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.

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,

Photobucket
TOO CUTE!

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!

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!

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 (:

My Secret Mate @ Sinchon (Seoul)

After lunch at AtoZ, we looked for a cafe because X had to study for his midterms. Aww poor boy. Haha we came across a cafe in pastel colours earlier on and we decided on that. X has a thing for pastel haha

Its the cafe's policy that we have to order a drink each so I had an iced caramel macchiato

Photobucket
And X had an iced mocha

The drinks were good!

Banana chocolate caramel pancake

The flavoured cream was nice and even though it seemed like alot, we cleaned it all up! It was yummy! The pancake was thick but too tough. Overall, we enjoyed it (:

Photobucket
Cute cutlery

Photobucket

The rabbit woke up! Hahaha

My Secret Mate is a cute cafe where you can people-watch or just spend a lazy day reading magazines or surfing the net. The owners were really friendly and made us feel really welcomed. We can't exactly remember how much we spent here. X is guessing that its around 18,000 won. We spent a couple of hours here and we really liked the place (:

AtoZ Cafe @ Sinchon (Korea)

I met X near his school (Yonsei) and we were walking around Sinchon. We couldn't really find a place that we wanted to eat at and after a long time, we decided on AtoZ Cafe. Most of the cafes and restaurants in Korea provide free wifi so do ask them!

Beef sandwich
The sandwich was soft and the beef was tender. Even though its nothing out of the ordinary, it was satisfying and yummy

Photobucket
Chicken rose pasta
I was really intrigued by the "rose" in this dish's name and ordered it. But while I was eating it, I realised that maybe rose meant tomato? Haha there isn't a hint of rose in this dish. The sauce was sweet and the portion was generous despite the lack of chicken. The spaghetti was well-cooked too

Most of the restaurants here do not charge any service charge or government taxes, which is awesome of course haha. We paid about 20,000 won for this meal.

Service in every eatery we've been to so far has been superb! And almost all of them are elaborately designed and carefully decorated. Can't help but fall in love with Korea (:
