A Hidden Gem in Mapo: Menya Seven Mapo
✔️Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 8:30 PM
Oh, I stumbled upon this place by chance and it was delicious!! The food came out quickly and the portions were generous, haha. I usually don't like thick noodles, but the thickness of the noodles in their Mazesoba was just right, and I enjoyed it very much. The initial spiciness is as described, similar to Shin Ramyun! The sauce was rich, giving it a savory taste rather than a vinegary one, making it very tasty. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great, and the seating was spacious, so I had a wonderful time :)

A Han River view cafe with a great vibe🩵.
Located in Nanji Hangang Park, Wave Hangang is a floating cafe where you can enjoy a direct view of the Han River and beautiful sunsets🩵.
Not many people know about it yet, so it's not crowded.
Wave Hangang is a great emotional cafe to relax with a cool drink and a fantastic view👍.

Dare to Explore: Mugwort Café
#cherryblossom2024
Mugwort desserts have a distinct herbal flavor that might not be for everyone, but they often have a pleasant earthy taste with hints of bitterness. Some enjoy them for their unique flavor, while others find it an acquired taste. Overall, its interesting to always try something new 😋 would recommend the mugwort latte 💯

[Hongdae] Enjoy Yakiniku by yourself! The best aged meat🇰🇷Jeongdongok
🇰🇷Visited June 23rd🇰🇷
A restaurant in Hongdae where you can eat aged meat🥩
[청돈옥 Jeongdongok]🙂🤍
Here you can taste the finest aged meat, made from clean Korean female pigs, dry-aged using the restaurant's own method🤤🤍
Their signature dishes are samgyeopsal and moksal!! 🐷🤍
And here's the great thing about this restaurant!!
Samgyeopsal must be ordered for 2 people or more, but moksal can be ordered for 1 person or more🥹🙌
Great news for solo travelers!! 🥹✨
This is a rare restaurant where you can eat yakiniku by yourself☺️🤍
What I ordered was✏️
✔️1 portion of moksal (200g) 18,000w
✔️Chonggukjang 7,000w
✔️Bibimbap 4,000w
🙂
First of all, the beautiful meat that was brought to us🥩🥹✨
It was thick and so beautiful!!
The staff grilled it all until the end☺️
The moksal was crispy on the outside!!
It was refreshing to eat and the flavor of the meat was packed in and it was so delicious🥲✨
This made me want to eat samgyeopsal next time!!
When I asked for a side dish recommendation👂
I ordered chonggukjang as well🙂
...and it was also really delicious!! ! ! 🥹✨
The chonggukjang was filled with meat inside! !
It's more fragrant than smelly, and the cheonggukjang is very easy to eat🥹🤍
The bibimbap with beautiful vegetables comes with sesame oil, so when you pour sesame oil and cheonggukjang on top and bibim... it's already a blissful taste🥹🤍🤍🤍
It's so delicious that it might be worth going just to eat it!! !
Must order it with meat☺️🤍
I'm happy to have found a great restaurant where I can eat yakiniku alone for the first time in a while🥰
Next time I want to eat samgyeopsal, so I'll go with Ching🙂🤍

Food in Hongdae
I found a place that makes Cuban sandwiches. I was happy to find a place that makes the sandwiches in Korea. It is located near exit 7 from Hongdae station.
Afterwards, I headed to Sulbing near exit 9. It was packed and filled with people. It was a Sunday evening so I would not expect anything different. The dessert was great. It hit the spot.
Situated on the outskirt of Hongdae is Cafe de Rabbit. It is located near exit 3. They have rabbit shaped snacks, alcohol, coffee and fresca. It is four floors. They have a outdoor terrance to enjoy while relaxing. It is far enough that you are not in the middle of the nightlife. But close enough to still go to a club or hop back into the scene.

NatureLab Museum ✨
#seoul
One of my favourite attractions included in the Discovery Seoul Pass is the NatureLab museum in Hongdae.
The exhibit we visited was, Pieces of Time: Season,.
It showcases Korea's unique seasonal beauty through stunning and immersive flower art and digital media displays.
With eleven interactive halls to explore, visitors can experience breathtaking projections that transport them into a world of butterflies and flowers to illuminated sparkles and mirrors.
Additionally, the museum offers a refreshing escape from the crowds that often accompany other famous projection exhibitions around the world.
“Udon Iyoiyo”, an udon restaurant you must visit at least once in your life
If you eat it at a place where you dip the flat noodles in udon sauce,
the chewy texture of the noodles and the flavor of the sauce go so well together, it's great..
I even ate mentaiko butter udon,
a flavor unlike any I've ever had..
It's a flavor you really have to go and try at least once in your life.
Personally, out of the two, you should definitely try the flat udon.

Hongdae Strawberry Cake Restaurant 'Peony'
This is the famous strawberry cake restaurant 'Peony' in Hongdae ٩꒰｡•◡•｡꒱۶
I always visit this place because their strawberry cake is delicious
I ordered strawberry cake slices and drinks this time too!
The strawberry cake slices were so refreshing and delicious with lots of strawberries and cream inside ٩꒰｡•◡•｡꒱۶
I think the soft milk cream goes well with the strawberries
For drinks, I ordered strawberry juice, cream latte, and caramel macchiato. The caramel macchiato was sweet and delicious. They drew a rabbit on the foam with caramel sauce. ㅎㅎIt was cute
They made fresh strawberries, so the strawberry flavor was strong and good!
Cream Latte was delicious because it had a lot of sweet and chewy cream on top of the cafe latte ღ'ᴗ'ღ
When you're craving delicious strawberry cake in Hongdae, look for Peony!

Hongdae Christmas Tree Cafe ‘Samdakoji’
⏰ 11:00~23:00
📍 1st floor, 34, Dokmak-ro 9-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
Samdakoji is a large Christmas tree cafe located in Hongdae. They say the Christmas tree was installed from early November. It’s pretty during the day, but it’s even prettier at night.
The interior of the cafe is spacious, and there are many trees here and there, so it’s a good place to feel the Christmas atmosphere. I recommend it to those who are looking for a tree cafe in Hongdae, Yeonam-dong, Hapjeong, or Mangwon.

Sky Park m: Autumn Eulalia Field

Sky Park is the perfect spot to experience autumn without leaving the city. After parking in the public lot, you can take the shuttle (3,000 KRW round trip per person) up to the park. The sight of eulalia grass swaying beneath the clear blue sky is absolutely stunning!
It’s a peaceful place for a leisurely walk along the trails, fully immersed in the autumn atmosphere—a truly refreshing spot to recharge.

ium1966, a new vintage-style Hanok cafe in the heart of Seoul.

Cafe Tung, a vintage cafe with an attractive signature.
I heard that this cafe is famous in Taean, so I had high expectations. The signature Tung Coffee is really delicious. Usually, cream-based on nuts has a unique greasiness, but this one is full of savory flavor without any greasiness. It leaves a clean finish in the mouth, and the layers of milk and espresso that follow blend well together. I've been tired of overly sweet signature coffees from various cafes lately, but I finally found a coffee that suits my taste. If you like something not too sweet and savory, I highly recommend it. 😆
