Tessa Han: Seoul Part 3 - Apgujeong, Express Bus Terminal, Apgujeong Rodeo Street for Donghae's Grill5Taco

Day 4:

Day 4 started with us alighting from Apgujeong Station. (Note: There is a difference between Apgujeong Station and Apgujeong Rodeo Street, and these two stations are actually pretty far apart from one another.)

After alighting from Apgujeong Station, we were greeted by a shopping mall and department store. The mall was alright, majority were high-end products, but the main point at the mall was the level selling all the Japanese Food! It was like the basement of our Scotts Isetan? Something like that. We could not miss out so we tried out the sushi there since we were hungry too. The sushi was super tasty but SO expensive! Thank goodness my mom bought a bag there and got some vouchers, so the vouchers paid off the bill. Phew.

After that, we took the train to Express Bus Terminal Station. And it was awesome!!!

Express Bus Terminal Mall

We shopped and got quite a few items! It kinda reminds me of Platinum Mall in bkk, or probably a little like Fareast Plaza in SG.

Next, it was Apgujeong Rodeo Street!

And why do I have so many photos of the streets you ask...? It was cause we got lost at Apgujeong Rodeo Street while looking for... Grill5Taco! Yes! It is Super Junior member Donghae's Mexican Fast Food restaurant. I heard many awesome reviews about that place so we are going to check it out!

After asking many people there... We finally found it!

I realized that Apgujeong Rodeo Street is an area where rich people live, after much observation. There were pretty houses, expensive cars and huge cafes. On a side note, Dami's (G-Dragon's older sister) store called 'Rare Market' is opened here too.

Short Ribs Tacos (Donghae's favorite)

Super cheesy Quesadilla that was so good

Ok now an honest review of the food here. It was AWESOME. It was really delicious and finger-licking good! All of us literally used our hands cause we don't care and it was way too yummy for us to care. So even if you are not a fan of Donghae, still go there for the food! It will make you like Mexican food if you don't like it. So go!!! And Donghae's brother served us too btw hehe.

It was difficult to find the restaurant so I am going to give you directions! I managed to find the place cause I was lucky, I asked this lady who knew how to speak English and knows about this restaurant. She was like, "Donghae's restaurant paji?" Then I went like "ye!!!" Something like that at least, haha.

After eating, we left to further explore Apgujeong Rodeo Street! I wanted to look for the famous street where everyone will go there to shop whenever they are at Apgujeong Rodeo Street.

I don't know if you've watched the programme where Julie Tan goes to Korea??? She actually went to this store in the photo above and the clothes inside were extremely impressive. I had to go! And when I was climbing the stairs to the 2nd level, guess who I saw?

Sungjae, the maknae of BTOB. I am not sure if I saw correctly but he was going down the stairs as I was going up. He rushed down but stopped a bit when my mum looked at him, and continued to rush out of the store. I did not have a clear look of him but he really seemed like it is Sungjae. He is my bias member from BTOB by the way!! I was so surprised! After going up, there were a group of stylists (some of them were from China apparently I don't know why) and they were picking out clothes. I heard them converse, "Ah this set is good! They can wear when they go on that TV show." So inspiring hehe.
