The interior is white with large windows, so it lets in lots of sunlight and has a great atmosphere✨
It seems to be a cafe that was remodeled from a house, and there are seats in the spaces separated by walls? partitions?, so the interior is spacious!
And there are paintings on the walls, so it's a cafe that you can enjoy with your eyes🖼️
You can actually buy the paintings!
I ordered the signature drink of this cafe, Terlatte! It was 6000 won✨
It was like an Einspänner
The cream on top was sweet and delicious😚
I highly recommend it for those who like art🌼

explosive with curiosity
and the composition and the drawing are fun
time flies and there are many photo zones, so I highly recommend taking pictures
and there is also a souvenir shop

A quiet brunch on a weekend morning is here! Hidden Brown in Gangdong Station
#CafeRecommendation
I found this cafe while walking near my house. I stopped by because of the exterior that reminded me of a foreign outdoor cafe. The interior was just as clean as the exterior, but it was full of emotion.
I ordered hamong hamong and orange juice. Hamong hamong is an open sandwich with hamong, melon, and homemade basil pesto on rye bread.
It was as delicious as it looked. It was light, but the melon was sweet, so it was very harmonious. It went perfectly with the freshly squeezed orange juice.
I was satisfied with the atmosphere and the taste, so I plan to go back soon to enjoy the pancake menu and coffee.

Seoul Cheonho-dong, Deunggalbi Pungnyeon Sanghoe
📍Location: Pungnyeon Sanghoe
📍Features: A great place to eat ribs!!!!! If you go to Cheonho-dong, you must try it. The store is old, so it has a long history, and there are long lines, but the turnover is good, so you can get in quickly. They grill the ribs right away and serve them...really...so delicious...be sure to try the rice ball, and since it can be spicy, you can have the steamed egg too...you must...you must go...the skin is delicious, but I would rather eat one more rib with that money.

Sunchang Grandma's Chueotang, a great place for an indoor date in Seoul with a hot soup
#IndoorDate
Gangdong-gu Sunchang Grandmother's Chueotang is a restaurant that I happened to visit after seeing an old sign. From the moment I entered, this place filled with the smell of Chueotang is a specialty restaurant for loach dishes, selling Chueotang, boiled fish, stew, fried food, etc. It is a place where two people, a grandmother and a grandfather, have been in business for over 30 years, probably close to 40 years, and the side dishes are surprisingly neatly laid out, which is attractive.

A unique chewy Gangdong-gu raw fish restaurant, Lee Han-jin aged raw fish
Address: 247-1 Gucheonmyeon-ro, Gangdong-gu, Seoul
Closed on Sundays!!
Average price per person: 23,500~
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
It's about 2,3,4 servings for small and medium-sized people, and since we went for the second round, there were 3 of us, so we ordered small, but the amount was much larger than it looked. Usually, there's angel vegetables in the sashimi, but here, the sashimi is piled upㅎㅎ
The sashimi was thick and had a great savory flavor. We also ate spicy fish stew and ramen noodles in the middle!
Overall, the tables were spacious, and we went in without waiting as of 8 PM, and the store was also spacious~

The truth about vegetable tripe, I went to Fujimi in Cheonho-dong😎
Address: 23 Cheonho-yeot 14-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul
Average price per person: 12,000~
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
It's a small gopchang restaurant with only about 5 tables, but it's so delicious that there's a huge waiting line 😋
You have to order according to the number of people, and there's a time limit of 1 hour and 10 minutes. Because there's a time limit, even if there's a wait, it'll go away quickly. In the past, it was hard to make a reservation even if you went as soon as it opened at 4 o'clock, but now it's spacious!
When the gopchang comes out, the noodles can stick to the bottom, so you have to eat the noodles first, and you can eat the gopchang when you're almost done eating the noodles! Fujimi's main ingredient is perilla seeds, so it gets tastier the longer you boil it, and the fried rice at the end is especially delicious.

I'm introd
I'm introducing Cafe Yeoga, a dessert cafe in Gangdong-gu that I visited in the summer!
There's a reason it's famous for its desserts.
First of all, there were so many delicious-looking bakeries!
Out of all of them, the Financier caught my eye!
The pound cakes, cookies, and macarons all looked delicious.
I needed a sugar boost,
so I ordered 3 plain Financiers
to share the leftovers with my friends!
I also ordered a choco holic chocolate cake because I wanted to eat it myself!

