If you see my blog post, I'm all about bare face but sometimes, I need to wear makeup when going to functions, for me, it's required. Well, thank god with the overflowing makeup tutorial on YouTube on Instagram I kind of pick up some skills from there 😉

Veg Fish Farm Thai Restaurant: Your food will be send by a boat, if you sit far enough 😉
Food. There is nothing that you can say much about it until you start to dig in. Thai food especially, there is a high expectation between our family adds up with the ambience of Veg Fish Farm Thai Restaurant, it is something valuable. Back to square one, what about the food? How much was it? What should I order? Let's break it down here together!
The power of viral is a love-hate relationship for me, and most of the restaurant that I visit is a disappointment. From that, I learned to put my expectation low and go along with it. But, there are a lot of positive rather than negative about this restaurant such as:-
- Huge parking space.
- Fresh ingredients as the vegetables are grown in a safe, responsible and pesticide free environment.
- Caution: They serve alcohol.
- All of their dishes are pork-free (eat at your own risk if you are unsure), delicately prepared and cooked by their experienced Thai chefs.
- From appetisers to dessert, they have it all. Check out the menu here.
- If you live in Ampang, this is so near your place!
You can check out my food recommendation below! |
Huge parking spaces! |
The food is always fresh! |
WHAT DID WE EAT?
Oh my oh my! I can list all of it but don't be surprised because we ordered for 6 adult and 2 children consumption. Plus, I would entirely agree that I ate a lot at that time.
- 7x Coconut - RM6 /pcs
- 1x Mineral Water (B) - RM2 /pcs
- 1x Fresh Mango - RM10 /pcs
- 1x Mango Coconut Milk - RM5 /pcs
- 1x Tako Corn - RM5 /pcs
- 2x Mango Sticky Rice (S) - RM10 /pcs
- 7x White Rice - RM2.50 /pcs
- 1x Red Seafood Tomyam - RM40 /pcs
- 1x Belacan Lady Finger (S) - RM15 /pcs
- 1x Belacan Kangkong (S) - RM10 /pcs
- 1x Spinach Soup - RM15 /pcs
- 1x Fried Spinach (S) - RM10 /pcs
- 1x Squid Salted Egg (S) - RM23 /pcs
- 2x Squid Thai Salad (S) - RM16 /pcs
- 1x Pandan Leaf Chicken (S) - RM21 /pcs
- 5x Fresh Oyster - RM15 /pcs
- 1x Talapia Thai Steamed With Lime Sauce - RM3.80/100g
The list is long, and we make sure we finished everything, and proudly we did it squeaky clean. The total damage estimated to be RM300+.
Talapia Thai Steamed With Lime Sauce - RM3.80/100g |
Fresh Oyster - RM15 /pcs |
Red Seafood Tomyam - RM40 /pcs |
Spinach Soup - RM15 /pcs. |
Pandan Leaf Chicken (S) - RM21 /pcs and Belacan Kangkong (S) - RM10 /pcs. |
WHAT DO WE THINK?
I have tried a few good Thai restaurants, some I shared it here on my blog, some I keep it as a secret to avoid changes in the food quality. But, this restaurant is something exciting, the concept, partition and I would say very systematic. Just make sure to check your order to avoid long waiting!
The boat ride makes it very interesting even my nephew couldn't get off his and her mind, and I think the further you sit the higher chance you get to experience the boat-waiter.

Regarding the food, I would recommend you to order the Squid Thai Salad (it's delicious) we even requested it for a second time. Mango Coconut Milk is a must for dessert, Coconut to cleanse your palate, Belacan Lady Finger for some fibre and Talapia Thai Steamed With Lime for a source of protein.
Why didn't I put Tomyam on the list? Because for me is not that kaw that I expected as it cooked less spicy (my dad request due to health).

Check out this post on how to wear Hanbok in Seoul for Free! |
01. EID 이드 Halal Korean Food 🥘
Right after we put our bag at our Airbnb, we are only craving for food! From Yeoshinnae to Itaewon, we get to discover authentic Korean food at Eid. By the way, Eid has been serving their homemade food to Muslim since 2014 (excellent!).
The time that we went to Korea is during summer transition to autumn, so I ordered some Samgyetang to cool down and Bulgogi for some meaty meal.
As you all might now Itaewon is a Muslim community hub, so this little cosy restaurant is located near Seoul Central Mosque, and it's pretty easy to look out for Halal food here.

02. Namsan Seoul Tower (남산서울타워) 💸
I felt like Namsan Tower is a must visit even you didn't go up to the observatory. We apparently didn't do that, and we just walk around the tower to see the city view and the love locks. In the end, we took the bus from the tower to Myeongdong station.
📍 105, Namsangongwon-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
🕰 Open all year round.
💸 None, because I didn't visit the observatory.

