Not sure what's this complimentary dessert.
Dinner at TWG Tea (ION Orchard).
Nice teapot.
Eggs Benedict
Chicken Ragout
Cheesecake of unknown flavour. The first bite tasted weird but it tasted so good after that till we were craving for more.
Used her Polaroid printer to print out wefies taken in Korea.
Bought desserts from Ladurée!
Rose flavours are the best!

Back at Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory (313@Somerset) for finger-licking Korean fried chicken again!
Lady Killer is good, but Joo Bar's version is better.
Interesting Blue Sky Tok Tok. But what is tok tok?
Nest Snow Chicken. Still wowed by the dollop of whipped cream on top of fried chicken tenders.
Garlicky Wings is my new favourite! Subtle garlic taste ftw.

Dinner at Dazzling Cafe when it was still at its soft launch phase. Good that I wasn't working then, else I'd have to queue to get a table.
Caramel Latte Macchiato
Truffle Mushroom Risotto with Freshly Shaved Truffle tasted really good.
Scallop and Crabmeat Spaghetti Aglio Alio. Just look at those succulent scallops!
Black Chocolate Honey Toast was good, except that we were very disappointed when we heard that the prettier and more famous Hazelnut Chocolate Honey Toast was sold out by early evening.

Joo Bar is not your typical bar because it serves food. And yes, Korean food even! Note that it's quite hard to get a table so make your reservations early.
Yucha Sojurita made even cooler with a bottle of overturned Hite beer. I'm not an alcohol person but think I can finish this on my own!
Side dishes
The sweet and spicy soy glaze perfected these Joo Wings!
Yummy fusion of Kimchi Mac & Cheese.
Can't imagine how a "bar" can serve such good Army Stew. I also like how it comes in a smaller-than-usual portion so that we can order more items.
Yums, I will be back!

Gwangjang Market (Jongno 5-ga Station) - website
Reached this popular traditional market quite early because every minute on the last day is precious. It wasn't a clever decision though because the market was still quite quiet as the ahjummas were still preparing for opening.
But thank god for this little stall located right in front of the entrance.
This omelette-stuffed French toast may look simple but it tasted so awesome on a cold morning.
First time trying Bindaetteok, which is a type of Korean pancake made from mainly ground mung beans.
The pancakes were hot and crispy but I got tired of the taste after a few bites.
Didn't really explore the market section because I didn't like the smell...But yea, the market is huge.
Chungmuro Pet Street (Chungmuro Station)
Got to know of this pet street while on the airport bus. This pet street is so awesome - so many cute puppies and kittens by the windows.
I wanna bring this Yorkshire Terrier home!
This Maltese looked so sad :( I hope the owner is good.
Myeongdong Shopping Street (Myeongdong Station)
Went back to Myeongdong for some last minute shopping and street food. Forever so crowded.
Pretty rose ice-cream from Milky Bee. Had such a long wait for this.
A mini bowl of jajangmyeon for sharing. Not bad!
Fluffy rainbow candy floss that I didn't buy because it's huge.
Long ice-cream. Yes, I had 2 kinds of ice-cream within an hour.
Last meal in Seoul was ramyun and seafood pancake at a Korean traditional restaurant. Back to basics!

Wiki Cafe (Anguk Station) - website
Finally here early in the morning after a failed attempt last night as it was already closed for the day. Love the blue exterior!
Fan presents for SJ Sungmin on display.
Coffee, ice-cream waffle and honey bread prepared by Sungmin's mother!
BAU House Dog Cafe (Hapjeong Station) - website
The famous dog cafe!
My favourite dog has got to be this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Cho Won. She's forever sleeping though...
Went there in the early afternoon but so many dogs were already having naps.
Sleeping posture ftw.

I think dogs just like to squeeze into the tightest space possible.
These Samoyed dogs were very tame but big dogs are really not my thing.
Came across photos of this cafe on Instagram, and went to check out the real thing because I was so fascinated by it's red giant door. But the blue van is such an eyesore.
Shopping street looking good.
Didn't expect to see a row of cherry blossom trees while shopping.
Thanks Nature Cafe (Hongik University Station) - website
Wanted to visit this sheep cafe during my first trip but couldn't locate it. It is really quite hard to find and I doubt I can make it here again lol.
They don't look as cute now because their wool was just sheared. Bring back the fluffy sheep!
Dozing off, I guess.
It's a pity the sheep were not let out during our short time there.

Carp bread with custard ice-cream. This is apparently very popular even though we bought it only because I was feeling hungry while walking along the food street in Hongdae.
Godabang Cat Cafe (Hongik University Station)
Didn't purposely plan to go these 3 animal-themed cafes in one day. It just happened because all were located in hipster Hongdae.
Only realised there's a drawing on my iced caramel latte. Is that a cat?
The lady on the left is teaching everyone how to play with the cats.
Cats all over.
They can even sleep in a small box.
마당깊은집 (Hongik University Station)
Dinner at this random crowded restaurant in Hongdae. By the way, the servers were all super good looking!
Jjambbong soup.
Chicken drumlets with fries and cheese. Daebak!
Hello Kitty Cafe (Hongik University Station) - website
Only reached when the cafe is already closed. Luckily the staffs were still around and allowed us to tour inside for a while.