Introducin
Introducing Cafe Yeoga in Gangdong-gu.
I visited this place last summer, and it was cute and
the dessert menus were delicious!
Since Yeoga is made of glass throughout,
natural light comes in.
The white-toned cafe in the natural lighting was pretty and clean.
I sat down in the corner and ordered a menu.

Practical living room
#June Travel Support Fund
🔮The IKEA showroom and products decorated with a refreshing and practical living room are worth a visit if you want to decorate your home
The IKEA showroom gives the impression that it is a living space that has been moved as is. Various spaces such as the living room, kitchen, and bedroom are composed of actual sizes, so you can easily imagine how the furniture and accessories will fit in your actual home. As you follow the showroom route, you may unconsciously think, "I want to live in a house like this."🌳
🍁Living products are highly practical and satisfying in terms of price. In particular, storage items, lighting, and tableware have simple yet functional designs that blend well into everyday life. Many products require assembly, but the instructions are relatively intuitive and most of the necessary tools are provided, so you can assemble them on your own without difficulty.
The downside is that the showroom is somewhat crowded on weekends when there are many people, and popular products are often sold out. Still, visiting the IKEA showroom is worth it because you can see and touch them in person. 🌸

Where streams and rivers meet
#June Travel Support Fund
🌳I went for a walk to the point where Godeokcheon and Hangang meet. I got the impression that it was a quiet space where nature and the city were in harmony.
1. Location and accessibility
You can walk or bike from Godeok Station or Gangil Station, and it is close to Gangdong apartment complexes, so it is a walking course that local residents often visit.🍁
2. Scenery and atmosphere
If you walk along the Godeokcheon waterway, the view opens up at the point where it meets the Hangang River, and the sunset is especially beautiful around sunset. The sound of water and birds create a quiet atmosphere, and there are benches and shelters here and there, so it was nice to stay leisurely.🌲
3. Walking and biking
The bike path and the trail are well separated, so it is suitable for both walking and riding. The road condition is also good, and the surrounding environment is well maintained, so it is safe to use. 🌸
4. Users and atmosphere
It is somewhat crowded with families and joggers during the daytime on weekends, but it is quiet on weekdays or in the morning. Many people were seen walking their pets. 🌲

I-Park River Mall
🔮 I recently visited the Gangdong I-Park River Mall. Overall, it was a clean and sophisticated shopping mall, attracting many family visitors.
1. Accessibility
Located within the Gangdong Godeok Biz Valley, it was easy to find, and the spacious parking lot made traveling by car convenient. 🌳
2. Store Layout
The mall featured a balanced mix of clothing, accessories, and lifestyle brands. It also housed a large supermarket and a cinema, catering to various visitor needs. 🍁
3. Food and Beverage Spaces
The food court was relatively clean with ample seating, offering a wide selection of brands. However, it tended to get crowded on weekends, with some stores requiring a wait. 🌲
4. Atmosphere and Facilities
The interior design was modern, complemented by bright lighting, creating a pleasant ambiance. The escalator and elevator layouts were well-organized, making movement within the mall convenient. 🍂

Summer flowers and birds
🌳 Many migratory birds flock to Godokcheon, including herons, egrets, and mallards. Among them, the sight of mallards breeding in Godokcheon and leading their ducklings around is incredibly adorable and heartwarming, offering a sense of healing just by watching them.
This is also evidence of a thriving river ecosystem and a testament to the wonders of nature. 🍁
It’s fascinating and magical to see a mother duck guiding her tiny ducklings as they grow. Watching these small, fragile babies gradually mature into full-grown ducks, which then return to hatch their own eggs and lead their ducklings, is truly beautiful. 🔮
Additionally, wildflowers bloom along the river, naturally decorating the area and creating a pleasant view. 🌺

I eat and go shopping.
#June travel support fund
🔮IKEA has a food court
It was convenient to be able to order at the kiosk
The good thing is that the price is cheap
I ordered kimchi fried rice at the kiosk and waited a long time
When you order, a number comes out, and you can get it when your number appears on the electronic board🌳
There is a space where you can drink water and coffee, and you can get as many drinks as you want with a low price once you pay🍁
The space to eat is also large, but on holidays, there are many people, so you have to reserve a seat in advance before ordering. 🌺
The taste was average, and I think it would be convenient to use while shopping considering the cost-effectiveness🌲

