We were hungry and couldn't decide where to eat so we just entered the mall, after walking a bit,  I saw the Korean writings of the place and decided that I wanted Korean food again.

Pictures of people who have eaten here

You would never expect that an authentic mini Korean food place would be situated near food places that are Mediterranean, Italian etc.



After ordering very quickly, we took group pictures while waiting. The place gives you a cozy home vibe.

It's quite obvious that I looked hungry already in the group picture because I was really hungry.

4 side dishes

We ordered 3 sets with free side dishes. The kimchi here is spicy and seasoned well. That's just my opinion but I think this is one of the best tasting kimchi I've eaten. I just forgot to ask if they sell Kimchi here. I'd probably just go back to ask some time soon

 The store is divided into sections.

H&M Women

H&M Men Outside Display

Beautiful Lighting

My friend bought T-shirts

She bought the red bonnet

Christmas Decors

Home Section (1st H&M Home)

This is where you can buy stylish pillow cases, blankets, shower curtains, etc. to change the appearance of your rooms and make it the way you want it to look because of the different theme choices.

She bought again!

This space shows the making of yogurt



There were posters in the place that tell that Greek yogurt is a healthier form of yogurt but I wasn't able to take a picture of that.

The place was so cozy, cool and spacious so think this would be a nice place to read books also because of the lighting and chairs.


I'm no fan of yogurt but I eat it because I know that it's healthy and I've tried yogurt before in White Hat so I know that yogurt tastes good too.

I want to share our short tour of Century Mall.  If you haven't been to this mall, I suggest that you visit this mall for relaxation, dining out or some shopping.

We wanted to just go out and have a new scenery so we headed to an unfamiliar mall called Century Mall.  I have an idea that this mall is an upscale mall just by searching the net. And here we are for a group pic that was not so good at all.
 It was still Christmas season as you can see from the decors.



Century mall had shops that were new to us.  It had a very modern feel.

I was so full after eating at a buffet to celebrate my birthday so I decided to drink something hot.
I ordered the red velvet drink because I was so into red velvet crinkles these days and I wanted something new.

                                            

Where is Ga Mi Jung?
It is located in Sumulong Highway in Antipolo. You can commute to Ga Mi Jung by riding the LRT/jeep/UV express to Santolan station. From Santolan station, you must ride the Antipolo/Cogeo jeep and tell the driver to drop you off at Masinag Junction (click the link for the image of the place)

From there, you have to ride a tricycle (5 minute ride) going to the said Korean restaurant. The place is not easy to go to when commuting but it is worth the effort.

Ga Mi Jung offers a wide selections of authentic Korean dishes as seen in the menu pages below. The menu was so detailed as every dish had a clear colored picture which helped us decide better even if we were not knowledgeable about a dish.








Free side dishes were served in small bowls

Kimchi is always part of every korean meal. The kimchi tastes spicy enough to make me eat it only sparingly. They also sell kimchi at this restaurant which I bought for like 170.00 pesos for 1 kilo if I remember it correctly.
Gamjajeon is korean-style potato pancakes (jeon)
Namul is steamed, marinated, or stir-fried vegetables usually seasoned with sesame oil, salt, vinegar, minced garlic, chopped green onions, dried chili peppers, and soy sauce. In our case we have cucumbers.

I felt like we were really eating in Korea because we had many (free) side dishes (banchan).



Even the utensils were like the ones you use in Korea- metal chopsticks and long-handle spoons.


The furniture were also very Korean. I was anticipating that the food will be authentic Korean which made me excited to eat.


This is what we ordered. This is way too much for 3 persons so I suggest you order just enough.

Our food

I have taken individual pictures of the dishes as seen below.
