Switzerland Honeymoon: Jungfraujoch 🇨🇭

By -

Today we are going to Jungfraujoch! We could see little specks of snow when we arrived at Grindelwald Terminal. From there, we have to take a gondola which will take us up to Eigergletscher where we will have to take a train up to Jungfraujoch! 


View of the little snowy villages from the gondola


Jungfraujoch Railway Station, is the highest train station in Europe


Got to see real snow and mini snowflakes as soon as we stepped out to the Sphinx Observatory. It was -11.5 degrees!


One with the giant Christmas tree 


Passing through the Alpine Sensation, a moving walkway with lots of things to see on our way to the Ice Palace



Visited the Ice Palace, I preferred this one at Jungfraujoch as it is bigger and felt more well maintained as compared to the one at Glacier Paradise with floors made of ice


Top of Europe checked! 


Love this picture taken by a friendly Taiwanese tourist who takes good pictures and even told us how to pose!


Lunch at Restaurant Crystal, we decided to order to share as we had a full breakfast in the hotel  

Hot drinks and bread to start off our meal. Love their fruit punches - I don’t mind having an apple punch for every meal 


Classic homemade Lobster soup with cognac and cream 


Cooked breast of pork with mountain herb sauce, smashed potato-parsnips, glazed carrots and leaf spinach. Love this dish as the pork is so tender and delicious! 


Lindt chocolate variation with Mousse, Tartelette, cake as recommended by the waiter


Lindt Chocolate Heaven, we only purchased some Christmas chocolates that were on promotion as we decided to get more in Zurich when we visit Lindt Home of the Chocolate


Pigg bought a bottle of brandy as a souvenir for himself. On our ride down, the staff gave us a souvenir chocolate 


Conclusion: Although the tickets are not cheap, Jungfraujoch is a worth a visit for those who want to experience snow even in other seasons! 

Location: Jungfraujoch, 3823 Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Maki-San X Foodpanda

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Korea day 6

In the morning after breakfast, we set off to some Korean Palace     This is my favorite picture   After that, we went to a crystal shop, gingseng shop and 肝保店. At the amethyst shop, we bought some amethyst keychains while at the gingseng shop, we bought some gingseng candy and stuff. After that, we went for lunch at a ship restaurant.     There, we had Korean Steamboat and...   Bibimbap! I always thought bibimbap would not taste nice as there is egg yolk and beef in it. But the authentic bibimbap just taste so delicious! With the simmering hot plate, you can cook your rice for a while, after that you can add condiments and the ikan bilis! It is just like pepper lunch, but nicer and tastier! And fun, as you can cook your own lunch and have it whilst its hot.     After lunch, we went to a facial shop where we were taught how to cleanse, tone, moisturise, and take car...
