DORE DORE - Rainbow Cake Cafe where Koreans Love

오후 11:03 missh 0 Comments


DORE DORE Thank You Cake 
Dore Dore is a dessert cafe well known for rainbow cake.
There are two kinds of rainbow cakes you can find.
Feels Good Cake & Thank You Cake


Dore Dore that I visited today is located in Seoul Express Bus Terminal.
Since this place is connected to Shinsegae Department store, underground shopping mall, bus terminal and metro station, the cafe seems more busy and uncomfortable compare to the other branches.  


What people praises for Dore Dore cakes is because of the look!
It doubles the flavor just by looking at the cakes.
However,Yes! the price is a bit expensive compare to the other cafe.
It cost about $8~$9 per piece. 
$50 for 15in. cake and $75 for 20in. cake. 


I personally do love this cafe but I think this branch is for people who needs to wait for the bus.
If you are looking for cozy place, I recommend you to visit other branch rather than visiting cafe right middle of bus terminal.
But if you are looking for cafe to seat and chat after visiting Shinsegae Department store or underground shopping mall, I recommend you to visit this place than Starbucks.

BigBang G Dragon's Pop Art in Seoul Museum of Art

오전 5:29 missh 0 Comments



I've forgotten to post this big event that K-pop lovers might like. 
Few months ago, I went to Seoul Museum of Art  (Seoul Sirip Misulgwan) to see G-Dragon's art work.
This museum is near City Hall Station and it takes about 3-5 min. walking distance. 



The title of this exhibition is PeaceMinusOne
Peace+Minus+One
(Coexistence of ideal peace & the actual reality.)  


As I remember, it took about $10 (USD) per person for the entrance fee,
and audio guide was available for $3. 



We were also able to see some of GD's collections. 


Some of sets of their music video.
( I had no idea that these art pieces were actually a part of set from their music video but..
thats what BigBang Fans told me.) 


had no idea..
(Someone with an audio guide! please tell me what this is... )


Generally, it was interesting to see how an musician gets involved in to different types of art and how he presents. It was great to see how GD has interest and potential not only on the music or fashion but to spend his time on this art exhibition. 


Rather this exhibition was one of the image marketing or a trend of celebrities being a photographer or painter, I think this exhibition was successful to show his passion and his love of art as a name of "ARTIST"

CAFE & BAKERY



Oldest Bakery In Seoul Taeguk Dang
I was so excited to visit one of the popular bakery in Seoul.


When you enter, you can see lots of breads and cookies
ready to be sold in the showcase. 


It was interesting for younger generation like us to see how the packaging was antique and old.
Personally, the packaging was not delicate but it was a good chance to look back how package design was looked on 1950s.   


This is one of the most popular menu in Tae guk dang bakery.
Monaka ice cream.


There are two kinds of monaka ice cream
One with original style milk ice cream
and one with layer of glutinous rice cake.
The prirce of these ice cream are 2000won and 2500won. 

We ordered piece of pecan pie,
a yellow mont blanc with whipped cream on the top,
and a hani citron.  


For my personal taste, all desserts in Taeguk Dang is not sweet compare to other bakeries.
But still it was a good chance to visit once in a lifetime.
