Jeju Island's Hidden Gem: The "Secret World" Tucked Inside a World Cup Stadium

If you think you’ve seen everything Jeju Island has to offer, think again. After 11 years away, I expected to see changes, but I never expected to find a literal  "Secret World"  hidden right underneath the seats of the  Jeju World Cup Stadium . Can't believe I'm at the hosting venue of FIFA World Cup 2002 Completed in 2001, in time for the event in 2002 Hosted 3 matches of FIFA World Cup 2002 The Grandeur of Jeju World Cup Stadium Before we even stepped inside to find the hidden gem, the stadium itself was a sight to behold. Its unique roof design is known to resembles traditional Jeju fishing nets (or Bangat-no), it was one of the host venues for the  2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea. It’s a impressively massive structure that sits beautifully against Jeju landscape. The unique roof design of the stadium While most people only visit for the sports history or the architecture, it’s what lies beneath the stands that really caught my attention.

Food Review | Peach Garden [[CLOSED AT OCC]]

I guess I'm the sort of food blogger who doesn't go around the island to get a taste of the different variety of food available in Singapore. But I will make an effort to explore a new place when I have a date with my husband or my bestie. And that is when you will see my review. 

Long story cut short. So I brought my husband for a birthday treat here at Peach Garden @ Orchid Country Club which is just a 5 minutes drive from our home. Convenience and also we can get some groceries from NTUC if needy.

Honestly I have no idea of what Peach Garden has to offer but knowing that it is a Chinese restaurant and serves Cantonese cuisine, the variety will somehow be the same as what other restaurants has to offer so it shan't fail us in terms of the quality and taste.

XO酱萝卜糕拼咸蛋软壳蟹 
Fried Carrot Cake w XO Chili Sauce accompanied with Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab with Salted Egg Yolk 

The carrot cake can be done in smaller cubes. Soft shell crab is crispy and love it when it is coated with salted egg yolk. 


虫草花乌鸡炖天使翅 
Double-boiled Yoshikiri Shark’s Fin with Black Chicken and Cordycep Flower 

Good to have though the shark fins can be a little bit more. Chinese herbs used to nourish our body.


金银蒜蒸鲈鱼扒 
Steamed Fillet of Sea Perch with Golden Garlic and Superior Soy Sauce 

It brings out the real taste of the fish through garlic without having much seasoning. Guilt-free dish.


黄金汁大明虾 
Pan-fried King Prawn with Pumpkin Sauce

Prawn can be fresher, sauce was nice and blends well with the food.


鲍鱼仔炒鸳鸯饭 
Fried “Ying Yang” Rice with Baby Abalone 

Mild savoury taste and uses brown rice. Baby abalones too cute and chewy. Healthier choice to be honest.


精美甜品 
Mango-Sago 

A decent and refreshing dessert with small chunks of mango. 


The good thing about choosing a set menu is that you save the time in deciding and they will portion out before serving up individually. And you won't over eat or waste food. On the other hand, you just gotta take whatever is set for you in the menu. You may not like one thing or two from the menu. 

Do make a reservation online before you decided to go for a meal. Enjoy!
