After the Nanta show, I went back to Hongdae for my dinner at 고집. I mentioned about having dinner at 일미식당. 고집 is next to 일미식당. Check out the link here for directions http://happydalki.blogspot.sg/2014/11/3-sep-2014-for-dinner.html

 |
| Menu in Korean. I ordered 돼지 연탄구이 백반 (6500won). |
 |
| Very satisfying meal ^^ I want to come back again to try other dishes. |
 |
Classes resumed today after a good holiday break. I walked to my school and will pass by this cafe near my apartment everyday, Monday to Friday. Had been eyeing at their honeycake since the first day I saw this cafe and finally got my chance today ^^
|
 |
| I assumed that's the boss at the bar counter. Very attentive guy. A customer was feeling unwell and almost lost her balance at the entrance. He went up to her immdiately and make sure she is ok enough to leave the cafe. |
 |
| My much anticipated honeycake ^^ The boss took the initiative to tell me the wifi password as he served my food. It may mean nothing to you but to me, it says a lot of a person. In this case, I think the boss is quite sensitive to his customers' needs. |
 |
| The honeycake was a great disappointment... It did not taste aweful but its not what I have expected. The texture tasted like rice cake, unlike normal cakes. This was my first time to eat a honeycake. Does it usually taste different from normal cakes? Do enlighten me. |
 |
| The cheapest so far to eat in a cafe cos I took the set. Though I was disappointed with my honeycake but I like the ambiance of the cafe. Ok, its time for me to go back to the school becos we get to watch a free Nanta show in the afternoon. |
 |
| Free transport provided to fetch us from the school to the theater at Chungjeongno. |
 |
| My classmates and I managed to get seats close to each other ^^ |
 |
Now I know why I have not watch a Nanta show before lol cos the cheapskate me has been waiting for a free ticket! The show was very entertaining but some of my classmates felt the duration was a bit too long. Can't remember how long it was but yeah a little too long for me too. Nevertheless, as an audience I can feel the great effort and hardwork put in by the performers to bring laughter to their audiences. Great job!

 |
| 닭강정 Dakgangjeong ^^ |
 |
| My eyes was glued to this as we walked around the foodcourt to decide what to eat. |
 |
| Yes! 닭강정 Dakgangjueong it shall be ^^ |
 |
란 suggested 짬뽕 jjamppong as well.
Both of us agreed that the 닭강정 Dakgangjueong was really good.
란 find that the 짬뽕 jjamppong had a fishy taste.
|
 |
| Although 란 had to rush back to work, she insisted that we should have tea or something to drink before we bid good bye....I felt bad to take up her time but really touched at the same time. I chose to have my drink from here becos it looks yummy. |
 |
| Strawberry yogurt drink for me and mango yogurt drink for 란. Thank you so much for the lovely evening, my dear friend. |
 |
Found my way to this cheesecake cafe in Hongdae after the day trip to Hyoseok Cultural Festival. I wanted to come here for so long and finally I did!
|
 |
| I actually did some research before I came becos the menu looks so intimidating... How much can you understand from this menu...... I asked the waiter for recommendation and he suggested Moelleux Chaud Au Fromage(6800won). Yes. That's what many bloggers recommended as well. I think the Orea and Blueberry cheescakes should be nice as well. |
 |
| I ordered Versailles Rose Tea(6500won). What is that??? 모르겠어 but I like the idea of a cup of hot rose tea to go with my cheesecake ^^ |
 |
| *DROOL* |
 |
| I'm sold!!! This is SOooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD!!! All cheesecakes lovers should come here if you are in Hongdae!! |
 |
| Still cannot forget the taste till now... |
 |
| I came to the cafe from Hongik Univ Station, exit 6. Less than 5 mins walk. |
 |
| My homecooked dinner for the day. Fish fillet, kimchi banchan and minced pork seaweed soup. The eating places were opened but I just feel like cooking the ingredients I bought from HomePlus. |
 |
I took the bridge to cross the river for my returned trip ㅎㅎㅎ It was not difficult to cross the river using the wooden planks but I wanted to take a picture of the scene from the bridge ㅋㅋㅋ

That was the Information Counter(as shown by the arrow) near the junction as mentioned in my earlier post. There was another Information counter(on the left) but there was nobody inside. I approached the staff at the Information Counter for the location of the bus stop to go back to Jangpyeong Bus Terminal. From the way they described the directions, it sounded complicated. They told me the next bus will only arrive at 1.35pm when it was only 12.44pm then. Oh noooo...no way. I decided to check out the stalls before taking the cab back to the bus terminal. They offered to call the cab for me after I am done. That's so nice of them!!

 |
| Something caught my attention! 곤드레! I can buy this for 곤드레비빔밥 Gondeure bibimbap if you remember I asked my teacher how to cook this dish during the cooking class . 10000 won for a big pack. I thought this was cheap. |
 |
| Nothing much to see. I went back to the Information Counter and the staff gladly made the call for me. They told me the cab could not drive in due to the festival and guided me to this Hanmaeum Mart to wait for the cab. This Hanmaeum Mart was about 2 mins walk from the Information Counter. The cab arrived shortly after I reached here. |
 |
| I got on the taxi at 1.02pm. No time printed on the bus ticket. The counter staff wrote down the time on the ticket when I asked her for the departure time. |
 |
| There is only one small waiting area to queue for buses(as shown by the arrow). You got to keep a look out for your bus. |
 |
This was the bus back to Dong Seoul Bus Terminal. If you are standing at the back of the queue, you might not be able to see the destination that is stated on the windscreen of the buses. I am not asking you to cut queue but stay alert. This bus arrived at 1.25pm and drove off at 1.32pm. It stopped at Yeoju Service Area 여주휴게소 at 3.02pm for toilet break and drove off at 3.20pm. We reached Dong Seoul Bus Terminal at 4.32pm.
|
 |
| Its time for lunch. There were quite a number of restaurants and I think they were selling almost the same food. |
 |
| Menu in Korean. |
 |
| Outdoor dinning ^^ |
 |
| I ordered 비빔막국수 (7000won). |
 |
| Healthy food but not as tasty as it appeared. Nevertheless, the staff here were very nice and thoughtful people. 감사합니다 ^^ |
