[Travel in March 2024] It’s Shumin’s birthday today, and we have a full day planned. We started with our favorite quick drink at Twosome Place, then headed to Myeongdong for an early lunch at Shumin’s favorite, Myeongdong Kyoja (명동교자). Our day includes visits to several cafes, like 동백양과점 (Dong Baek) and SOHA SALT POND, along…
[Travel in March 2024] I actually bought about this place in 2014. 10 years later, I thought I should update the food photos haha! When visiting Korea for the first time, it’s common for most people to go to MDKJ, a famous restaurant in the country. Nowadays, they have several outlets in Myeongdong. The original…
[Travel in March 2024] I didn’t initially plan to visit this cafe because it’s quite overhyped and not very new. It’s already all over the web and needs no introduction, haha. But since it was on my way, I thought, why not grab a cup of hot milk tea? I really wanted a warm drink,…
[Travel in March 2024] I’ve had my doubts about the Salted Bread trend in Korea. It seems like every café and bakery offers it, even major chains like Paris Baguette. But are they actually as good as they’re hyped up to be? Is it worth waiting in line for them? the famous store, where they…
[Travel in March 2024] My first stop for the trip was at an official café. The previous day was filled with errands, during which my cousin and I did a lot of shopping and treated ourselves to a refreshing hair treatment, all to prepare for a great week ahead in Korea. I was thrilled when…
[Travel in March 2024] Getting a perm and hair treatment is always at the top of my to-do list whenever I visit Korea—their services are top-notch! However, during Covid, it’s been tough not being able to pamper my hair in Korea. That’s why I’ve realized I need to plan my trips a day earlier just…
[Travel in March 2024] Hey there! Guess what? I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just returned from my 20th trip to Korea! Not many people get the chance to travel this much, especially to the same country so many times. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed. As a way of giving back, I want to…
[Travel in December 2022 – January 2023] This will mark my final post for my Korea 2022/2023 series! To be frank, I never imagined that my 12-day trip would yield enough material for 45 posts. At times like these, I’m truly grateful for the support of those around me, enabling me to share abundant content…
[Travel in December 2022 – January 2023] Accommodation – Peter Cat Hotel I was worried that the accommodation in December will be fully booked – I booked Hokkaido in April (for year end trip) but dropped the idea of travelling there as the air fare was really scary (imagine the cost of the tickets from…
[Travel in December 2022 – January 2023] I have a lengthy list of cafes I’ve been eager to visit, especially since Covid. Although it’s challenging to check off all of them, I’ve made it a goal to try out as many as possible. For my final day of the trip, I typically prefer something more…
