Today is a sunny day! Thank god the weather is getting warmer now, so i can walk around without wearing a cardigan. I went to the famous ootd photoshoot location called Common Ground nearby Konkuk University. It is a really special place wear blue containers were stacked on top of each other and cafes are built inside of the containers. It looked so cool!
Because of the unique concept, a lot of tourist visit the place and it is a nice spot to take photos. The weather was sunny today and the sun is shining bright! My photos looked pretty!
After taking photos and exploring around, I went to a nearby restaurant for some bibimbap! The restaurant's signature dishes are bibimbap and shabu but unfortunately the shabu needs to be ordered minimum 2 pax. Hence, I've ordered one 돌솟비빔밥 and 전주비빔밥, the first one comes in a hot stone pot while the latter is served in a silver bowl. Both tasted almost the same just that the latter is slightly getting colder after a few minutes. The meal costed 13,500won.
The good thing about the shop is that the lady taking order speaks Mandarin! So anybody who can't communicate in Korean at all shouldn't have any problem ordering food.
After eating, I proceed to Shinsa, a location at Gangnam. There are a lot of plastic surgery hospitals and branded shops in the area. It is normal to see people wearing mask and a hat walking around because they just had their surgery done. Nope, not scary at all.
I went to Remicone, an ice cream shop where the Song triplets went to with Song Ilkook in one of their episode of Superman Returns. The shop was so cute and it looked like a pop up store at the corner. The concept of the shop is adorable! Not to mention how delicious the ice creams were! I tried their hot selling ice cream called Thunder Bomb and a chocolate ice cream called Chocokcok 초콕콕. The chocolate ice cream tasted better than the Thunder Bomb in my opinion but the Thunder Bomb looked way prettier! It was decorate with a fluff of grey cotton candy and a small thunder shaped candy. How cute is that?
On the other hand, the Chocokcok was really chocolate-ty! There were some crushed cornflakes and chocolate rice I guess. It is really worth a try! Both coated around 6,100-6,800won. A bit pricey but it tasted really good in my opinion. Maybe that's why Daehan Minguk Manse enjoyed their ice cream so much! And even asked for a big spoonful of ice cream.
On instagram I've always seen people visiting this cafe and took really nice photos of the LED light.I wondered where the location would be inside of the cafe called Mr Holmes Bakehouse. To my surprise, it wasn't located in the cafe but outside of the cafe at the ground floor while the cafe located on the first floor. It is so nice of them to provide such beautiful backdrop for visitors to take photos. That's why it become a hit photo zone!
Oh and LINE FRIENDS cafe was there too! Finally took pictures with Browny and Sally! The branch at Myeongdong was full with people lining up to take picture but this one in Gangnam is not that crowded. And there is Sally!
There are 2 ways of entering the shop. One, you walk in from the left side, straight into the shop. Two, you line up on the right side, take a photo with Browny with ten pairs of eyes staring at you, then proceed into the shop.
After exploring and walking around Shinsa, I decided to go to 'Parking in plate' at Myeongdong but sadly it was closed down. It is one of the restaurant where the Song triplets went too. No 'parking in plate' led me to 'Mom's touch'. A burger and chicken restaurant chain store I guess. The burgers tasted quite nice and the fries were good too! The set menu costed around 5000-5900won per set, comes with burger, fries and an iced beverage.
Oh! Before eating the burger, I went around eating some street food too! One of them was the 4 favoured hot dog which costed 4000won. It is really really good! The store is located right at the entrance of Myeongdong where the big innisfree is located. Anybody who visits Myeongdong, please try it!
Other than the hot dog, I've also tried the red bean 뿡어빵! It was a bit oily tho. It costed 3000won per piece. There are 3 flavors, cheese, red bean and sweet potato.
Dinner was so full today. But visiting common ground made my day! Getting to taste great ice cream recommended by Daehan Minguk Manse was nice too. Walking around Myeongdong is the real torture as my feet hurts a lot from all the walking and the clothes were tempting but pricey. Going back to Ewha tomorrow and getting more clothes! Hongdae and Ewha are the best place for shopping no kidding.
Back to the Guesthouse earlier today around 9pm, wanted to get more rest for my sore feet. Couldn't clean myself until 11am because there are people who used the bathroom for more than an hour.
Didn't have freezer in my room so I had to eat up an ice cream and a pint of frozen yogurt in the middle of the night before it melts. I am freezing...
I am now ending this blog post at 1:42am.
*feel free to share the photos but please CREDIT, thank you :)*
