Day 5 saw us at combing Hongdae(홍대) & Edae(이대).
We started our day by having lunch at Abiko Curry(아비꼬). The branch I went last August was the 1st branch at Hongdae. We were given directions to the 2nd branch because the 1st branch was full.
There is always time for some photo-taking before food is served!!
This branch is a lot bigger than the 1st branch! According to Rach, Onew from SHINee frequents Abiko; just not sure which branch lol. Anyhoo, I tried medium spice this time after trying to the normal level the last time I visited. It was alright, but probably not suitable for people who can't take spice! We each ordered an extra potato croquette because we just had to satisfy our craving for croquette after the lost battle (of not tasting the croquettes at hapjeong) the previous night.
We walked around the area before heading to Lomography Cafe (Seoul).
We were greeted by these two extremely fat cats (sorry, kitties but you two are really very fat) outside the cafe!!! They were not that friendly though. ;( We spent quite awhile inside, buying stuff for my little sister.
I would love to provide the address to this cafe but it closed down recently..... ㅠㅅㅠ
Oh, and I also bought this BEYOND ADORABLE sheep gloves at the Hongdae Free Market (omg, is it Free Market or Flea Market??!? Lol). It was the last piece, so I got it at 15,000won from the ahjumma. Probably a bit pricey compared to the other gloves I can get there, but it is too fluffy and cute that I couldn't care less, hehe. And it serves its purpose well. Kept my hands warm and comfy ^^;;
While walking back to the subway station, we saw the famous cotton candy stall in Hongdae! The malamute looks really old to me, and was lying there motionless the entire time I was looking at it. We didn't buy cotton candy either. Everyone was kinda just focused on the dog.
Soooo..... We made our way to Edae afterwards!
Met a pair of rude couple when Jac and I were queuing for kebap at this roadside stall. What makes them think that they can bully foreigners who can't speak Korean well? TSK.
My sister and I were determined to find this random cafe we visited last August in Edae. They don't serve fantastic drinks but the ambience is good. And yup, we found it.
Cafe 체칠Su (chae-chil-soo) is a little cafe tucked in one of the small alleys of Edae. The soft lights and comfy chairs, soothing music and the little number of customers make it a good spot to hide from the hustle and bustle of the city. I love this place, and I would definitely visit it again.
After chilling at the cafe and shopping around, we settled at this restaurant for dindinz.
Everyone knows I am not a fan of bean sprouts lol. Stef picked out all the meat for me♡ Thank you ^3^
This was how it looked like after being cooked!
Ending this post with my sheep gloves hehehe
