Anyeong Noona

Okay, let's break down the items. For the olive jackets, ASOS is selling this Only Suede Jacket at $51 (a discounted price from the initial $69). Do note that the material of the olive jacket is suede and that's mean, don't wear it when it's raining. 

If you hate suede, you may choose the olive jacket from Gap instead. The utility swing jacket is made from cotton and it costs $69.95 on Gap's website. 

The black top is the easiest to find. You can actually find them on any price that you'd like. However, if you want to make it slightly branded, you can go for this black plain tee from Marc by Marc Jacobs at $52 (40% discount from the initial price $88). 

It seems that a lot of fashion brand is having a sale currently, Topshop also joins the trend and this pin-stud leather short is now only $90 (original price $160). This makes Noona reluctant to buy anything at the original price, really. 

I always envy those of you who are living in four season country (although I don't particularly like winter, can I live in three season country then?) because it's so awesome to wear boots during spring, autumn and winter. Living in a humid weather, wearing boots is kinda...torturing (and weird too). The Tropa2 Steve Madden Women's Lace Up Combat Boot (that's a long name) makes a good military boots at $109.95. It comes in various color but Noona loves the black the most. 

Noona thinks the black coat from Mindbridge is really cool and cute too with those three white donkey at one side of the coat. The three donkeys black coat costs 79,900 KRW (USD 64) at Mindbridge's website. 

To achieve the black and white monochromatic look, Seolhyun wears the white shirt beneath the three donkeys black coat. Mindbridge offers a tons of white tops for you to select from but Noona particularly likes this half-length sleeves white shirt. It costs 48,900 KRW (USD 39.60) on the website.

You can easily find a pair of black pants anywhere in the world, but if you are looking for something unique, Mindbridge has a leather patch black pants. The leather patch are sewed on the knees part. It looks pretty cool, isn't it? And the best part is, it is currently on sale from 79,900 KRW to 29,000 KRW (USD 23.50). 

The funny thing is, Noona could not find the pair of shoes that Seolhyun is wearing on Mindbridge's website. But no worries, Dr Martens sells a pair of shiny oxford shoes just like what Seolhyun is wearing at the price of USD 79.99. 

Thankfully, there are certain fashion combination which does not die easily from the keep-on-changing fashion industry. Let's call them versatile items? Hahaha. Here are the 5 best clothes to wear when you have nothing to wear: 

1. Jeans and T-shirt

This style works best for all of us who seem to have too many T-shirts in the closet. XD

2. Striped Top + Short Denim

3. Little Black Dress

When you think you have gained a bit of waistline but still want to look hot, it's time to go the black route. 

4. Floral Dress

Can easily pair the floral dress with coat if looking for a new way to wear one. 

5. Blouse + Smart Pants

How about embracing those urban career woman style? Sneakers are allowed after office hours, after all. =P

Caffe Bene serves mostly coffee, Korean bingsu, waffles and toasts. You can check out the display of those main dishes that Caffe Bene serves in their cafe. 

Noona's friend refused to share that jumbo glass of Korean bingsu so we ended up ordering waffle which is served with a scoop of gelato (you can choose two but of course with additional cost). We chose dark chocolate gelato for the ice cream. The gelato and waffle taste so so. Nothing too fantastic about it.

On the other hand, the garlic & cheese bread taste pretty yummy. You don't get sick of eating too much cheese and the combination of the cheese topping and the garlic toast works pretty well together. 

On another visit to Caffe Bene with Noona's cousin, he agreed to share the jumbo Korean bingsu. Noona let him choose the flavor (as he will do most of the eating in the event that Noona gave up on eating anymore ice). He chose Green Tea Bingsu and on top of the bingsu, the server will throw in a lot of toppings like red bean and almond nuts. To complete the look, a big dollop of whipped cream (not ice cream unfortunately) are put on top of everything. Surprisingly we can finish the jumbo bingsu (Noona supposes because after all, this is mainly made from ice and ice equals water?). The toppings, the whipped cream and the green tea shaved ice taste pretty good when it is mixed. And this is a good dessert to share if you have a lot of things to talk about as you will not be able to finish this bingsu in a short time. XD

Thanks Steve for fulfilling the curiosity of his greedy cousin. 

The good thing about Giordano is that this fashion brand is very affordable and they have a lot of color choice for one particular item. The polka dot cardigan that Krystal wears is available in 15 different colors. The cardigan costs USD 24.17.

Noona really really likes the top that Krystal wears. The striped top is available in 8 different patterns and it costs only USD 13.62. 

How about the denim pants? The denim pants come in 5 different color and it costs USD 40.38. 

The whole look costs less than USD 100, my goodness. Isn't this considered a good deal? 

While the other flavor has an extra kick in its flavor because it's spicy honey chicken. You can ask for a taste prior to ordering. After tasting the two flavours, Noona personally prefers the spicy honey chicken. The spiciness level is still acceptable because it is not as spicy as those ma la pepper which can make you cry.

Kkul Dak also sells rice and japchae (re: Korean stir fried vermicelli). It has the combo or rice + kimchi + honey chicken however, Kkul Dak did not sell a combo of japchae + honey chicken. 

So Noona has to order both japchae and the honey chicken separately and hence, the bill comes at a higher price. However, the combination of japchae and spicy honey chicken is wonderful. The japchae is savoury in flavour and yet it mixes well with the spicy and sweet honey chicken. Portion wise, Kkul Dak is pretty generous with the japchae too. 

You can find Kkul Dak outlet at basement level of Plaza Singapura.
