Murphy101 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I’m just saying I need name and address of coffee shop at some point! Not so much the cheese themed park. LOL ETA: of all the things. This picture started an argument between Dh and I 😆🙄🤨 Edited January 3, 2023 by Murphy101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 It's only a ten minute walk from Imsil station, on the Jeolla line, about 2.5 hours south of Seoul. So convenient. In case @Murphy101 changes her mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite possible that the barista boy thought he was making a cute coffee for my daughter. She's charming people left right and centre here.

No exaggeration. Ediya is a chain, and they do nice big mugs. I'll try to find you the exact address of that one. Hapjeong would have multiple Ediyas.

No lie, I’m a huge coffee addict and my understanding is that makes South Korea the perfect vacay for me bc it’s a people of coffee addicts.

And there's a cafe culture where you buy one thing and sit for hours. People sit there working and studying for literally hours. They have charging ports at the tables, so they are clearly encouraging you to settle in and get comfy. The menus are pretty amazing at the coffee shops too. I'll try to remember to get a photo for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolate-chip chooky Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 We went to a really cute coffee shop in Hongdae the other day. Their latte art was more conservative, but really really pretty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bonus! Yes, it's quite comparable to Australia too. Fruit and veg though, wowsers it's expensive! These grapes are about $22AU. I saw punnets of strawberries for over $20 too. 😮 We shop at a big E-mart. It's possible that fresh markets might be cheaper, but we haven't come across any yet.

I hear tell their grapes are different than here (thicker and more bitter) and that’s why most their remove the skin to eat them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are expensive at my local Japanese and Korean supermarkets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't tried them, so I really don't know. Too expensive! I saw a small punnet (15 grapes - I counted 😄) for $7 yesterday. And you tell me they are bitter and they require effort? 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember what I was reading, it was ages ago, but probably something like this old article from 2017:https://www.ausbushfoods.com/index.php/news1/126-native-bush-food-demand-outstripping-supply You know, the foodstuffs the occasional ABC Life article tells us we should be buying, but we obviously can't because the industry isn't big enough to supply Coles and Woolies. *eyeroll* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
