Greysuitcase Travel Diary: Supertree Grove, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore.

Supertree Grove

March 16, 2016 by greysuitcase in Travel, Singapore

I've read about it, seen millions of pictures of it, heard about it from tons of different people, and I finally visited it during my last trip to Singapore. The place that looks like it came straight out of the Avatar movie, the Supertree Grove at the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. I know, I know, I'm probably a little late checking this place out since it has been opened for almost 4 years now. But hey, better late than never right?

I have to say the place is super awesome! Seeing and being under those huge tree-like structures made me feel like an ant. For real. Or at least that's what I imaged how ants view us humans (only multiplied that by a hundred or something). I definitely did a lot of neck exercising & look ups when I explored this place. There is also an elevated walkway between two larger supertrees that you can walk on if you decide to check out the aerial view of the garden. If you've never been here, I definitely recommend you to come check out the place (plus they have a couple of attractions in the Gardens by the Bay, which I will be posting on separate posts). Totally worth the visit. A little tip: you might wanna go on a good weather day, or no rain day at least, because the walkway is closed during a bad weather days.

Special thanks to Venus & Jessica, two great local instagrammers who were kind enough to offered to take me around the Gardens for a little meet-up/photowalk session. You'll see them sporadically in a couple of my shots in this Singapore series ;) Go check out their amazing instagram gallery! Venus (@ohvl) & Jessica (@chanchants).

San Francisco Restaurant Series: Hog Island Oyster Co., Ferry Building, San Francisco.

Hog Island Oyster Co.

Hog Island Oyster Co.
March 14, 2016 by greysuitcase in Food, San Francisco, Weekend

I've been to San Francisco Ferry Building so many times but this was my first time trying out Hog Island Oyster Co. with my mom during one of our lunch outings. The place seems to be always packed every time I passed by. This time was no difference. We had to wait for 30 min or so for our table. Not too bad I guess since we came right during the lunch hour rush. We were seated right in front of the guys who are shucking the oysters. It was really interesting to see them opening one after the other. Their food was overall great. I'm no foodie so I can't really describe each of the items we ordered in great details, but they all tasted fresh and delicious, each with different distinct flavors. My favorite was their clam chowder. The clam chowder has a nice tasty broth and they are pretty generous with the amounts of clams and other ingredients in the soup. It was a really fulfilling and satisfying bowl of chowder. Can't go wrong with ordering their clam chowder at this place.

Patmiok's (팥미옥) chocolate snowflake bingsu (초코 눈꽃빙수), one of the great bingsu cafe in Seoul.

Chocolate Snowflake Bingsu

March 10, 2016 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Patmiok's (팥미옥) version of chocolate snowflake bingsu (초코 눈꽃빙수) is my favorite chocolate bingsu that I've tasted so far. The thing about it is that it's not overly too sweet and those really crunchy chocolate toppings are just delicious. They also offer two different serving sizes for your order that you can choose from—1 person or 2 persons (1인/2인) serving. This location that I visited is the one located in Sinchon (신촌) area, but they have multiple locations all over Seoul so you can find them in different neighborhoods as well. I would definitely recommend this bingsu, especially if you are a fan of chocolate.

San Francisco Cafe series: Saint Frank Coffee, San Francisco, California.

Saint Frank Coffee

March 07, 2016 by greysuitcase in Cafe, San Francisco

Walking into Saint Frank Coffee kinda feels like walking into an office space, or a library, cos everybody there seemed to be working on their laptops or tablets or papers. And the place was pretty quite. I really love this place tho. The cafe is more spacious than how it looks like from the outside and there is plenty of natural lighting coming in from the ceiling above. Came here with the fam to get some breakfast and my dad seemed to like their coffee (can't remember what he ordered tho :P). Anyways, I can totally see myself coming here to get some work done. Just hope that I can get an empty table next time.

Wishing everybody a great week ahead! :)

Graduation day Hanbok portrait session in Seoul, South Korea.

Graduation Day

March 04, 2016 by greysuitcase in Moments, Portraits, Seoul, South Korea

Last summer, some of my friends from Yonsei Korean Language School finished their 6-levels language program and I got the chance to attend their graduation day. It was truly a bittersweet moment. I've became good friends with some of these people and I know how hard they studied and worked for to get to this point. I was truly happy for them for completing the whole program and made it this far. On the other hand, it was kinda of sad because I know we probably won't be able to see each other that often anymore. A good number of people are going back to their home countries after this graduation to go on with their next chapter of life and, to be honest, I don't know when I will be able to see some of them again in the future. Even so, I'm grateful for the experiences and good memories that we've shared together during the short time that we have in school. Some I got to be friends with and some, I'm even lucky enough to call my good friends. 

It's apparently a tradition at Yonsei KLI to wear Hanbok for graduation day, so almost everybody wore Hanboks at the ceremony. I went for a little fun impromptu photoshoot with a couple of my friends to commemorate their last day at school. Sharing with you some of my favorite shots from that afternoon. Hope everybody have a great weekend ahead! :)
