I HAVE VISITED IT DURING MY 2019 SUMMER TRIP! WILL BE SHARING MORE AND RE-LINK HERE!!! 🙂

[!!!!] Gaepan have officially closed on 29 November 2016. It’s been a great 7 years for Minwoo’s family. Lots of memories created too. For me, I bring most of my favourite people there to have a meal as well. It’s been a total of 23 trips and many of them makes me a happy person because the food is just so yummy just so tasty. I missed the egg roll alot because I don’t think I can or able to find one that taste this good. Thank you Gaepan 🙂 

[Last Travelled in March/April 2016]

I have been wanting to blog about this “a-must-visit-restaurant-every-korea-trip” since my first visit in 2013. But, I thought, I must leave the best to the last. And, I really want many people to try their SUPER DUPER YUMMY Cheese Egg Roll and Chicken Stew, and yes even their Lunch Box is nicer than any other restaurants I visited! 🙂

(Note, if you have bought “Oppa! Take me to Korea!” travel book, I have guest-feature in the book on Gaepan too! I’m also 1 of the creative designers behind this awesome travel book too!)

Every Korea trip since then, is a must visit to Gaepan! I checked my swarm for the address and realise, I actually check-in for 19 times! Hence, you can imagine how many foods I have tried here before listed my favourite dish here! :p

르알래스카 Le Alaska at Garosu-gil https://hellosihui.com/2015/04/10/%eb%a5%b4%ec%95%8c%eb%9e%98%ec%8a%a4%ec%b9%b4-le-alaska-at-garosu-gil/ https://hellosihui.com/2015/04/10/%eb%a5%b4%ec%95%8c%eb%9e%98%ec%8a%a4%ec%b9%b4-le-alaska-at-garosu-gil/#comments Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:44:53 +0000 https://hellosihui.com/?p=6062 …]]> I first found out about Le Alaska because of Minwoo (of Shinhwa). He posted a picture of himself with shaved ice topped on a glass of Americano in his SNS. That drink really look very very interesting that my friend – Cin actually planned to go during one of our crazy trips. But we didn’t, because we didn’t have much time to slot it in.

I didn’t even managed to plan for my 2 trips last year, until this year. Because my friends wasn’t kpop fans, I must make sure its a worth-while bakery before bringing them over. I researched more about the bakery and realise that, it was pretty well-known and its even mentioned in CNN Travel article as one of the best french bakery in Seoul. I guessed it will be a great place to chill and have a lovely chat among us 🙂

Le Alaska that looks very much like a bakery you can easily find in france. The exterior is so pretty that you can’t help to take more photos.

#THIS IS FREAKING GOOD! The pastry is so crunchy and every single bite make you speechless. There’s only 1 left, and glad we took this! It’s really yummy with some filling that taste similar to Ferrero Rocher. Can I have it now?

My friend told me that, this is one of their best seller in the outlet. But, it doesn’t quite suit my taste. Jolene loves it though 🙂

I don’t drink Americano, so I picked a Green Grapes Juice 🙂 I have been coughing non-stop, I think juices will help more than latte :/

 photo IMG_1002 copy_zpsgrcm2guf.jpg
Caffe Latte, that they really love it. Le Alaska is really famous for their coffee and their pastry, so make sure you get something ‘right’ 😀
