Cat's Attic Gangnam Seoul South Korea

Cat's Attic Gangnam Seoul South Korea
Cat Cafe

This week I took a lunchtime trip to a local cat cafe called Cat's Attic.

I was pleasantly surprised at the great staff who spoke great English and were very friendly and helpful! The cats were also excited to see the customers and were not afraid to climb on people and explore your bag. A lot different from other cat cafe's I have seen where the cats are all sleeping. Here there were 20 or so active cats looking for attention or sometimes fighting with each other. ^^
The cost was 8,000 won with a complimentary drink. I managed to take some photo's of the cats and a video of some of their antics.

So if you are in the area it is very easy to find from Gangnam Station. Take either exit 9 or 10 and then look at the map below. ^^ Straight out of exit 9 turn immediately right and you will see some stairs leading to a street. Walk half way down the street until you see a 7/11 and look up. From exit 10 take the alley immediately to your left walk through and look up for the cat cafe sign.



























Well that's all for this week. I hope you are having a great time and I will see you again next week!
Until then have a great weekend!! ^^

Novotel Hotel Cherry Dessert Buffet Gangnam Seoul South Korea

Novotel Hotal Cherry Dessert Buffet Gangnam Seoul South Korea.

This week we went on a delicious trip to the Novotel Hotel in Gangnam for a dessert lunch.

Held on the ground floor of the Novotel at 2pm and in the evening (at 7pm? but I am not sure) for 35,000 won per person you can enjoy a vast array of well presented desserts with cherries.^^

You can also choose a beverage to go with your desserts; Cherry Coke, Black Current juice and another option I cannot remember? Maybe tea?

Anyway there is also some cold tea on tap that you can help yourself to to wash down all that sugar.

Lets have a look at a few pictures from the day:



















Well that was a delicious weekend out. ^^ I hope you are having a good week and I will see you next time with  something different.  ^^

Last weekend was another cold and windy day so it was best just to stay indoors.

A visit to Hobby Tomo was on the cards.

Hobby Tomo is a small cafe that offers coffee, snacks, sandwiches and a delicious pizza. You can look and buy many of the characters that are scattered all over the shop. There are also books and comics to read as well as a laptop to use to check on the latest news or your facebook page. ^^

the pizza was really delicious and was 14,000 won or with a drinks combo (2 drinks) 18,000. All other sandwiches and beverages were around 5,000 won or less.

Monster Cupcakes and Cream Board Cafe

Monster Cupcakes Itaewon
Cream Board Cafe Apgujung

Recently I have managed to visit a couple of unique cafes around Seoul. The first one I would like to tell you about is Monster Cupcakes. Located in Itaewon this is a little cafe that specializes in scary cupcakes, beverages and stocks the famous Monster energy drink. Cupcakes range from around 4,000 - 5,000 won and are very interesting in their designs. You can dine in (limited seating) or of course take away.
Either take a long walk from Itaewon station or a shorter walk from Noksapyeong station. Turn right up the street where you see the army base on the corner. It might be about 50 meters up the street on the left side.

















Another unique kind of cafe you can find in Korea is a board cafe. Here you can meet with your friends and play board or card games. There is also a place to buy drinks and snacks. I guess this is just another way to get out of your apartment, meet up with friends and have a good time together. Anyway here are some pictures of the place so you can understand what I am talking about:













Well thats all for this week again. Its still chilly here in Korea so be sure to keep warm! Be sure to check back next week for something else from here in South Korea! Until then have a fantastic week! ^^

Res & Cafe Lami Seoul South Korea

Res & Cafe Lami Seoul South Korea

This weeks blog entry is about a restaurant that I enjoyed while I was living in the Gyeonggido province east of Seoul.

Restaurant and Cafe Lami is situated right alongside the Han river and has 2 levels in which to sit and enjoy the scenery and sunset at night.

I always enjoyed the pasta here and the peaceful atmosphere. The price range is a mid level with dishes in the mid teens e.g. 14,000 to 20,000 won for a dinner main. A great place to visit during the wintery months we are now enjoying. ^^

Here are some pictures and a slideshow showing you more of the restaurant and scenery that can be enjoyed.





















Next week I should be bringing you a winter walk through of Myeong Dong and perhaps a little something more...??

Until then keep warm and have a great week! ^^
