Had intended to spend the afternoon at Casual Poet with Shelby.
After battling the sizzling heat and climbing up the neverending stairway,
we realised it opens only at 3pm.
Plan B...
We headed for my new haven, Tea Cafe.
Tea of the day ... Long Jing (Dragon's Well) for me.
It came with preserved sugared mandrin.
A great symphony of taste.
Shelby's apple tea turned out to be quite a treat.
Mildly sweetened and has a light apple fragrance.
Tickles the tastebuds,
yet without the usual overbrewed tanin in most of the fruit tea I have tried.
Extra side orders...
Crispy fish rolls and tea egg.
Generous serving of fish rolls.
Toasted till they are real crispy. Yumz!
Most tea eggs are simmered till they are pretty dry inside in order to infuse the flavour.
This one is really flavourful and yet has a runny egg yoke!
The taste just overwhelms the senses.
Divine!
Another day of adventure at the Tea Cafe.
Bravo! Bravo!

Hi Cate!
ReplyDeleteI chanced upon your blog while searching for some interesting hangout in Korea. Would be dropping by Korea soon. You've really been to places! I love ya blog!
Thanks!!! There are plenty of neat cafes around Hongdae and Insadong in Seoul. A little pricy and sometimes the coffee is hot and miss but the tea is usually worth trying. Let me know when you go and what you find.
