This time around, I didn’t seem to shop a lot in Seoul compared to the trip I went with my sisters. Being autumn season, I couldn’t find any suitable clothes or shoes too. Missy also gave me a list of things to buy for her but I only managed to find some.
So I thought I would have spent less for this trip but actually I think I spent more. Not sure what spent on though and I didn’t keep track of the finances too. Here are some of the shopping loots from Seoul.
Missy wanted something that’s Y2K style and I saw this bag at Shopen in Hongdae. It looks kinda like Y2K bag so I bought it. The bag is really soft and is in off-white shade.
Shopping loot from Lotte Shopping Mall. This basket consists of my favourite HBAF wasabi almonds, Zero chocolate balls and the rest are souvenirs like Market O brownies and pre-packaged hotteok (Korean sweet pancake) and more.
So I saw all kinds of nuts being sold at Gyeongdong Market and since I love snacking on pumpkin seeds, I bought a 1 kg bag that cost 8000 won. Still cheaper than buying here but it was pretty heavy to lug around with other shopping loots.
Bought Miffy keychain and socks for Missy. Also a name tag holder from Hello Kitty Cafe in Myeongdong.
We walked past a handmade leather bag shop in Bukchon and this was the first bag I saw and liked. Was contemplating if I should get it but my friends said I should or else I would be thinking about it and we won’t be going back to that shop later. So it’s now in my house.
This is a packet of the instant broth tablet anchovy flavour that my friend recommended. She cooks the soup using this and it’s flavourful. I have yet to cook with it. The other one is the Maxim sugar-free instant coffee. I thought it’s just coffee and creamer but it has stevia and the coffee tasted very sweet. Not my kind of coffee so I gave it to hubs.
These are my favourite Korean soybean paste stew sauce / Korean tofu stew sauce. I love cooking my sundubu jiggae with these pastes. They are available here but cheaper in Seoul.
Besides the above, I also bought some beauty products like Missha eyeliners, lip tints, hand lotions, face cream, a pair of white wide-legged pants and a pair of Blue Elephant sunglasses.
