[Travel in March/April 2018-2019]

(!!!!Updated on April 2019)

Today, I’m so excited to share with you one of the best cafe finds this trip! It’s so good that I visited twice in a week, yes twice!

Right in the middle of a quaint little street in the town of Jongno-gu, there lies a quiet vintage-looking cafe with the fluffiest, softest and indulgent souffle pancakes. If you’re looking to indulge in one of Seoul’s current sweet pleasures, do read on!

Dongbaek’s signature is their souffle pancakes that comes in different flavours. With interiors inspired by the 1960s, the cafe is totally Instagram worthy – decorated with cushioned chairs, lined with wooden interiors and drinks served in old English cups and plates that will take you back in time.

Once you step inside, you would be greeted by pastry chefs hard at work, whipping and creating the softest whipped cream.

It’s so appetising looking at this! haha :p

The menu is fairly simple – there are different types of coffee and tea, perfect to go with their signature souffle pancakes!

My cousin tried their Cream Coffee (Mocha) while I tried the Strawberry Tea which both of us loved a lot!

My friend tried their Iced Flora Coffee! She loves it too!

Filled with fresh strawberries!

The first time I went with my cousin, we had to queue up for more than an hour! We almost gave up, but when we saw the staff serving these plates of souffle pancakes, we decided we had to give this is try as they look too good to be true (and yes, they are indeed!)

Look at that generous serving of cream….. omg it’s as good as it tastes!

The second time I brought my friends with me, we ordered the Strawberry Fruit Tea and Iced Drip Coffee! We enjoyed the aroma and fragrance of the drinks, they went really well with the sweetness of the pancakes.

Can’t help it to post so many photos of it because it just tastes so good!

The souffle pancakes are light and fluffy, stacked with fresh strawberries and strawberry jam, dripped with fresh whipped cream. Each time I took a bite, I could taste the buttery goodness of each piece, and the sweetness is all natural from the fresh strawberries used.

[Update in April 2019]
This time, when I travelled during Cherry Blossom period, there’s something new in the menu – Cherry Blossom Souffle. Sharing with friends who loves cherry! (I still prefer the strawberry souffle!)

Cherry Cream!

Still the usual fluffy pancake that makes you want to have more!

Presentation to the point!

Instead of just strawberry, you get some cherry too!

Apgujeong Rodeo: Café Dior by Pierre Hermé

슈퍼스타 — Wed, 17 May 2017 01:38:05 +0000

[Travel during March-April 2017]

So many friends asked the same thing – “What’s so nice about Korea?” “Huh, you been there 14times already?” “Why not save the money to go elsewhere?” I got all the shocking looks and questions after knowing how much I love to visit Korea. My perfect yearly plan is to visit once in March and another late of the year. That’s because I can get to everything I wanted to do in Korea from Shopping, Grooming to Cafe. Yes that’s quite a keyword – Cafe Hopping. No Doubt, there’s so many cafes around the world, and waiting for me to explore too. But, Korea’s cafe give a really unique feel and their theme + concept are so different from each other (beware, there’s a few more cafe postings to come!!!!) I love how different the dessert/coffee are being served differently in Korea, and how different each cafes have their unique selling points to attract different audience. This definitely makes why cafe culture so strong in Korea too!

On this special day, I brought my cousin to Cafe Dior by Pierre Herme on her very special birthday this year. We should have the best meal today and decided to have a cafe days through out and ended at Namsan (more on that later!)

#that’s us exciting to go for our first cafe on our tai tai day!
