Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar Seocho Gyodae Branch is a roastery and bakery café near Exit 9 of Gyodae Station in Seocho, Seoul. The order was four items at once — the signature Helsinki latte with the original babka, the Victoria scone and a petit pain au chocolat. Mini Male is the kind of café where walking out with coffee alone feels like a missed chance, because the pastry case takes the longest to decide on.
Robatayaki Sodam Guro Digital Complex Branch is a Japanese-style izakaya on the 2nd floor of a building on Kkalkkal-geori street near Guro Digital Complex Station in Guro, Seoul. Wanting both raw fish and hot soup, the writer ordered set no. 3 (48,000 won), which brings a small sashimi platter together with oden hot pot, eaten in a wooden partitioned booth out of sight of the next table. Robatayaki Sodam is the Guro izakaya to remember when sashimi and a hot soup dish sound right with a drink.
