Korea #008 - 팔가막창 (Palja Makchang)

Often I travel to Korea alone because of business trip and I do not have the chance to get to visit Haha's shop. Finally, I got the chance last month when I met up with my Korean ex-colleague. Thanks to her, we managed to find the shop. It was quite a walk away from Hongdae subway station.

The waiters no longer wear the Running Man tee! So sad :(

Since this shop specializes in intestine, we order an original pork intestine and a marinated spicy intestine

We also ordered the lunchbox. It's very simple dish. Rice with ikan bilis, fried egg, sausages, yellow radish and kimchi

P.S. Be careful when you are there as the floor is quite slippery

Korea #004 - Handel & Gretel [CLOSED]

This cafe is very well-known by Super Junior fans. Yes, this cafe is opened by the parents of Yesung.

You can easily find this small cafe as it is just on the opposite side of the road of KBS building.

KBS Building

It's really a small and cosy cafe

I went in the morning so no one was there except a cute and young waiter...

I only ordered a Green Tea Latte since I am rushing to my office for a meeting.
Green Tea Latte was just average.

Note that the cafe is not on the side facing the park. It's at the back, near to the carpark entrance of KBS building.

Korea #002: Se7en's Yeolbong Restaurant

If you are a k-pop follow, the name "Yeolbong" shouldn't be unfamiliar to you. Opened by celebrity, se7en, this restaurant currently has a few branches in Korea and been proven a popular spot for other celebrities to dine in.

Last year I went to the one in Garosu-gil and the jjimdak (which means stewed chicken) was so fantastic that I visited the outlet in Ehwa this year!

Alight at Edae station and exit towards Ehwa Women University. Walk straight down the road. At the intersection in front of Ehwa Women University, turn to the left and continue to walk straight down. You will pass by Etude House and New Balance. It is directly behind New Balance.

 This is what you will see (behind New Balance shop!)

Walk up the stairs and mid-way you will see se7en poster!

 You can find lots of celebrities (like Big Bang, 2NE1, Kim Hyun Joong, SHINee's Onew, Miss A's Suzy, etc) photos here too!

Warning: The portions are quite big!
