A new cafe at North Canal Road from the folks behind The Plain and Ronin. I have been to The Plain many times, but not Ronin. Punch has a beautiful space, with a courtyard and a green wall, which is
Seoul: Gwangjang Market
So glad to be typing away in this blog again. Something went wrong at the back-end of my blog on Christmas Eve and it has taken me over a month to get it up and running again, including moving the website
Seoul: Namusairo Coffee in Gwanghwamun
If you are in the Gwanghwamun/Gyeongbokgung neighborhood and looking for excellent coffee in a charming hanok-setting, Namusairo Coffee is the place to head to. I love the vibe of this space, and the wood-panels are gorgeous. I was so charmed
Seoul: Chawoongga In Hongdae
I had lunch in Chawoongga, a restaurant housed in this beautiful hanok with a courtyard garden in hippy Hongdae. The restaurant serves traditional Korean food such as bibimbap, soups and stews. Initially, I wanted to brave the cold and eat my meal in the beautiful
Seoul: Yukdaejang In Myeongdong
I am so pleased to have found an excellent yukgaejang restaurant in Myeongdong (near the main road where Shinsaegae is). I love eating Korean spicy beef soup, especially the wild vegetables that go into the soup. I have not tried a
Seoul: Coffee Libre In Hongdae
I have finally tried the coffee from Coffee Libre after putting it off for a while (‘cos it is quite a hike away from the popular area in Hongdae). It is not an easy place to find and I got lost
Galettes & Crepes At The Daily Roundup

Seoul: Wangbijib Korean BBQ In Myeongdong
I often get asked for Korean BBQ restaurant recommendations in Seoul but have none to give because this is something that I don’t normally eat when I am in Seoul. If I have grilled meat cravings, I would usually go
Floral Buttercream Cupcakes From Cupplets
Cupcakes with floral buttercream icing that are too pretty to eat. The 3D flowers are so intricate and beautifully composed, showing so much detail. A work of art indeed. My photo does not do it any justice!
Seoul: Ricotta Cheese Salad At Cafe Mamas
On my way to Samcheong-dong to hunt for clothes (work dresses, casual tops, kimono cardigans, shoes, costume jewelry) one morning, I walked past Cafe Mamas, a popular cafe near the Cheongyecheon stream. I have gone past this cafe many times
Koko Coconut Ice Cream At Amoy Food Centre
Coconut ice cream is my new favorite ice cream. This one, by Koko Coconut Ice Cream located on the second floor of Amoy Food Centre, is very good. I like the texture of the ice cream. It is smooth and
Dstllry At 21 Media Circle
I have been to Dstllry thrice in the last couple of months, and have been meaning to blog about the place for a while. The name is kind of weird, like where are the vowels? Photos of Dstllry have been
Seoul: Themed Cafe Needle Story – A Knitting Cafe In Edae
Note: NeedleStory does not seem to be at Edae. I couldn’t see the store at this address when I last visited in 2017. Sadly, I have been neglecting my blog of late. After taking a short break in Seoul at
