Anyeong Noona

Since we visited the cafe quite late at night, there was no queue line spotted and we managed to enter the restaurant immediately. Pretty amazed by the design of the cafe. 

The cashier and the kitchen looks quite similar to the Hello Kitty Cafe in Taipei. Basically, you feel like you enter kitchen belonged to Hello Kitty herself. 

After you made your order at the cashier, you will receive a buzzer. It will buzz when your order is ready for collection. You just need to wait patiently at your Hello Kitty table while taking a hundred over photos of your cute surrounding.

None of us dared to order a cup of coffee late at night because we were scared of being owls after that. So we ordered hot chocolate instead. Thankfully, they come with Hello Kitty art on it. Let's call it hot chocolate art. LOL.

We are seriously glutton. Instead of sharing, we order one waffle for each of us. Hahaha. Noona feels gaining weight in South Korea is inevitable because the country is simply filled with yummy food. The waffle on the left has mangoes and vanilla ice cream while the waffle on the right side has cinnamon and caramel and a dollop of whip cream at the side. Noona prefer the fruit waffles but both taste quite tasty as they are served warm. Fluffy warm waffles kind of feeling. 

Whenever you visit Hello Kitty Cafe in any country, don't forget to pop by the washroom as their toilet is simply too cute to miss. 

Do visit them for a dose of cuteness when you are in Hongdae area. =)

Abiko Curry turns out to be a popular Japanese curry franchise in Seoul, specialising in spicy Japanese curry. The restaurant has a nice interior. It is even decorated with a faux cherry blossom trees to make it feel that you are enjoying the meal under cherry blossom in Japan.

On top of that, Abiko Curry is also decorated with a lot of popular anime figurine like Doraemon and Pikachu. Mangas (re: Japanese comic books) are also available here for reading.

Abiko Curry is famous for its Japanese curry. It offers three kind of dishes such as 카레라이스 (curry over rice), 하이라이스 (hayashi rice, hashed beef and rice), and 카레우동 (udon in curry). After that, you need to choose the level of spiciness and indicate if you want to add toppings. We ordered chicken karage (re: Japanese fried chicken) as a side dish. 

Here comes my plate of Japanese curry. Oh my goodness, the size of this Japanese curry is huge. I chose the pork cutlet + hayashi curry rice (re: Japanese beef stew curry). The fried garlic bits are free toppings. They taste nice when eaten together with the curry and rice. The curry flavor was yummy. The katsu is crunchy and thankfully, the pork is tender enough to eat (Noona has bad experience with pork katsu last time at other Japanese curry place). 

If you are not a spicy food lover, you should stick to Level 1 or choose the non-spicy curry. Noona chose level 2 and she thought it was spicy enough. A higher level of spiciness will surely make her cry. Hahaha.
