Mango Plate Korea
Facebook Page | Instagram

Known as a foodie hub of Asia, the creators of Mango Plate realized the lack of a medium that connects foreigners and expats to the Korean food scene. They simply want to help bridge that gap and help people become familiar with the ever-changing food scene in Korea. With a definite penchant for fun, an often updated blog and an extensive palate, this is definitely a handy account to keep in pocket.

Calling herself a newbie travel blogger/expat (though writing well-crafted blog posts that bely her inexperience), Cil is a Filipina aspiring to be an environmental scientist. Studying by day, and travelling wherever possible, her insightful updates and thoughtful blogposts are really interesting – especially for expats thinking to enrol in education abroad
