertaste.





Korean TV Show - Please Take Care of My Refrigerator



I'd like to introduce Korean famous TV show named "Please take care of my refrigerator". It's one of my favorite TV shows.





Celebrities appear on the show as the guests.




The guests bring their own refrigerators and the hosts look in it. They check what kind of food and ingredients are in it.



After the checking, the chefs who are most famous in Korea compete each other using ingredients only in the refrigerator. And they have to cook within 15 minutes !!




It's very exciting to see their cooking techniques and creative recipes within limited time.





It's amazing !! They are mouth-watering food !!



Trip to JEJU ISLAND in 2015



I was pregnant in 2015. So I'd like to take a trip to JEJU with my baby.
The reason was, I thought that my baby could also feel the beauty of JEJU.




As soon as we arrived in JEJU, we went to Dongmun Traditional Market to buy sliced raw fish. We had it for our dinner with instant cup ramen and gimbap. Of course, my hubby drank JEJU Tangerine Makgeolli. Raw fish was fresh and cheap.






The sea has emerald green water. The water is so clear.





We had Spicy Seafood Stew and Braised Cutlassfish for our lunch. Both of two were  yummy !!






We could see many green grasslands and farms on the way to Hallasan Mountain.





They're Noodle Soup with Pork. Very famous food in JEJU !!




It's Dol Hreubang (means Stone Grandpa). It's said in JEJU that if the woman touch the nose of it, she can have a son.








It's Seongsan Sunrise Peak. It was very very beautiful.
CNN chose 50 beautiful places to visit in Korea in 2012. Seongsan Sunrise Peak was first place among them.








I can't remember the name of beach. It was quiet and peaceful.





We could see many horses easily in JEJU on the road.




I miss the sky of JEJU. We enjoyed the picturesque scenery at that time.





We walked around the traditional market. Traditional market always makes me feel better.




The night of JEJU. Very quiet and peaceful.

My Hubby's Iced Americano





We really like coffee.
My hubby makes coffee with just one spoon of coffee, a little hot water, 3/5 cool water, and 5 ice balls.
He emphasizes that ice balls have to be five. Only FIVE !!
I don't know why. haha



Trip to GYEONGJU in 2012




GYEONGJU was the capital of the Shilla period.

It's a city which has a long history. And it's just as it was in the old days.
It was like a journey back to the past.




When we visited there, it had snow. It's quiet and very peaceful.





My hubby and I were young. Those were the days. ^^




Let's walk together at the same pace.






The days when we wanted to be together all the time.
At the Bulguksa Temple.




Why are you here ? Where is your home ?
I wish you are not abandoned dog.





We had Korean Family Set Menu with Grilled Dried Pollack for our lunch.





"Are you happy ?"
"Yes, of course."
"If you're happy, I'm happy, too."