Starbucks Gangdong IKEA store
#June Travel Support Fund
☕️Starbucks Gangdong branch was impressive with its clean and spacious space.
The space between tables was spacious, and the natural light made the atmosphere calm and comfortable.
The taste of coffee never disappoints. This time, I had a decaffeinated Dolce Latte, and even though it was decaffeinated, it was strong and delicious.
🔮IKEA Gangdong branch is a place to go shopping, and I was able to see a variety of furniture and accessories.
After shopping, I had a cup of Starbucks coffee to rest my tired legs. It was a really good rest.
There were a lot of people, so it felt a little crowded, but there was still a lot to see, so I was satisfied.
🌳Both places had different charms, and it was a good experience to spend a leisurely time at Starbucks and enjoy shopping at IKEA, making a full day.

Ronnefeldt Cafe
#June Travel Support Fund
🔮Ronnefeldt Cafe was a comfortable space to relax inside the IKEA store.
The cafe atmosphere was neat and cozy, and the calm-colored interior made me feel at ease.
In particular, the variety of tea and dessert menus made it great for spending time leisurely.
The price range was a little cheaper than typical cafes, so I was able to enjoy it without feeling burdened, and it was a great place to take a break after shopping.
It was a great experience to be able to sit comfortably and enjoy a cup of tea after shopping at IKEA.🌳

IKEA Interior Showroom
#June Travel Support Fund
🔮I went to see a showroom where I could see IKEA's interior design at a glance
First, the showroom's design was very systematic and intuitive.
There were many spaces that recreated real living environments according to various room sizes and styles, and I could easily get ideas about how each space could be configured.
In particular, the idea of efficiently utilizing small spaces was useful.
The products had many simple yet sophisticated designs, and I felt that the quality was good for the price.
It was actually practical to use at home, and there were many parts that could be assembled in a DIY way, so I was personally satisfied.🌳
However, as I walked through the showroom, it felt a bit 'artificial' overall. It didn't feel like a space where people actually live, and it felt like a specific 'model'. So I felt like I was being guided too much.🍁
Overall, there were many products closely related to daily life, so it was a place that could provide a lot of ideas and inspiration for those who want to change their interior.🌲

Summer at Godeokcheon
🔮Summer at Godeokcheon is a season where you can experience the tranquility of nature right in the heart of the city. Visiting Godeokcheon during summer allows you to enjoy the soothing sound of flowing water and spend leisurely moments. Especially on hot and humid days, the area around Godeokcheon naturally offers a refreshing coolness. With lush trees providing plenty of shade and the river breeze blowing, you can momentarily forget the sweltering weather.
Walking along Godeokcheon, you'll often see people strolling or cycling during the summer, which leaves a lasting impression. It's a great spot to enjoy nature in a quiet atmosphere and escape the noise of the city for some healing time.🌳
However, during summer, there are occasional issues like water drainage or areas around the stream where overgrown grass seems to require maintenance. Despite these minor concerns, Godeokcheon remains an excellent place to feel close to nature and enjoy the summer season.🍁

I visited IKEA Gangdong~
🔮 IKEA Gangdong is a large store located in Gangdong-gu, Seoul. As soon as you enter, the spacious and pleasant atmosphere leaves a strong impression.
The interior of the store is neatly divided into sections, making it easy to find what you need. From furniture to accessories, kitchenware, and home decor items, the variety of products makes browsing enjoyable.
🌳 Especially noteworthy is the showroom within the store, which feels like a real home setup and is great for gathering ideas. The displays are well-organized, allowing you to visualize how to arrange furniture and accessories in detail. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is excellent, making purchases satisfying.
I also visited the restaurant and tried the famous Swedish meatballs after hearing about them. They were tastier than expected, making the dining experience enjoyable as well. Overall, the shopping experience left me with good memories.🍁
In summary, IKEA Gangdong is a great place to enjoy both shopping and dining. It's highly recommended for those looking for practical shopping, as you can see and experience a wide range of products firsthand.🌲
