Story In the cafe 'HOLLYS COFFEE' of South Korea

[Blue Rose]

I was asked to write a thread about my favorite cafe of South Korea.

I never knew that there were so many people who were interested in my country, South Korea.
I was astonished. In fact, many of Korean consider their country as a weak and unknown country.

They have little confidence, and usually envy other countries' people, especially in US or EU nations'.
Often, they call their country 'Hell-Chosun'. It means the hellish Korea.

Anyway, there will be some photos which I had taken in this cafe.

Those sweets look delish.

There are many great things to experience in Korea and East Asia in general. However, you want to be there as a guest. You don't want to be part of the society. The society is the hell. If I'm ever going back to Asia, it will be in the employment of a western company, and I will present myself as an outsider. This way I can enjoy the good things and be blind to the bad things.

Do you like Champon, Blue Rose? There's soo many good Korean foods, I'm super jealous of all your sweets. I miss the Korean shops near where I used to live, could full a bucket up of different variants of Kimchi for real cheap and they also had lots of really good pastries with Taro flavor.

I like Champon too! I was touched with those who were loving my country so much! I want to introduce an interior photo of a Paris Baguette:)

I've spent about 5-6 month in South Korea in 2015. 3 month in Seoul and more than 2 month on Jejudo. That's really interesting country. But kinda of sad point, that Koreans preferred to follow western model of society instead of their traditional culture.

But I don't know how people over there can consider own country as weak and unknown. It's the most hi tech and progressive country in Asia (except Japan maybe, but I never been there).
Seoul subway - the best subway I had a chance to be. There's no city in US which has such a fresh, clean and organized underground system.
Kitchen is really amazing. I've even tried dishes, which are considered as a "unhuman/violent/disgusting/ here, when Americans hear about it.

Plus, I've tried the best desert in my life. I don't remember how it calls, but it was a place, where two guys where making those "candies" i guess, which been basically made on your eyes. We called it "clouds". They've been making it from rice flour, I guess, but the way they been doing it - was like a whole show, like a spider making his net. Incredible hand work. I remember I brought a lot of boxes of those things to home. Everybody who tried it, was craving for more. I wish I could get it again...or find out how they called at least.

I guess... It would be Mochi or Rice cake. In Korea, we call it 떡(Tteok)
Maybe you bought the soft, round, and chewy rice cake.

I can't regard it as other foods except Mochi or Rice cake.
And maybe they were white or light-brown colour.
But it is simply my assumption. Not all rice cake are white or light-brown.
Had it azuki beans or something other inside? If it had, I am sure it is Rice cake or Mochi.

Oh I've found it on youtube! corn flour not rice. Now I know that they called Dragon Beard candy. Nostalgia from this video

I would love to see South Korea firsthand. Unfortunately I don't think us little people will ever have the freedom to travel internationally again. I hope I'm wrong.
