Mont Blanc 紫芋のモンブランタルト Unlike the usual chestnut flavoured mont blanc, this variation uses 💜 purple sweet potato instead! It's truly a cake for to welcome autumn season in October with ingredients of the season like 🍁 maple syrup flavoured frangipane, 🍠 purple sweet potato paste and 🌰 marron glace. If you like Japanese purple sweet potato desserts like I do, you'll appreciate the flavour of this tart!

Coffee Walnut Loaf I really like this bread which has coffee ☕ dough rolled with plain dough 🍞 and walnuts in between, which provided a nice crunch within the soft fluffy bread. . . The flavours from the coffee dough was mild with subtle aroma so those expecting strong flavours might be disappointed but just think of it as a "plain-bread-but-better" kinda bread, and this makes a good choice to have as breakfast! . . I sliced the loaf into 1.5cm thick slices with my bread knife and slicing guide and kept the slices in the freezer and it served as a simple yet satisfying breakfast over the next 3 days!

Pepper Wiener It looks like a 🥖 but it isn't! It is a sausage bread encased in black pepper dough. This bread has a vastly different texture from most breads I did at @abccookingstudio_sg - it was crunchy! The dough also felt very different, being very dry and lots of resistance when kneading.

Ivory Fromage I attended my final ABC Passport class at @abccookingstudio_kr! It's located at Lotte World Mall, right next to the iconic Lotte Tower skyscraper in Seoul. . . Super happy that this cake is newly offered in ABC Korea this year and I get to attend this for free using my ABC Passport! It was a seasonal cake lesson at ABC Japan, not available in SG and I really wanted to attend it because it is similar to my favourite LeTAO Double Fromage cake! Indeed it tasted as good as it looks. . . This cheesecake is unique having a layer of baked cheesecake on top of a sponge cake and after it's baked and chilled we add on a layer of non-baked mascarpone cheesecake. Checkout my story highlights under "ABC" for the steps in between.

La Grande Jatte Mont Blanc 🌰 is one of my favourite types of cake and I'm glad to find this really good one in Seoul at @lagrandejatte_seoul thanks to @sychxn! The tart crust is so good I had to pause for a moment to savour it. Would love to try all the other cakes too if only I had more stomach space.

Tartine Bakery Seoul (Gangnam) I first tried Tartine in San Francisco where I lined up for 20mins outside their bakery just to order a 🥐 and I was so fascinated by how they make these legendary croissants. Swipe to check out the layers! I'm glad they now have 3 locations in Seoul which makes Tartine croissants closer to home at least! This particular store I visited in the lovely neighbourhood of Gangnam was beyond my expectations. Opened not too long ago in Dec 2018, this is the newest Tartine location in Seoul and the space was bright and beautiful even on a rainy day. It was also very interesting to people watch the customers who come and and out of the doors. The patrons here do look different from the common folks in Seoul and perhaps this is what they mean by Gangnam Style 😂

Jeonju Bibimbap Jeonju is famous for bibimbap and I had to have it even when I wasn't hungry at all. I didn't expect that this restaurant, Family House Bibimbap, would dish out so many side dishes! They use beef tartare from fresh local beef which sets it apart from the usual bibimbap. Swipe to see how the bibimbap looks like after mixing up!

Jeonju Hanok Village | PNB Chocopie The Hanok Village of Jeonju is an area of old conservation houses which reminds me of the Kurashiki Bikan area in Okayama for their black roofs and traditional looking houses! It's a very popular region for tourists to come dress up in Hanboks. Jeonju is also famous for a particular PNB Chocopie, a brownie like cake filled with cream and jam and coated with chocolate. There are many other brands selling similar products in the Hanok village but @pnb1951 is the one to go for! Tried another choux like pastry they had and it was really yummy too.

Goong | 宮 | 궁 Visited Jeonju for a day, which is 2hrs by high speed train from Seoul and is known as 'the flavorful city of Honam region'. It is a great place to try for 🇰🇷 Korean traditional and royal style cuisine - cuisine consumed at the court of the Joseon Dynasty. This meal at Goong serves traditional Korean royal cuisine which is such a spread. This is only the beginning and the dishes kept coming in! I love how beautiful this whole space looks and all diners are accommodated in private rooms.

Byeokje Galbi (Sinchon) I still prefer having beef for my Korean BBQ. This restaurant offers premium cuts of beef 🥩 and my favourite is the ox tongue and the galbi! For a cheaper option the bulgogi is really tasty too, marinated in sauce.

Sigonggan 时空間 There are plenty of earring shops in Korea but my favourite is Siggongan. In my visit to Korea last year I went to another store which was near Hongik University but this store here is right next to the Hongik Univ. Subway exit and I think it's new! It's much bigger and so beautiful (swipe see partial walkthrough). They have such a wide variety of earrings and other accessories with varying price range. I am allergic to metal and my ears itch after prolonged wear of earrings so pure silver is the way to go! I also selected a colourful beads piece despite it not having silver pic because I just love the design so much.

Jungsik Seoul This 2 star restaurant in Seoul piqued my interest because they have a restaurant in New York too and NYC is my favourite city! The food here was interesting and had Korean influence in the choice of ingredients. My favourite has to be the 🌽 ice cream dessert which looked just like a corn! The other mugwort dessert item was modelled after the 🗿 volcanic rocks of Jeju island. It was interesting that I could immediately recognise the design because I had just flew in from Jeju that very morning!
