Gangnam 'Fix You'/ A sweets shop or a Secret cafe with dessert

There is a import snack shop in Gangnam that I love as much as 'Sweet Space'. The name is 'Fix You'. On the surface, It is a world specialty shop. But when you go inside You can find a secret garden cafe. I introduce you 'Fix You'.

It is hard to notice that is a import snack shop just with a signboard and name 'Fix you'. For many years, a variety of shops have been tried there, and now there is a foreign confectionery shop.

Unlike Sweet Space shop, there are lots of Korean sweets in the Fix You, and a high proportion of 'bad but interesting sweets' in the shop. So you can meet lots of special sweets that revive childhood memories.

There is also a corn sweets which is often called 'Bat du rung'. It is a corn snack that has a lot of chewing fun. And Pumpkin honey flavor sweet is also on sale. The price is very cheap.

I'll buy one and cook it on the stove.  Confectionery snack can not be identified. It is my favorite pastry, but nowadays, it does not taste the taste of old days. The old version had three long cookies in one piece and that was more delicious.

There is also jelly, Haribo, which can not be missed, and ice cream is also being discounted. I love Monica. And Sweet pretzel that I met at Noryangjin. I do not buy because there is a memory that taste was disappointed.

Japanese instant noodles and yakisoba are also available.3,000 won for two people, I will try it later! I would like to use it when I miss my trip to Japan. 

They are selling a cute beer, so I left a picture. It's really just a sip size. Here is also a sip size drink, but it is a Goryangju. Even if you drink only one sip, you will suffer from hangover the next day. 

At the counter we sell sprouted germinated wholemeal bread. They made bread without milk, eggs, or butter. Health is clear, but how about taste?

On the counter side, they sell sculpted cakes. In fact, Fix You is ​​a sweets shop, but it is also a cafe. It's a very good cafe with very atmospheric. Just not a shop where put a table on one side of the cake. When you pass the selling sweets, the cafe space appears inside.

There was a cafe space where the atmosphere was 180 degrees different from the place where we sold the sweets. When I go further inside, I see this secret space. 

The appearance is foreign confectionery specialty shop, but it is the reverse shop of Gangnam Fix You which hides the good atmosphere cafe inside. I would be very happy to buy a bunch of snacks and sit in a cafe and drink with coffee. I was happy.

Gangnam 'Sweet Space'/ A store can buy discount snacks and candies from around the world, especailly 'TimTam'

There was a overseas sweets shops boom in Korea. They have lost a lot now, but some of the stores are still alive in Seoul and make my taste happy.

My favorite place for overseas sweets is Gangnam's Sweet Space! I introduce 'Sweet Space' where various overseas sweets await in their wide store. Sweet Space can meet when we go up to Nonhyeon Station from Gangnam Station of Seoul.

There is also Arnott's demon sweet 'Timtam', which was first introduced in 1958. The price is 1000 won! Unfortunately, this Tim Tam is not a delicious one. Of course, this Tim Tam is also delicious and I enjoy it.

But if you've tried real Timtam which made in Australia, you might felt a bit disappointed by this cheap Tim Tam. This friendly price Timtam is Timtam which made in Indonesia. It is said that recipe is different from Timtam made in Australia.

Sweets outside of the Sweet Space. The price is cheap. Sometimes the expiration date is imminent, and there are some sweets coming out cheaply, and this is a real big hit. I don't mind an hour left before the expiration date. It will disappear in ten minutes anyway.

Taiwanese Nougat crackers can be seen. Of course, to get the really tasty crackers should go to a Taiwanese specialty store. But if you want to immerse yourself in the memories of your trip to Taiwan, Nougat crackers in the Sweet Space are not so bad.

There is also wahhas with peanut butter which I love. Julie's Wafers Peanut butter, it's like a friend for me who really like peanut buttered sweets.

While talking, there was a delicious TimTam, a real TimTam or an Australian Tim Tam. It is also expensive sweet which is from original home town. But the taste is overwhelmingly dominated by Australia's Tim Tam than Indonesian Tim Tam.

The reason why Australian Tim Tam shows this difference is because of the difference in recipe. There are plenty of cocoa butter and cocoa masses in Australia's Tim Tam, but a synthetic flavor is being substituted for Indonesia Timtam.

If you want to choose delicious(and expensive) Tim Tam, please check the origin of the back. Sometimes there is a shop selling expensive Indonesian timtams. If so, make sure you are an Australian Tim Tam!

Gangnam Sweet Space sells not only foreign sweets but also various foreign ingredients.
Here are selling honey. Ketchup, mayonnaise and other sauces include mustard and chili sauce. I would like to try some olives someday. I heard that it's so good for our health.

There is a corner inside the shop where you can pick candy at will. I'm too sad because I couldn't find my favorite chocolate pretzel in a store.

They also sell liquor. It is a corner where they sell various kinds of foreign tea. There is Switzerland Miss Cocoa which thinks on a cold day. Eat it with marshmallows, I can say good-bye to cold winter. Maple syrup is also with pancakes!

Products with imminent shelf life are sold at 10% to 30% discount on a corner. Sometimes I am lucky enough to have a discount of more than 50%, so whenever I go to Gangnam, I find Sweet Space.