03. Myeong-dong (명동) 💸
It's inevitable to shop around here - clothes, Banana Uyu and K-pop merchandises. Oh my oh my, Myeongdong underground station is heaven for K-pop merchandise! I bought a Gong Yoo calendar, ONE, Winner and South Club album! For beauty, I can't list all of them (because it's a lot), but it's fun to shop and open order to others as well.
📍 Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul.
🕰 Open all year round.
💸 Can't list it because I don't want to remember the damage that I have done.
🚆 A 14-minute walk from Myeong-dong Station.
'Hanok' - a home to traditional houses and still a housing area to lots of local. There is a sign that showed while you walking like 'This is a residential area. Please talk quietly', and we need to respect that.
It will take almost three hours to walk around the area, but I make it simple as I can as I know what to do or visit there: food - Grandhand - watch people in hanbok. So, first, we get our lunch at 항금알식당 (eat at your own risk, please check with Halal Korea for more information). It's a bit hidden at the alley, but I'm pretty sure you can spot it if you are from the station and saw this picture.
At Grandhand, my mom bought me a multi-perfume called 'Marine Vacth' - a mixture of pear, mandarin, rose, lily and toffee. Clearly, I still have it with me, and the smell is just like a fresh and clean sea breeze. Regarding the hanbok, there are tons of rent shop of the traditional Korea clothes, if you want to try you may, but scroll more, and you will spot a tip for free hanbok.

🚆 A 29-minute train ride and walk from Anguk Station.
For me, this is a place to rest after walking through a mountain of Bukchon Hanok Village. There is a lot of people since it's also located beside Gyeongbokgung Palace and it's a new discovery.
I visit the museum out of curiosity. The National Folk Museum of Korea has three permanent exhibitions and two special exhibitions as well as a library, souvenir shop, and other subsidiary facilities.

🚆 A 2-minute walk from the National Folk Museum of Korea.
This hub is more than just an information centre, and this is where you can experience hanbok once in your lifetime for free. Go straight to level 5 and start to immerse yourself in their traditional clothes. The best part is you can experience the hanbok outside of the hub for one hour after you submit your ID.
Love the experience, tons of choice to choose from, and it's astonishing to see the staff put it on to us. After hanbok, it's time to meet one of my favourite Korean band, Big Bang, virtually of course!
A college area which you can expect the shopping area will be much cheaper, according to my mom and I agree with the statement. It was tempting to see tons of beauty shop and YG shop around Ehwa and we kind of shop a lot at this area.
But, I was looking forward to visiting the university tunnel area. It's a really famous spot for photos, and it's open to the public. All you need to do is just respect the university area, who know there are classes runs through that time you are visiting.

There is a meaning about the Narae Bridge as it represents a butterfly in flight, and Gwanggyo Bridge, symbolising a harmony of the past and future.
The stream is near K-Style Hub and other attraction as well like Deoksugung Palace, Seoul Palace, the Sejong Center, Insa-dong Street, Changdeokgung Palace, and Channggyeonggung Palace.
Recommended to take a break in the middle of the city and just enjoy the cold water while dipping your foot inside the stream.

But, along the way I encountered a fascinating thing - biggest rally I have seen so far, to respect them, I would not show the picture here especially I don't know what it is all about.

10. Siti Sarah 🥘
After walking around the Gwanghamun Square area, we just want to get some dinner, and we are craving for another Halal Korean Food, but when we arrived here of 26 August 2017, they said the Korean chef isn't available, so we stuck with a smaller choice.
I ordered the fried catfish with rice, sambal and some veggie. The food was okay, enough to fill myself and still left my space for Hongdae, in case there will be street food.

11. Hongdae (Hongik University Street) (홍대) 📸
The main reason that I wanted to visit this area is that I want to witness local dancing and singing. A good time and very crowded usually during night time, there are also tons of store for socks, shoes and clothes. The price I think was okay, but you just need to know what are you planning to buy.
We just walk around the area and chilling. The vibe was a bit different from Myeong-dong. I would say my taste it more towards beauty shopping, but definitely planning to come here soon for cafe hopping.

13. Gwangjang Market (광장시장)🥘
Food. This is the heaven for that field but take note there aren't any Halal certificate area which eats at your own risk. I look around, and there are Sikhye (Korean sweet rice drink), vegetable pancake (Nokdu-jeon) and kimbap. I really like Sikhye especially during the hot day, it's refreshing!
I was just about to show mom the second floor of the market which is filled with silk, satin, and linen bed-sheet stores but it closed on Sunday, so yeah, maybe next time.

15. Namiseom Island (남이섬) 📸
There are so many things to talk about this Island! I love it and the adventure to get there is just surreal. From train to ferry to cycling, the mode of transportation is pretty impressive here in Nami Island. But, throughout the day, I felt calm, and it's a sweet escape from the city, and that's really important when I travel.
I was planning to hop on the zip wire initially before going for the ferry, but since there are a lot of people, I move to our plan B. Our journey starts with the ship to Youn ga ji ga (dosirak) to just walk around the area. It was pretty impressive when I know that you can stay there since there are cottages for rent.
You can also discover Petite France and Gangchon Railbike if you have time, but we didn't so we go back to Myeong-dong for our last dinner at Seoul.

16. Busan Jib Restaurant 🥘
Finally, a sad/happy ending has come to an end. Our last night at Seoul needs to end something related to Malaysian food. We overate seafood during Jeju Island trip, and we want some meat or to be exact Malaysian food. Clearly, Busan Jib Restaurant is a perfect way to end this trip.
It was said that their restaurant has Halal Korean and Malaysian food and there is a wide range of food choice and space are quite comfortable for location in Myeong-dong. The food is okay, not that as spicy as I was expected, really recommend for you to grab some food at Busan Jib restaurant.
