I have seen some blogs that mentioned Banjudam have converted into a pretty cozy cafe. I have yet visit the cafe, but it is still at the same location. I’m unsure if this was still manageable by the family but do let me know if you visited

[UPDATED ON 18 JUNE 2014]

Banjudam is CLOSED (according to tweets from SS501’s fans)

[UPDATED ON 15 AUGUST 2013]

During my August Seoul Trip (Yes, I went again…), I visited Banjudam again for their food. I will blogged again in separate entry, but I would like to highlight here in this entry that, Banjudam is no longer open for business during Lunch Hours. They are only opened at night from 6pm-12midnight Night ambience are great and Im sure you will love this place with such romantic ambience.

BANJUDAM 반주담

Yes, this is Park Jung Min’s Mom restaurant, and we managed to go there during our last few days of the trip… so glad that we visited here without any hesitation! BECAUSE OF THE YUMMY FOOD haha! Teeheehee~~ Oh yes, JM’s sister and mom say that we were able to share this restaurant to our friends and bring them here to eat and play with the dogs heehee, and sister mentioned that we must take great and beautiful photos… she is so cute!

Personally, I feel, even a non-fan who wish for a great meal should visit here. They served great pasta at a reasonable price. Then again, fans shouldn’t swarmed around the area just to wait for PJM, the food there is worth the visit. I’m sure you know what I mean after visiting ^^ It’s also show respect to his mom and sister by give them more space as much as possible, they are not just a celebrity’s family members… They are Restaurateur who make great delicious food for you.

We went around lunch time to have our brunch there, and its already beautiful in the interior and exterior. I heard, the night view was great too. Maybe I shall visit it again the next time for dinner…. it’s gonna be great too. (Thinking about the food – Yummy!)

#this is how it look like from outside! The exterior is in Grey and White… the little bit of Green Carpet makes it look homely. (oh! Green for SS501 too!)

#overall look.

#inside, there’s a mirror on the left which make the entire restaurant look bigger. The interior designer is good!

#melted candles… haha, and also 2 little houses for PJM’s kids.

#I love the interior of the restaurant. It’s like in Black and White concept.

#we were sitting down in this small corner where they are able to take in 2 group of 4-diners.

#we sat here!

#I heard many people was saying that this beautiful chandeliers came from his previous shop – Royal Avenue.

#the menu, Lunch menu differ from Dinner menu too. I personally feel the food is really really affordable for such great restaurant. *thumb up!*

#Water served in wine bottle, I love the entire feel of this restaurant.

#my strawberry smoothies taste really good! *recommend to order!*

#Kimchi Fried Rice – It has the —- Home taste!

#Salad Pasta (Cold dish) was really appetizing for us. Its a mixture of Salad and Pasta which is really good for the start!

#THUMB UP STARX501 – Kimchi Pasta. It’s really good, and I saw a few diners ordering this too. Everything was just good and nice for this. The taste was so great that you will probably asked for more for this dish! It’s really delicious, I will recommend everyone to try this!

#3dory.

And, we was about to leave….. PJM’s sister approached us and asked if we could wait for another 10minutes as her mom wanted to cook something for us. We were delighted and of cos, shocked that we able to try something her mom prepared just for us. *happy*

#Rice Cake Toast. It was really delicious. It has tiny bits of cinnamon too which I really love it, the taste was great.
This dish was prepared hot, and the toast came in soft, the rice cake was so chewy. It has an unforgettable after taste.

#close up of how it look. (If i not wrong, this is available for dinner menu) ^^

We fare goodbye to his mom and sister, telling them, we were leaving in a few days time.
