Directions to Gaepan(๊ฐํ) open by Minwoo of Shinhwa
After the chicken at Kyochon, we went to "Angel and Us" next to the Super Junior Kona Beans to chill, and also tap on the wireless internet to check for some information for tomorrow's trip. I was craving for some coffee and a good dessert, preferably a tiramisu cake again. Angel and Us Coffee is everywhere in Seoul, but that was my first time visiting it.
Angel and Us in Apgujeong. There were cups with celebrity photos attached to them. This place was apparently one of the shooting sites for jaejoong's japan drama. The cafes in Seoul always felt nicer, maybe because it's winter, cafes gave a sense of warm and comfort. The cafe were getting the deco ready for Christmas then.
After the transformation at Trick Eye Museum, I became an angel here again. But the wings were too high. ><
The lady who served us had really a good vibe and smile. Sadly, there wasn't tiramisu cake, but it's waffle again. It's delicious. But the coffee didn't taste so good. Somehow after the waffle and coffee, we felt very full.
It would be a very long story to how we got to Gaepan, but the bottom line is, we got there safely, unexpectedly by foot. It's about 5-6pm when we arrive at Gaepan, there's only one table of customers. I guess the dinner crowd wasn't here yet. There was this girl who tends the restaurant. She gave us a menu in Korean, then we let out a blur face unknowingly, then she uttered two words: "์ค๊ตญ", then we were like "Yes yes yes....><"ย So she went and brought us a menu in Mandarin.
We did not take this picture. It's a picture from the satellite. As my camera battery went flat altogether. We did not have a picture of the restaurant signboard. ><
I've heard that Shinhwa members would dropby once in while, mostly late in the night. So I won't get to see them as we need to head back early. But it's still good, to come to a restaurant open by Shinhwa is cool. :)
As we were all not hungry, we ordered a pork's tofu stew which was delicious, but it's slight on the spicy side. It came with brown rice, so healthier concept by Minwoo. It cost us...I think 18000won.
There was a projector screen in the restaurant, and it's Hyesung at Music Bank...I think...><
Gaepan was getting ready for Christmas too. The crowd started pouring in gradually. There were a lot of pretty ladies, they are slim, long hair, fair, small face; very pretty. Some of them smoke though, so it makes them look less pretty. So if Minwoo were to dropby tonight, I thought this would be a good view for him.

Shinhwa in Gaepan, I did not bump into these cool guys. If you do, give them a big bear hug and a friendly kiss on the cheeks for me.
I had indicated the names of the resturants and shops which you may pass by if you should follow this map. However do take note that some of the places might already been closed down or relocated, so follow closely to the routes of the map is the best way to go, the names provided is just acting as a guide for you. There are also other ways to get to Gaepan, this is the route I thought would safest to share. :)
