yinnytheyin: Korea, Seoul (2nd Day)

Woke up the next day feeling hungry. The best part about staying in Myeong-Dong is that everything that you need is right at your finger tips and within reach. Most of the well known restaurants are located in Myeong-Dong, cheap facial and make up products are here and the food night market is here as well.

So, what's for breakfast?

Migabon Korean Porridge. The only porridge I would recommend trying is the abalone porridge. It is really good. I saw recommendations online for pumpkin porridge, that was why I ordered it. Big mistake :(

Abalone Porridge

Pumpkin Porridge

(if you prefer your porridge to be savoury, don't bother trying this)

Address : 2F 2-23, Myeongdong 2ga, Jung-gu

(Easy to find. It's on top of a famous beef broth soup restaurant - a tv drama was shot here. Or you can look for a restaurant with a very long line waiting outside)

In the afternoon, we went to play at Trick Eye Museum at Hong Dae. Pretty easy place to find. A lot of weird dimensional pictures to take in here

Lol, I like this one

Address: 20, Hongik-ro 3-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Trick Eye Museum is a bit tricky to get here. After leaving Hongik University Station, take exit 9. Walk straight to the cross junction, cross it and turn left. Walk one block, and you'll see a road between Holika Holika and Tony Moly. Turn right into the road. Trick Eye Museum is further in.

After playing around at Trick Eye, we wanted to visit all the restaurants visited by the cast of Running Man (They did a episode here where they visited the 'famous' restaurants or cafe in Hong Dae). But we couldn't, cause we were too full.. So we shop around at little shops littered around Hong Dae (cheap clothes for sale, catered for teens and young adults)

What else to visit (eat) around Hong Dae?

1. Hello Kitty cafe

(here just for the environment, food/drinks nothing to shout about)

Address: 94-3, Eoulmadang-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Easy to find
