Black Pork Samgyeopsal @ Jeju Island
This Korean Barbecue restaurant offers a delicious black pork meat. They have varieties and meat part to choose from. They have all you can eat side dishes such as coleslaw, pink radish, green onions with homemade sauce, fish cake slices, fresh lettuce, perilla leaves and their ever delicious kimchi.
We paid about S$60 for an 800 grams of varied black pork meat parts, a bottle of soju, 2 servings of rice because rice is life! They also serve complimentary bottomless hot tea.
The staffs and owners are very friendly, accommodating and because the ambiance of the place is chill and relaxing we end up having lunch and dinner at this place thrice! We ended up having seafood kimchi soup as loyalty reward!
This is located about 300 hundred meters from the foot of seongsan ilchulbong mountain. You can have your congratulatory meal here after trekking the sunrise mountain.

Not a lot of people which makes the service even greater. The staffs were prompt and they are all smiles when they were bringing in the food.

Macao Imperial Tea
This Tea house is located in Cebu IT Park, Lahug. It is across KFC.
They have a wide range of flavours to choose from both caffeinated and decaffeinated drinks. However when we reach there we were only able to have the ube cake as the other cake flavours were sold out.
Personally, the taste of the cake is ok but the drinks are worth trying out.
The packaging/ cups and bottles of their drinks look very sturdy and fancy. The ambiance of the place is quite nice and chill.
Price ranges from 120-295 php depending on the drink size.
