If you’ve never heard of Seongsu-dong until now, you’re not alone. This trendy neighbourhood is mainly known among locals, and is often called the Brooklyn of Seoul. On the weekends, you’ll find lots of young millennials coming here for craft coffee and organic restaurants. My main intention for visiting Seongsu-dong was to try Grandmother’s Recipe, … Continue reading Today’s Enough Espresso Bar
Even if you don’t use the KakaoTalk messaging app, chances are that you’ve seen the adorable Kakao Friends characters before, with the most popular ones being Ryan (the lion, not a bear!!) and Apeach, the absolutely cute & feisty peach. Kakao Friends stores are ALL over Korea, and many of them are often packed with … Continue reading Kakao Friends Hongdae Flagship Store & Ryan Cafe
I had always wanted to visit one of Korea’s numerous animal cafés (you’ll be absolutely stunned by the type of animals they actually keep in these cafés, including meerkats, sheep, llama, and what have you), and in 2019 I finally got the chance to visit one of the most popular dog cafés in Seoul – Bau House!

When it comes to stuff like hunting down famous food places, I usually leave it to my friends and family to do it, because I’m not really the kind of person who will intentionally hunt down these places.

I heard that this cafeé chain was very famous, but the first question that came to my mind was: “Who’s Miss Lee?” To be honest, I still don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. Miss Lee Café is easily spotted from far away, thanks to who I can only assume is Miss Lee, perched on a bench … Continue reading CAFÉ CHAIN: Miss Lee Café (Insadong)
I know, I know, Gong cha is not new to many of us, but we certainly missed it a lot when it disappeared from Singapore for a few months in 2017. Therefore, I was super excited to see Gong cha stores in Korea during that year to get a dose of this milk tea goodness. … Continue reading CAFÉ CHAIN: Gong cha
If you have read my beauty blog (sorry for shameless plug HAHA), you may know that I am a big fan of Innisfree – partly because they do such a brilliant job with their branding & marketing, and also because I really like their lip products, heh. We actually heard about the Innisfree Green Café … Continue reading Innisfree Green Café

Another coffee chain to add to the list! Unlike its Korean counterparts, Pascucci is actually an Italian coffeehouse chain that is run by SPC Group in Korea. But it’s not just any coffee chain – it has appeared in Korean dramas! The outlet in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu in Seoul, South Korea was used as one of the main filming locations for Seoul … Continue reading CAFÉ CHAIN: Caffè Pascucci
