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!
