Kimpira is a place I’ve been meaning to blog about for a long time now. When I first came across it in Hongdae a few years back, it was Korean comfort food heaven. The name “Kimpira” is a combination of the words kimbab, pizza and ramen; the essence of their menu. Then a few years … Continue reading
I’ve received quite a few messages asking me what it’s like dating a Korean guy and what dating is like in Korea. There are a lot of stereotypes surrounding the “Korean Boyfriend.” If you look it up on YouTube you’ll seriously find a million results on the subject. To put it simply, it all comes … Continue reading
I constantly prowl Instagram in search of new places to check out, particularly cafes with cute desserts and drinks. Recently I came across a photo of a Cookie Monster inspired latte and I knew I had to have it! So off I went to Mangwon-dong to get my daily dose of cute. Viva Salon is … Continue reading
Asia is quite famous for its unique cafes, particularly when it comes to the animal variety. I love animals, so I never miss an opportunity to mingle with them up close and personal. I’ve been to several dog, cat and raccoon cafes in Korea. I’ve even been to an owl cafe in Japan! I thought I … Continue reading

Although it has become insanely popular among locals and tourists, It’s been a while since I’ve dressed up in a traditional hanbok and strolled around Gyeongbokgung and its surrounding area. Right now it’s a very popular date idea, so when Oneday Hanbok invited me to check out their new shop I decided to turn it … Continue reading
I first came across Oneday Hanbok back in 2015, when it was a tiny little shop inside 을지로4가역 (Euljiro 4 Ga Station). They had a modest selection, but the service was excellent and price was right. It was such a great experience I went straight to my blog to tell everyone about my great find! Flash … Continue reading
An eclair isn’t a dessert I frequently crave or even think about for that matter. I guess it takes the right kind of place to make you want something you’ve never wanted before. In. D. Alley is that kind of place for me. When In. D. Alley first opened its doors their primary focus was … Continue reading
For a while now I’ve been wanting to celebrate my pup’s birthday with a proper doggie cake for his birthday. Last year we were able to find a salmon muffin at a pet store in the Express Bus Terminal (고속터미널). He enjoyed it quite a bit and it lasted him about a week. While it was a … Continue reading
