Black-and-white New York interior and sofa seats at Hongrad

Hongrad has a New York-concept black-and-white interior, and I loved the vibe with the comfortable sofa seating added on top!

Overall it was clean and also had a nice atmosphere for photos and chatting. Some people came alone to read a book, and it's also great for visiting with a partner or friends!

What we ordered: Snoopy brownie, melon soda and mango smoothie

This time we ordered the Hongrad brownie, melon soda, and mango smoothie!

• Hongrad Brownie ₩7,500
• Melon Soda ₩6,500
• Mango Smoothie ₩7,000

For dessert we ordered the Hongrad brownie, which is a rich chocolate dessert, so it went really well with a sweet drink.

They pipe a cute Snoopy face on it with chocolate syrup, and it was so adorable!!

It looked pretty too, so placing it on the table with the drinks made for great photos. Even with just one dessert ordered, there's a nice photo point, which is great for pictures for social media or a blog! I love chocolate, so eating something sweet like this put me in a good mood ><

For our drink we ordered the mango smoothie! It has that distinct sweet, tangy mango feel, so it paired really well with the dessert.

The melon soda's color really stood out when photographed against the black-and-white interior! My boyfriend even said it was the best melon soda he's had so far lol.