You can also see the Pepperidge Farm which is a high-class sweets compare to others in USA . Pepperidge Farm's chocolate cookie series are expensive even if it is discounted. To be bought only on special occasions.

I'm back to the store entrance. What I have in my hands is Indonesia Tim Tam. It is often called a fake Timtam, but it is not fake because it is different from its origin. It is not good enough to eat Australian Tim Tam. But it will soothe my heart sometimes.

Indonesia Tim tam says the origin when if you look upside down. So please be careful when you buy it.

Gangnam Sweet Space, It is probably the most overseas store I've ever been to. You can meet a variety of foreign sweets which makk you feel like you are travelling abroad.

Seoul Gimbap at Yangjae Station/ 'Korean style fast food' Chicken mayo Gimbap, Cream cheese Gimbap, and Vegetable Gimbap

Nowadays, Gimbap is also evolving to a high-class era. 'Barda GimSeonsaeng' comes to mind first when it comes to high-grade Gimbap. I found Seoul Gimbap which I did not know before that was

in front of Yangjae Station when I was looking for a place to eat. Let's try once whether it is a Gimbap house that can trust for my meal or not.

It is the inside of the shop where menu of Seoul gimbap is seen. A variety of Gimbap menus are noticeable. I always wanted to eat that cream cheese Gimbap. It is cream cheese which seems

not to match with rice at all, but it is. I eat Cream cheese Gimbap because I just like it, and I eat cuase it is more delicious than I thought. I ordered Cream cheese Gimbap at Seoul Gimbap too.

Gimbap shops have always open kitchen. Kimbab is cooked as soon as the order is placed. It is no exaggeration to say that Gimbap is the peak of Korean fast food.

 It is Gimbap of Seoul Gimbap which packed and brought home. In turn, it is Chicken mayo Gimbap, Cream cheese Gimbap, and Vegetable Gimbap.

First, it is Chicken mayo Gimbap and it is Gimbap with sense of meat something that I can not know! And the mayonnaise content was not high enough, and it made me sad cause I am mayonnaise enthusiast . But the chicken was thick and the texture for chewing was alive.

The second is Cream cheese Gimbap which I always wonder. I don't know what the shape of the cream cheese is in Gimbap, but it match well with rice much more than I thought.

'Barda GimSeonsaeng' have a menu with cream cheese and walnuts and Seoul Gimbap also put walnuts in cream cheese Gimbap in . The combination of creamy cheese and walnuts makes an impressive assertion to overcome the awkwardness of rice.

It is a taste that I think is unique every time I eat it. I think I'll try it again when the next time I eat Gimbap at Seoul Gimbap.

Vegetable Gimbap is really plain. It is full of vegetables and it made me feel healthy when I eat it. Still, Seoul Gimbap is more high quality compare to 'Gimbap Heaven'.

It is a common Gimbap, but when you want to eat a little more delicious, you will find a high quality Gimbap Shop like Seoul Gimbap in front of Yangjae Station.

I compare it with others like Barda GimSeonSaeng and Robot Gimbap and among them I use Seoul Gimbap. Nevertheless, it is often used because of its location, being near my house. I really enjoyed Gimbap today.

Between winter and spring, Walking in Seoul Yangjae Cheon

It's already been a long time since Sony Mirrorless a5000 came out, but for me it's the perfect camera. It is a blessing that there is a place to take such a leisurely stroll near the house. I would like to enjoy good surroundings near my house and exercise hard.

It is the way to go to Yangjae Cheon. I found a new store, Queens Blvd. It sell burritos. I'll have to buy it later instead of lunch on weekends. The MealPlanB that I ate at Anshan before was delicious, but I am expecting the burritos here. 

The road stretching along the Yangjae Cheon road is beautiful. I am not looking for the stability of my heart by seeing the road so long. 

The road stretching along the Yangjae Cheon road is beautiful. I am not looking for the stability of my heart by seeing the road so long. 

The sun is getting slower. There is a bird house on the tree. I wonder whether birds had warm winter or cold winter. In Yangjae, there are many people who come for a walk after winter, 

people who exercise, cyclists, people. I do not know the name of people who have never seen it, but I feel a sense of uniqueness in the thought of walking like this. I saw a bird that was supposed to be a turtledove. 

The Tower palace is looking far away. Next time, I would like to take a night view of the Tower Palace by Misuni(Sony Mirrorless). I think it will come out pretty. It becomes a glare. 

The magic hour is starting. Just before the sun goes down and the darkness comes, It is an irony that can not be tolerated. 

People took a lot of night view here. It looks like a beautiful view of the building reflecting Yangjae Stream.

The ducks look like as if it go for a dinner preparations. I went straight across Yangjae cheon and came forward to the Family Court.

If you look at the statue that seems to be free in front of the courts, I think it seems to be in a place where there should not be something that should not be. It's just my misunderstanding, right? It looks so free. Why does it looks so free.

Yangjae Cheon is attractive whenever you walk. This time, I put the Yangjae stream on the border of winter and spring into my camera. If the day gets hotter, I would like to put the Yangjae stream again and all four seasons gathered together in my camera .

The days will be regarded as beautiful records rather than sadness. Yangjae Chun excursion trip, I was happy.
