LINE Friends Cafe & Store at Garosugil - Seoul, South Korea



LINE. It's amazing how an application for communications on for electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets can be this big. There are many but why LINE, they have cute characters and definitely became a brand. Asia is a very big market and yes Asians love cute things.

The Store

Who's your favorite LINE character? Mine? Of course it's Brown, well James is cute too. Brown the bear is the most popular, second is probably Cony. Here you can find all LINE character for real well at least you can touch it. When it's became a brand, they can sell pretty much anything. 


The store is big but not too spacious. Ground floor filled with stuffs such as stationery, accessories, dolls, Brown figures, so cute! While the cafe is on the basement level, apparel is on the upper ground. T-shirts are quite affordable, guess what? I saw some of T-Shirt labels and found out that it's made in Indonesia well not all, better be proud. 


You really do not want to miss this thing, taking pictures with LINE Character. The icon is a very big Brown just after the front door. All visitors wanted to take picture with big Brown, it took some time until my turn, so just make sure to get your camera ready.

Cafe 

From chocolate, cakes, macarons, to ice cream. Is it expensive? Well, Seoul is expensive but I think the pricing here is wise enough. Too cute to eat, or is it just cute by the appearance? You decide, to me I enjoyed their ice cream like nothing else.


There are 4 kinds to choose, Cony in cup or cone and Brown also in cup or cone. I had Cony cone and Brown in a cup. It was so good, smooth not so creamy ice cream, not too sweet, not milky, it's just right to my palate. Personally I like Brown better than Cony, in this case of ice cream. Softserve was the same but Brown has chocolate biscuit and the chocolate flakes. Light and crispy chocolate flakes, delightful! It costed me 3800 won for each. Whenever you're around Seoul, this place is definitely worth to visit, more over it's located at Garosugil (tree-lined street), the famous shopping street, lots of enticing things to shop around.

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
