I've just back from Seoul last week, even though its been a week I've felt like it was yesterday :) lol, owwh I missed Korea so much!! When people thought about South Korea, some might think it must be very challenging to travel there due to language barrier, and for Muslim they might think to find halal meals would be the hardest things. Well, let me prove it was wrong, based on my trip over there, language is not a problem, YES not every Korean knows English well but whenever you asking for information they will try their best to help you as long you being friendly to them, respect them, always says "An-nyeong haseyo" to them especially to the eldest. You might laugh whenever you think about the situation again but they were really helpful, all you need to do is to understand their body language :) While me and my two friends were there we never lost :) even though we just knew three or four hanggul phrase/words :P. For halal food, there are few Halal restaurants around Itaewon, the price for the meal would be standard price like almost any other Korean dishes. Apart from that as we were staying at Bukchon (quite far to Itaewon), we just bought instant rice and eat with Malaysian dishes ( we brought along) like 'serunding'(meat floss), sambal ikan bilis (spicy anchovies), so its not hard to find halal meals right? While we strolled around the city we still get a chance to try their stall food, thanks to my friend (Korean) his text (was written in hanggul) really helpful. We enjoy tteok-bokki, deli manjoo,hotteok, and another one temptation dishes (we don't know what was its name-made from yolk but it was sweet) :) so who says its hard to find halal food at Korea? all you have to do is just to asking them :), for those who wish to travel to South Korea no worry, enjoy your trip at Korea to the fullest! I definitely will go there again in the future :)
