Towards the end of the day, we decided to head to the Han river to enjoy the night view.
On our way to the Banpo Bridge, we passed by a truck selling all these snacks. We bought a few and shared these. It's similar to what Singaporeans would call 'fishcake' with fillings inside. These snacks are really delicious and there are a variety of fillings to choose from. The Ahjumma and Ahjussi selling these snacks are also really friendly. They asked if we were going to the Han River and told us to enjoy ourselves.
What better ways to enjoy a summer night, the picnicking along the Han river near the Banpo bridge?
You get to enjoy the view with the Banpo bridge rainbow fountain and the view beyond. The best thing is the fried chicken and 'cider'! You can order fried chicken and picnic along the Han river. The drinks available is only 'cider but it is actually Sprite/fizzy drinks, not the cider that we thought.
Nonetheless, it was a totally different experience for us. Getting to order food along the river and have them delivered to us. It took some time for the delivery man to locate us, cause we couldn't communicate over the phone well (broken Korean from us and non-English speaking delivery man). Eventually, we were able to settle down and start our picnic!
There are a few delivery men with their motorbikes (all from different fried chicken restaurants) waiting for people to walk by at the Han River, so you can choose which fried chicken restaurant you want to order from. The delivery is about 30-45 minutes. So if you're hungry, better start ordering.
While we were eating, there was a busking activity going on and the mood was marvelous. With the breeze and the soothing music, we waited for the rainbow fountain to begin.
It was a unique experience for us since there is no such place along the Singapore river to picnic.
