Mom’s Touch Hu Deok-juk Kung Pao Thigh Burger Review, Paid for Myself|Taste · Price · Calories · Nutrition

The spicy Chinese-style sauce in Mom’s Touch’s Hu Deok-juk Kung Pao Thigh Burger pairs nicely with the familiar Thigh Burger flavor, making it less greasy and pleasantly savory. The extra cashew vegetable patty makes it more substantial than the regular Thigh Burger, though its thickness makes a full bite tricky. My overall rating is 3.9/5. The mobile voucher lists the burger alone at KRW 7,600 and the combo at KRW 10,100. Official nutrition figures for the burger alone are 779 kcal and 29 g of protein.

Honest Review of Burger King’s Black Truffle Cheese Burger, Paid for Myself | Taste · Price · Calories

Burger King’s Black Truffle Cheese Burger had a pleasantly soft texture, with truffle aroma complementing the patty, mushrooms, and cheese. Launch prices were KRW 10,700 for the burger and KRW 12,900 for the meal, with 769 kcal and 1,199 kcal respectively. I rated it 4 out of 5: I enjoyed the taste, but the price makes it an occasional craving rather than a regular order.

Mega Coffee Silver Wolf Cube Lemonade Honest Review | Taste, Price, Calories & Bought with My Own Money

Mega Coffee’s Silver Wolf Cube Lemonade had a fruity aroma that reminded me of grapes, with bright fizz and jelly cubes that made it lovely to sip cold. Available iced only, it costs KRW 3,900; the official nutrition information lists 193.5 kcal and 44.9 g of sugar per serving. I gave it 4.1 out of 5: a zesty, cooling lemonade with chewy jelly pieces and an easygoing flavor that I think many people would enjoy.

Record Pizza Gangnam Station Review | A Sports Pub for Pizza, Beer, KBO Baseball and Soccer

Record Pizza Gangnam Station is a sports pub with large TVs throughout, making it a handy spot for pizza and beer while watching baseball or soccer. The large, thin-crust pizzas, sausages and buffalo wings paired well with beer, and a 600 ml Hanmac draft was good value at KRW 5,900. The restrooms and amenities were well maintained, and I recommend booking through Naver for group visits or major matches.

Mega Coffee Blade Choco Cream Coffee Review | Taste, Price, Calories & Bought with My Own Money

Mega Coffee’s Blade Choco Cream Coffee tasted like an Americano with velvety cream and cocoa, and it was less sweet than I expected. Available iced only, it costs KRW 3,900; the official nutrition information lists 305.7 kcal and 43 g of sugars per serving. I give it 3.8 out of 5: I enjoyed the mellow flavor, but I think I would have been happier if it had cost around KRW 3,000–3,500.

Ujeongguk Bangi Review: An Atmospheric Jamsil Bar for Dates, Toowoomba Tteokbokki and Chilled Pork

With red lighting and retro décor, Ujeongguk Bangi is a lovely Jamsil bar for a drink on a date. The tender chilled pork and thick, spicy beef bulgogi Toowoomba tteokbokki paired beautifully with soju, and the sugar-dusted egg toast was a tasty finish. The restroom is shared and located inside, parking is unavailable, and Friday and Saturday evenings can fill up, so we recommend booking or calling ahead.

Here is an outdoor autumn date route that starts at Seoul National University Station, explores the alleys of Sharosugil, and continues on foot to Nakseongdae Park. At Nakseongdae Park, you can visit Anguksa Shrine and the Nakseongdae Three-story Stone Pagoda, then enjoy a stroll through the park in front of the shrine. In the evening, we returned to Sharosugil to enjoy the streets after dark and rounded off our date with a glass of soju at Kirakira Yoon’s Sharosugil branch.
