We made " tteok guk” for our guests at Travelers Planet Hostel Common area which is 4th floor!!!
I think the real key to this soup is making a clear, delicious broth, which takes some care and attention to do. But overall this is a very easy recipe to make.
Often, Koreans add mandu (Korean dumplings) to tteokguk, in which case the soup is called tteok-manduguk. You can use any kind of mandu in the soup
Why don’t you make a resolution to try tteokguk on new year’s day, and let me know how it turns out :)

Last weekend, we cooked Omelet Roll as 23rd special breakfast!
I love it(although I couldn't taste it), and I think all friends were enjoying it :)
Can you watch the video? heheheh.
Actually, although it is little difficult to recognize how to make it, what you need to do for making it is just putting eggs into the pan, with ingredients you want, such as carrot, tomato or cheese!
Enjoy your meal! and Let's have a fun with us.
Please expect the menu for next weekend as well :)

One of beautiful experiences in our life is to travel with family.
When we travel with our own family, we get to know each other well, and also we will get better understanding about ourselves, and deeper love.
A couple from Australia cam...e to Travelers Planet. They traveled Europe for several months and came to Seoul as the last destination.
By their smile and gentleness, we could learn that one of the most important and beautiful memories is to be with our family and have a quality time together. The love to our own family, it makes us more opened to other people, and to the world. Thank you for your warm and gentle smile.
What about making a plan to travel to Seoul with your family for the next vacation? And come to visit Travelers Planet. We will do our best for you and your family to have a quality time.

Let's go to Seoraksan National Park to see beautiful autumn leaves on October.
Leaves have already begun changing color on Korea’s mountains since earlier this month, beginning at northernmost Seoraksan and spreading southward to Woraksan and Songnisan, with Naejangsan and Duryunsan in the south expected to be the last in line to don their autumn dress (around October 25 and 28, respectively). Peak foliage, which refers to when approximately 80% of the leaves on any mountain have changed color, has likewise arrived first on Seoraksan (on October 17). The central region is expected to reach peak foliage within the next two weeks.
When most Koreans think of the best places to view autumnal foliage in Korea, they think of Mt. Seoraksan National Park which is considered to have some of the most beautiful maple trees in autumn in the country. With its majestic peaks and uniquely–shaped rock formations rising up from the maple and pine covered foothills and tranquil valleys below; it’s no wonder that Seoraksan is a popular destination this time of the year.
