Salon de L is a hair salon in Seongdong, Seoul, offering scalp analysis and intensive hair treatments. After Trisyscore ampoules, a carbonated spa, and steam care, my hair felt soft, hydrated, and glossy after drying. Verdict: Salon de L’s attentive care and service left me very satisfied.
Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul is a bakery in Jongno, Seoul, tucked into a Gwangjang Market alley. I browsed mugwort red-bean, injeolmi, strawberry, and Udo peanut choco pies before packing an assorted six-piece box. Verdict: a polished dessert souvenir worth adding to a Gwangjang Market food crawl.
Daily Fix Euljiro is an American diner near Cheonggyecheon Stream in Jung-gu, Seoul, serving handmade burgers with 100% Hanwoo beef patties. After a Cheonggyecheon walk, I had a smoked-bacon burger and generous thick-cut fries, with window and bar seating that made dining alone comfortable. Verdict: a great stop when a seriously juicy burger is calling.
