[Sinsa Garosu-gil] Kitchen Lab 키친랩
[Travel in March/April 2017]
With Six+One or My cousins, I will always make the initiatives to plan for our Korea trip. That’s because, I visited really alot of times, and as someone so close to them, I will know where to bring them, and what type of holiday they probably looking for. As for my this #weseoulchio, they are really friends who can’t eat spicy foods, and most korean cuisine are spicy. There’s some i wanted to bring them to try but I guessed its too spicy for them (Sinsa Octopus / Potato Stew) so, I thought a pasta place will be good for them hence, we trying Kitchen Lab. (Oh, did I tell you before, in Korea, almost every other things taste good despite they might be non-korean dishes?)
So, let me share some of the dishes we ate during our last trip! :)
#very simple looking menu~
#aglio e olio looks really good, and its quite a big plate to share~!
#hidden surprise, the pasta is inside this “bomb” Seafood pasta!
#and creamy risotto (i think its like tomato + cream sauce mix?)

[Sinsa Garosu-gil] Cafe Mula 카페뮬라
[Travel in March/April 2017]
I have been wanting to visit Mula because of the interior of how the cafe looks like. It’s doesn’t disappoint us as we spent really alot of times taking photos outside of Cafe Mula as well as the indoor too. So much that, we felt a little shy to do that – but we still haha :p I love how everything look so minimalist and this is really the beauty of the cafe. I totally forget about what the cafe serves :p We also decided to give Felicia a little birthday surprise that day! :)
#so pretty right?

#yeah, this is where we keep taking photos non-stop! haha :p

[Itaewon: Hangangjin] Passion5 패션5
[Travel in March/April 2017]
I always love strawberry and one of my crazy dream is to own a strawberry cafe in a shape of a strawberry! haha!!! So, I tried to visit many cafes that specialise strawberry as much as I can too. Well, if my dream of having a strawberry cafe doesn’t come true, I will have really enjoyable research on strawberry dessert haha.
This is one of the cafe I have been wanting to visit, but Itaewon, honestly wasn’t a place we visited often unless there’s a purpose? haha (I had line cafe or lobster meal in Itaewon previously)
#chandelier is pretty, benefit of high ceiling! :)
#the seating area is quite limited. some here, and another few near the toilet.
So, we definitely spoilt for choices, you see, we only have 4 tiny stomach but we have more than 40 choices to pick! haha, it’s definitely difficult! :) I would love to pick all strawberries, like strawberries shortcake, strawberry tiramisu and strawberry eclair, well, maybe next time! :)
We picked strawberry shortcake + Coffee Tiramisu + Chocolate Eclair in the end.

[Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil] Bad Farmers 배드파머스: Healthy Food Bowl
[Travel in March/April 2017]
I think I have said many many times that coming to Korea is to enjoy all kind of food because, Korea served really great food from Pasta, Dessert (be it korean style or japanese style), Chinese food, Japanese etc etc. And I’m going to share with you something you will need after a long stay in Korea – Salad. Remember the last time I visited March Rabbit? It’s so good to have something light to eat after crazy food intake during your Korea trip. Bad Farmers food photo captivate my heart first follow by this little red house along Garosu-gil. It’s always special that Korea have so many ideas in having their cafe unique and different from the rest next to them.

Apgujeong Rodeo: MCM Haus Cafe
[Travel in March / April 2017]
Every Korea trip needs a MCM visit because I LOVE MCM :) We actually visited it after the Café Dior by Pierre Hermé and we were so full too.
Trying out many different bags, and I think I got some self-control somehow just because I thought I shldn’t be since I already spent the budget on my 3 weeks trip this time LOL. We were looking at bags and my cousin decided to get one as her birthday gift. The SA was really nice and patience. I remembered the one 4 years ago was so bad that they doesn’t even allow us to go to other floor to check out the bags -.- Well, I still visit the one at Apgujeong Rodeo often (or Sinsa’s). Oh did I mentioned, I received a tote bag from MCM too? She gave 2 and each of us got 1 each, so nice please!!!
SA told us if we want to visit their cafe, and I was still thinking if we have capacity to drink… but eventually, we gave in because, I really want to take a look at it haha.
It’s quite a simple yet very arty kind of setup with vibrant colours too. As mentioned the SA really very nice, they asked if we want coffee, and brew a cup for us that comes with cookies too. Did i told you, this is a complimentary? We thought, we need to pay for the coffee! haha. And, they even took polaroid for us too. So much love from MCM seriously! I actually appreciate every single help from Korea because, personally, I really think they are really nice and helpful in general.

Apgujeong Rodeo: Café Dior by Pierre Hermé
[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!
#beautiful! :)

#I have been to Paris, and ate Pierre Herme too. I don’t deny the macaroon is good, but I love the one made by Jolene too!
#breathtaking view.. Dessert view!
#basically my most important gadget I need for every trip – GOPRO HERO4 + SAMSUNG S7 EDGE!
#the dessert look so pretty, its definitely worth the cost!
#both of us order tea and i can’t remember what I order haha

Teenie Weenie Cafe at Myeongdong 티니위니커피 명동
SPA Fashion brands like H&M and Forever 21 are pretty familiar by many people all over the world. My friends love shopping at this fashion brands even at oversea like Korea or Australia. This fashion brands collections are trendy and fashionable that sold at much more affordable prices among youngsters. In Korea, they have their own self fashion brands like – Codes Combine, MIXXO, Topten10, SPAO and non other – Teenie Weenie. (One of my favourites SPA brand is MIXXO too, you gonna check out their store if you are there!)
” It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, so in the locker she wanted to stay”
Do you sing just like me when you get to first heard of Teenie Weenie? I hope, I am not the only one who do so! HAHA! :)
Teenie Weenie is catering to a younger group, but they sells wide variety from Casual, Retro, Rock, and Back to School concept which probably have something you really like. Their products range from backpack, coat, wallet to bedsheets, kitchenware too! Their new store in Myeongdong is 4 storey high inclusive a dessert cafe at the top level.
During my trip (March 2015), I actually visited the cafe and have a drink after a meal at Myeongdong Kyoja which I strongly recommend you to eat during your visit at Myeongdong! :) I love how the cafe looks like because its fit the theme very well – Sweet Cute Cheerful. My cousin and I really have a great time in the cafe busy taking photos haha.
#we are too full for anything, but a drink will be great. We order Lemonade and Green Tea Latte. I think Lemonade was pretty refreshing, but my cousin doesn’t like the GTL. She specially like the one at Caffe Bene and Cafe The Med – which I will blog about it next!
