Grød

Like i've mention before, I will try my best to go out as much as possible during the weekend, even when there is work required to be submitted on monday! Just have to be really hardworking at night and try to get things done =)


So this weekend, i was suggested by a mate to head to a street, which is refer to the the Hells angel street (Jægersborggade) in Nørrebro. Not sure about you guys, as i turn my bike going into the street, i find the road patches very intriguing. Almost would be able to relate to the Hells and angel thing or maybe yin n yang? There is another Coffee collective there, and it's well packed with people at 12pm when i arrived. It's not a long street but definitely feel with this boho vibe to it. Not exactly very, but getting there. It would be a nice street just to escape for a bit from the city.

 It's a great weather to begin with, great companion, great mood, everything is just so great. It's really to describe this kind of feeling. It's just feel like the perfect morning where nothing is gonna turn bad. im a happy kiddo. So as, me and my friend walk along the street, one session of long clapping grabbed our attention. A crowd gathering outside one of the shop, accompany with loud chattering. Being the kepo guy yeah we went and have a look.



It's Grød. it's situated at the far end of the street. a humble small, shop with minimalist design but packed with people that day. Apparently it was there first day of business, see how lucky i was to actually to stumble upon it and hell yeah very glad we stumble upon this place. It was a long queue but judging on the queue they must have been doing something right!



A simple way of using space, rough decoration and clean cut. I am actually adoring the design. If u zoom out a little bit, it sets in this rough looking neighbourhood, anything posh or sleek looking shop would totally look out of space.


It's a good 5-10 minutes queue, so here am i introducing to you to my new second-hand leather shoes! (360kr) that i manage to get it from a Second hand shop, Københaven K (Teglgårdstræde 4). At last a shop that offers a wide range of street wear for both men and women! It was a good grab.




In the shop, everything is in danish, but stress free for me considering imma walking around with a danish buddy hhaha! I did manage to guess whats one of them rødbede risotto (pretty obvious it's a beetroot no?), and Havregrød med solbær (oatmeal with blackcurrant) is what i had. (30kr each) and accompany with 2 latte (20kr) which is surprisingly cheap.




I was quite reluctant to have something sweet in a savoury dish. I had this experience when i had a rosewater risotto in Tasmania, Australia and it was an absolute disaster in every way! I did squinch my eye as i put the first spoon into my mouth and...delighted =) It taste so good probably because of the acidity of the blackcurrant cut through the sweetness of the dish. Absolutely winner!

Manage to find a sit among the heavy crowds around the place, perfect ambient, like i say weather is great and the background chattering and laughing sound of people there. A restaurant can never fake that! Even the 20kr latte taste so good, it's standard but it's a perfect standard latte i had. Trust me i pay for more for sucky one before. I would strongly recommend this place for sure!

Imma definitely going back soon, perhaps next week?

Ssamziegil

21.01.11 Insadong, Korea

The quirky four-story complex, complete with a spiral staircase, brought an edgy, youthful energy to the tourist-heavy neighborhood.

But in contrast to the traditional teahouses, temple food restaurants and souvenir shops in the neighborhood, Ssamziegil, and the area around it, offers a fresh alternative for tourists and Koreans alike. It contains more than 70 shops offering everything from whimsical handicrafts made by young korean designers to vintage clothing and souvenirs. There is also a handful of galleries with works by emerging artists and a variety of restaurants. Even in the walls of Ssamzie-gil, people can't take their eyes off from lovable wall printings.

As you do your window-shopping through the lovely, cozy stores all the way to the top, you will arrive at Haneulmadang where you can get a extraordinarily clear view of the sky.

in heaven

It was my first day(17th), walking around buchon hanok village where we stumble upon this shop called kikismith. i dunno why but i have this urge of going into it. there is this sense of mystery to it, glass door with a simple typo on it. the stairs going down is pearl white, this alone add on more mystery to it. We enter and bull's eye ! it was a vintage shop!

Me love vintage shop as much as a girl love her diamond. i saw this really nice really nice boxy bag. How pretty is it? if ur favourite star is megan fox or maybe Kim bun(theqings crazy crush). This bag certain beat that! i didn't buy it on the first day, cause i was uncertain about the price, remembering kim telling me it was really cheap to buy vintage stuff in Korea.

But to me it's already cheap! I spotted this bag, and theQings also spotted another bag. It's balenciaga but sold in a very very cheap price! we still are very uncertain how authentic is it. But after walking around and touching the quality of "fakes" bag. She thinks even its fake it must be a grade triple A.

So on the 19th we decided to go back to the shop and buy it!
