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!

[!!!] 30th April 2016, Goodbye! I can’t forget that I visited it after attending BEAST’s GIVEMI Challenge Concert where Junhyung was injuried and not able to attend. Junhyung’s uncle updated us at the cafe that he was getting better now Thank you Junhyung’s appa personally made the black tea latte that I really love! I will miss every good memories, and hopefully one day, we will all get to drink and eat it again

[!!!] Updates, HABRUNCH will be opened till 28 April 2016, your last 2 weeks to do the last visit before its closed! Let Junhyung’s father knows that everyone actually love his cafe, and the black tea latte he made was really awesome!  

I visited Cafe The Med in March 2015, and during 2015 July, there’s news regards that they changed the franchise to HABRUNCH. As Junhyung’s fan, how can I not visit this cafe after they remodelled it? hehehe!!! So, I am taking this opportunity to revisit the cafe, and try their juk!

From their latest updates March 2016, HABRUNCH have more varieties on their All-Day-Breakfast/Dessert options. I have yet went to the cafe since they had the new menu. So, I need to revisit it again to try their new dish hahaha

Since its a franchise cafe, the outlook definitely look different from Cafe the Med

More interiors decor that symbolise Junhyung!

Got myself a new card, as the previous one was for Cafe the Med

I went during Junhyung Birthday week, so that explain Junhyung Birthday Sleeve! :DDDDD

I bought this! Maybe because its Junhyung birthday? Junhyung appa wrote a 1 for 1 discount promotion for that week! And I bought it immediately!

And our food came shortly after the drinks! :DDD
