We tried our hand at making Toowoomba Pasta with S

We tried our hand at making Toowoomba Pasta with Shin Ramyun last night and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious outcome.

Though named after a city in Australia, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the food there. I asked my sister and Australian brother-in-law to confirm, haha.

This dish has created a craze in Korea and originally features a spicy cream pasta with prawns. That said, Shin Ramyunn is currently hosting an event to see what recipes people can come up with for a Shin Ramyun Toowoomba version and so being the adventurous in the kitchen type, and always interested in Korea trends, we jumped in.

Follow @thesoulofseoulblog for more trends in Korea.

Our Shin Ramyun Toowoomba Recipe:
- Shin Ramyun (two packets)
- Butter
- Garlic
- Milk
-Onion
- Yellow Peppers
- Chicken
- Cheddar Cheese
- Broccoli (garnish)

1. Make a cream sauce with the butter, flour, and milk.
2. Add onion, yellow peppers, and garlic to summer until the sauce is thick.
3. Add the Shin Ramyun vegetable flakes and one spicy packet to the cream sauce and mix.
4. Add a protein. We opted for chicken that we already had.
5. Add the noodles to boiling water until almost finished.
6. Remove the noodles from the water and add them to the cream sauce.
7. Mix mix mix and then plate.
8. Garnish with broccoli. We opted for broccoli as it would be a break from what we expected to be quite spicy and it was perfect.

Would you try it?

Who knew Jeju could have such an adorable Christma

Who knew Jeju could have such an adorable Christmas market! If you’re looking to get into the holiday spirit on Jeju, here’s where you should go:

📍 Weihnachten Christmas Museum
Address: 456 Seogwang-ri, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do
Hours: 10:30am ~ 6:00pm*
When: November 23, 2024 ~ December 25, 2024

Tips:
- The navigation will take you to the exit, just keep driving ahead and go around the block. The road is narrow so you definitely don’t want to drive in the out.
- There isn’t a ton of parking for how many people are interested in attending, so just take your time to find a spot, which may be on the nearby street.
- They have mulled wine, advent calendars, vintage and antique items, a display of German Christmas decorations, ornaments, Matryoshka dolls, and so much more.
- Meet and talk with the local craft vendors. They have some great items and are very friendly.

This weekend we got to stay at Jeju901, a pension

This weekend we got to stay at Jeju901, a pension that focuses on health and wellness. Life in Jeju is slower, calmer, and can be healthier. Need a break from city life? Come here.

‘9’ in “901” means filling, ‘0’ means emptying, and ‘1’ symbolizes filling yourself anew. So, Jeju 901 means a place where you can empty yourself of stress and fill yourself anew to ready yourself for a more vibrant future. Jeju 901 is like a comma that offers a point of respite in the middle of an arduously long sentence.

They offer yoga and meditation classes daily and have a vegan restaurant on site with delicious food. The meals and drinks are prepared with organic home-grown ingredients. Even if you’re not staying here, stop in to eat.

Looking for a wellness adventure in Korea? Start here.

📍 @jeju901

I’m not going to lie (and I’ve made it no secr

I’m not going to lie (and I’ve made it no secret if you’ve met me), I loathe self-checkout. In Korea, more and more shops are going completely vendorless and even in restaurants, you should order from a kiosk.

The thing is, you lose a whole sense of community by removing these opportunities for conversation. Not to mention the fact that we’re not getting a discount for literally working for the companies making us work for our food now.

If I have the choice of self-checkout or that one cashier, I always go to the cashier. They’ve literally been trained to be more efficient, so why would I waste my time. But also, I love talking to cashiers, what’s new, oh does this have ____ in it? My daughter can’t eat that. Those kiosks at restaurants often don’t have ingredients listed. Is this spicy? What’s your most popular item? Staff are really the best salesmen.

It’s a whole thing for me. Suffice to say, anything to make it more polar “bearable” I suppose. At least this made me smile when I saw him.

How do you feel about all of the people-less shops and restaurants now?

Black strings cascade from the ceiling, filling the room with an ethereal haze. Letters rise from a solitary writing desk at the gallery’s center, symbolizing memory and the act of preservation.
