Cafe Lamp @ Myeongdong (Korea)

After dinner at Yoogane, I wanted dessert so we looked for a cafe. And Cafe Lamp, which sits on the second level, caught our eyes!

X and I ordered an

Affogato
This was not bad! The portion was pretty generous! You seldom see three scoops of icecream

Photobucket
Iced Mocha
X felt that this was just alright.

And to our surprise, two cakes came along with our orders!
When we told the waitress that we did not order the cakes, she replied that the cakes and the drinks come in a set. That's a really good deal!

We paid 13,000 won for 2 drinks and 2 cakes. Thats only about $15 sgd!

Tiramisu and cheesecake

The cakes were not chilled. The cheesecake was light and kind of grows on you. The tiramisu was not bad too! They would have been nicer if they were chilled!

If you're in Myeongdong and you're looking for somewhere nice to chill, you can try Cafe Lamp!

Yoogane


We came across this while shopping and decided to have dinner here! I've heard about this place from a couple of friends and was quite excited! After a long day of shopping, I was really looking forward to a good meal

We ordered the one with seafood and chicken. After mixing this up and letting it cook for awhile, a plate of rice can be added in. So you get panfried rice with veggie, seafood and chicken.

Photobucket
One of the side dishes. The sauce was so nice! It was like sweet mayo with a tint of fruity flavour. I finished one bowl even though its vegetable. The sauce was too addictive! Korea has made me healthier definitely hahaha

Photobucket
This was prior to the addition of rice. No more pictures after this because we were too busy eating haha

It was a very filling and spicy dinner haha and it was good! The seafood was fresh and the rice was tasty. Although I almost died from the spiciness, I really enjoyed it!

Oh and they have outlets everywhere!

Hara Donuts @ Myeongdong (Korea)

We were shopping in Myeongdong when we came across Hara Donuts. The place looks pretty cute and we went to take a look. We could dine in with an order of just one donut, and so we did.

Simple but homely

Here's their bestseller! The original donut!

It tasted a little bit like ham chee peng to us haha. It's a little crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It's very different from the usual donuts that we have. Interesting! They have many other flavours but we didnt try them as we were going for dinner right after our little snack! Oh and their toilet bowl is controlled by many buttons. Pretty cool to have a toilet bowl that lifts up its cover just by pressing a button haha

 
Monday - Saturday : 10am -10pm
Sunday : 10am - 9pm

Aircafe @ Hongdae (Seoul)

We were looking for a cafe near our area because X had to study... haha so we were walking around and we couldn't decide which cafe to go to because there really were too many cafes. But we found Aircafe which is located on the third level.

Photobucket

We were intrigued by its name and proceeded upstairs to check it out.

This was beside the elevator.
This made me really excited. I mean, if the designs outside the cafe were already so cute, the cafe must be pretty!

Photobucket
This was in the lift.

Outside the cafe, on the wall

And we stepped in,

Croque Monsieur
This was crispy and cheesy! My favourite combination of ham and cheese! Pretty awesome simple fare

The croque monsieur and iced caramel macchiato came as a set and only cost 9,000 won. Although the coffee wasn't that nice. The place more than made up for it!

Photobucket
Loyalty card
Even the loyalty card is so cute...

We really like how everything in the cafe fits the theme! Aircafe is a really pretty and cozy place and it's definitely one of the cutest cafes! (:

Cafe Noriter @ Edae (Seoul)

After a really spicy tteokbokki lunch, we went shopping in the small alleys in Edae.
And we came across Cafe Noriter which sits on the second level above a retail store, near the APM mall. We just had to visit, and we sure made a great choice!

We went to the third level to find a seat

Hot chocolate
The chocolate was great! Although it was a little sweet, it was definitely one of the nicest hot chocolates I've ever had!

Photobucket
Iced peach tea

We spent quite a number of hours here. It was just so comfortable lying there on the carpeted ground, being surrounded by cushions. It was like having your own private space. The cafe also plays hits from Jason Mraz and Maroon 5. So we were singing along hahaha. This cafe would definitely be one of my favourite haunts if I were actually living in Korea. So beautifully designed (:
