Hello Kitty Cafe in Sincheon

Hello Kitty Cafe

This Hello kitty Cafe is one of seven if I remember correctly from what it said. This one is located down the a side street from the main road in Sincheon coming from the Ewha side. I actually didn't know this was hear until I was walking around the area. I know the more popular and well known one is located in Hongdae. However this one was nice too, less crowded but I think it was a little more well kept in Hongdae. 

The furniture was really cute. All Hello Kitty bow chairs and couches and even the tables had hello kitty face on it too. Everything in the cafe was pretty decked out in Hello Kitty from the decorations to the food items and even in the drinks too. The prices were typical for cafes in Korea but the special Hello kitty moose cake was 10,000 won which was a little pricey since it was pretty small maybe shared between two people at the most. 

Green Tea Latte

I got a green tea latte which even had a hello kitty face in the drink too. It was pretty good and really cute. They had have waffles and other desserts too with some sort of Hello Kitty theme in them as well too.

This is the front entrance to the cafe if you are looking for it on the street. The outside looked like it could use a paint compared to the one in Hongdae which was really pink and noticeable this one was a bit more subtle and wasn't as easily pointed out but still pretty easy to find.

Side Dishes and Soup

This Restaurant is called "요가 에" but to most foreigners its the Kalbi restaurant. It is located in Sincheon. However I believe there is others located through out Seoul. I saw one the other day in Myungdong. This restaurant has a lot of dishes that are cooked right on your table and at very reasonable price. For us we got a fried rice with chicken and kimchi and some other vegetables like green onion and white onion.  Although it was mostly only rice it was pretty filling and fed four of us all for I think 15,000 won which is really cheep for the amount of food there was. I think this was also four orders of the rice so a lot of good food for really good price.

Bars in Sincheon

Bar #1

The first bar is Wara wara which is a chain here in Korea I saw two in Sincheon and One in Hongdae but I assume there are more through out Seoul. This place was pretty good especially their Soju which is made with fresh blended fruit. They literally bring the Magic bullet with the fruit inside and blend it at your table then mix it all in for you. We tried a Strawberry Lemon,  pineapple and mixed berry soju. They also do the same thing with makgeolli too.

New Spring Menu

There is also a wide variety of food which is really good not just generic food to eat while you drink. We got a fried kimbap and a fried chicken both which came with fries that was pretty good. They also have like different types of nacho type things and other fried dishes that look pretty good and everything is pretty manageable when in a group so your bill isn't too expensive.

Bar #2


This is the second place we went in Sincheon. It says in english 2ND but is written in Korean sounded by the letters. It isn't hard to miss almost diagonal of Warawara with raindrop lighting in front it is located on the third floor I believe. I am not too sure what the name was I assume it was a generic bar not a chain like Warawara.  It had a pretty neat design with a water pond kind of going between all of the booths of seats. All of the seating areas were pretty private too, not so much a private room like some places but still enough to feel like you had your own space. The down side people smoke here like any other bars unlike warawara where it is not allowed.

Peach Crush

Theses are the drinks we ordered a pineapple soju and a Peach Crush. They were both pretty good but the soju couldn't really compare to Warawara since this one was just more like juice rather than the actual fruit. I believe for the pitcher of soju it was cheaper then Warawara but you really pay for what you get and it wasn't as good. Also in order to get drink you are required to get a food dish and this is what we got because it was the cheapest thing but even then it was 13,000 or 14,000 won for just french fries pretty much I was a little disappointed that the quality was very good.

Dining in Sincheon

First stop was lunch in Sincheon this place was near Artbox. For me I had a Tofu stew or soondubu with ham and cheese but it was more like vienna sausage rather then ham that I usually think of when I get ham but that is how it pretty much is everywhere in Korea. My friend had Bulgogi and veggies in that bowl more like your own personal shabu shabu was what it really was. Also side note hear there was only two of us so we were seat on this table that faced a wall..felt like time out or something but food was good and pretty cheep too so that was the main thing.

Shabu Shabu and Soondubu

The next stop of the day was Hans Deli which is a chain here in Korea they have lots of pastas and noodle type dishes. I had a baked Spaghetti which was pretty cheep but only in Korea can you have pasta and kimchi radishes I thought that was one of a kind.

Food in Edae and Shinchon

Food in Edae and Sincheon

Some of the foods I had the first couple of days in Seoul. This area is called Edae which is the area surrounding Ewha Women's University. There are a lot of cute and cheep clothes and shoes shops, lots of makeup place and lots of unique restaurants and cafes. There is also the area known as Sincheon which is the area right next to Edae. It is one stop away on the subway but still within walking distance of Edae.

This First dish is Jjangmyun(blackbean sauce noodles) with seafood, a few clams and cabbage. This was at "Maindish" a food court style restaurant on campus at Ewha women's university in the ECC or Ewha Campus Complex. This was around 5,500 won.

This Restaurant I am not too sure of the name it was one that we stumbled upon as we were walking in Sincheon. It was a chicken restaurant. For two people about 14,000 for a pretty big plate of chicken and rice.

As not the use of engrish here .."People..usually have a short lunch break or they just do not want to waste their time eating" this was on the walls of the restaurant.

A chain here in Korea Paris Baguette has a lot of different kind of pastries and cakes. There are tons of them all through out Seoul. My pastry that I has was a pizza roll type and had typical pizza toppings like cheese , olives, pepperoni and also pineapple. It was about 9,000 won for those two pastries and two drinks.

This coffee place is right across of the main entrance gate of Ewha and is on the second floor. It really can't be missed. It is just one of area coffee shops in the area. It was some what expensive for a coffee place but the atmosphere was really relaxed.It was about 4,000 won for a small size. I had a vanilla Latte, like what I've noticed in Korea coffee here is sweet as in everything and anything coffee where bought in from a can or at a shop is pretty sweet but I enjoy it.

Another side note about Korea a lot of place even coffee shops give you a buzzer to pick up you food and even coffee rather then just calling out numbers or order. I thought that was pretty smart and efficient idea here.

Vanilla Latte

Noodle kimbap was a restaurant maybe less then five minute walk outside of the main Ewha gate. They pretty much serve exactly what is says soup/ noodles and kimbap. We got a rolled egg kimbap to go and it was less then 3,000 won. Pretty cheep for a small snack or even light dinner.

Rolled Egg kimbap

This coffee place was right behind the Noodle Kimbap restaurant and though I did not go in I just took notice of the unique name.

Big Coffee?..

Here is just one of many street food place in Edae. Here is a chicken kabob with pieces of chicken and wonbok grilled with salt and usually a spicy paste sauce brushed on. Though I opted out of the spicy sauce it was still really delicious snack and only 2,000 won.

One of many Lotteria's this one in Sincheon. Lotteria is like a Korean chain of fast food restaurants in comparison to a Mcdonald's. Though Mcdonald's don't have Song Joonki on their cups. For about 5,000 won got a small drink, bulgogi burger (same a hamburger but better) and fries.

Lastly some more engrish on a bread a bought at the convenience store "The Elegant, delicious cake should bring you happy and delightful time".
