As I have promised,
Who doesn't want to taste the sweet spicy savoury Korean dish right when you are in South Korea?
After thousands of dramas and variety shows that you have been watching. Smacking lips when you heard they slurping the ramyun, sweating while eating the spicy ddeokbokki (rice cakes) ... ah~ me and my food heaven ~
So here are fews eateries that I have tried in Seoul that have food that is permissible for Muslim to eat!
Let's start where to eat in Seoul for Muslims~ ^^
1. Chungmu Kimbab in Myeongdong!
This is my first favourite restaurant that I would find whenever I'm in Myeongdong! Well~ my love for seafood never dies! They serve you a plate of mini plain kimbab with spicy squid and radish kimchi. They made me fall in love with radish kimchi! The combination of the spicy squid and the crunchy radish together with the kimbab is just AWESOME!
They only sell chungmu kimbap with the side dishes there. No other meat!
And if you can't eat spicy, I would rather not recommend you to eat here because the squids burn your mouth :) *actually I can't eat spicy food but I like them, so to be in pain is a pleasure... crying*

| this is just one serving :D |
One serving costs around 7000+krw . Couldn't remember the exact price the last time I visited -__-'
Address: 3-12, Myeongdong 2(i)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea
2. Yoogane
This was suggested by my friend on my third time visiting South Korea. I have never try this before.*was so lazy to find restaurant to eat and love samgak kimbab too much*
Do note that this restaurant isn't certified as Halal restaurant.
Yogane is actually a restaurant that is famous with their chicken! But we are here not to eat chicken ok! The only thing on the menu that we could order was Seafood Fried Rice! If you have been dreaming or fantasying to see how Koreans cook in front of you, on your table, then this is your chance!
You have to order by portion. And I mean it by how many people are eating.
The one I have visited was in Myeongdong and Hongdae. Both offer different price and don't ask me the reason why. I'm not working there ~.~
Price per person : Myeongdong 5500₩ & Hongdae 5000₩They'll have the rice, yangyeom (seasoning), kim (shredded dried seaweed) and plate of seafood such as squid, shrimp etc on your table and they'll start cooking! ^^ After just a few minutes, it will be ready to eat~ Yummm~

| This one was in Myeongdong :) |
Psst, something to note is that .... you can add cheese and whatsoever (of course with additional price) in your fried rice. Just look into the menu! We added cheese and it's deli deli deliciouuuuusssss~
3. Boa Travel House
Searching for halal jajangmyun? Or maybe halal ban ban chicken ( half half seasoned chicken)? Or even wanting to picnic beside Hangang (Han River) with dosirak (bento)?
Then, this is the perfect place for you!
They offer halal food especially variety of dosirak and a lot more halal menu for you to fill up your stomach before or after exploring Seoul! This restaurant is actually at the ground level of Boa Travel House. It is located in Hongdae *but like at the end of Hongdae*. It is easy to find actually!

| Jjajangmyun come to me~ |
I went there for jjajangmyun. I've been dying to taste jjajangmyun in Korea T.T Finally I got it~ (burp)
The price is somehow affordable and I believe a lot of Malaysian had stayed there before *by looking at the wall full with thanks and Malaysian flag* . It's a worth to visit eatery! ^^
4. EID
This one is known by most Malaysian I guess. It's EID ! ^^
This is a halal restaurant located in Itaewon. It offers a limited choice of food on the menu but it's worth to try out! I've went there once when I was on my solo trip. I ordered bulgogi and the portion is more than enough! Too much actually for me TT.TT but it is worth your money. Considering they offer halal dishes, the price is affordable. If you're on a tight budget once a blue moon would be good to pay a visit at this restaurant.
The side dishes and my bulgogi were perfect. And just like normal Korean restaurant, nahhh don't be shy~ if you would like them to refill your banchan (side dishes)! I asked for more kimchi. I just love kimchi soooo sooooo much~
The staffs were lovely and most of them are Malaysian so it is easy to communicate (in Malay and English). It will be good to visit the restaurant on days other than Friday because there will be a lot of customers on that day. Heard this tips from the staff that was answering a pakcik question ~

| EID . |
This is the first Korean Halal eatery that I visited when I first in S.K. Naahhh don't ask me for the pictures cuz I couldn't find it. That's the era where I'm using Note2 and I don't bother to take food picture because grumbling stomach comes first!
The food on menu is limited but they have stew~ that I wanted to try so badly! It is really yummy~
However, Muree is a bit expensive (for me). It costs around 10000+krw. And you can't refill the side dishes TT_TT. Not sure how much it costs now cuz the last time I visited was like 2 years ago. The chefs are Korean and no need to worry as all the food is halal there! This one is really yummy :) Recommended to visit if you have extra budgets for food :D
I guess these are the only eateries that I have visited. I won't post any eateries that I have never try.
Well, money does matter and though I love food so much, I didn't eat a lot in S.K . Weird but that's the truth. I just use all the money to buy album ;_; and weirdly I don't feel hungry......weird.......
There is actually another eatery in Itaewon : Makan (if I'm not mistaken) but I have never pay visit to it. Maybe next time? ^^
Thank you for reading my informal bad English *cries* and enjoy your day in South Korea without feeling hungry ^^ xoxo
