B1 Food Cafe at Dongdaemun Seoul Review

As agreed, i will tell you the full story of my encounter at this eatery...

Most of the time, what draws our attention to a eating place are the beautiful photos of the food. As it was the many nights into our trip so we decided to try something different from our usual eating place.

Entering this cafe, you are greeted by a lady who do not really seems to be happy that an customer is coming in to disrupt her peace. Throwing down the menu, she went back to where she was sitting and continued watching her show. Still, that was ok, so we went ahead to order what we want.

Then while waiting for our food, i heard the neighbouring customer who just went to make payment commented "Why this lady so rude one?" So i was prepared for whatever pattern the lady is going to have towards my table.

Food came, they look far from the photo. Dumpling Ramen (with 5-6 dumplings in the photo) only came with 2 dumplings. Kimchi soup with white rice, turned out to be yam rice. So my friend tried to ask her if they have white rice instead, pointing to the photo.

She rudely pointed that the following part of the menu, rolled her eyes and walked away. Went to the older lady who is doing all the cooking and started to complain about us asking for what is shown in the photo.. *confused*

Here's what she pointed to:


I'm sure many of you are thinking, where is this cafe? I'm glad you asked. Below is the name and logo of this food cafe. It's located at Dongdaemun near Good Morning City Shopping Mall. :) Eat at your own risk.

Old School Delight

As the Singapore's national day is here.. and unfortunately i cannot be in Singapore due to work, i will share the food i miss!

Chicken wing, Laksa and curry chicken!This is a little cafe sitting along Upper Thomson road. They sell traditional toys a.k.a masak masak at a small corner of the the shop. I guess National Day is a time of reminiscing the wonderful childhood days.

All that i ATE!

This restaurant is black listed by me! Hahahaha! Food is expensive and service is BAD! the people really couldn't be bothered to serve you and they are not very honest. We ordered the smallest portion but i am quite sure it is not. because how can the smallest portion cost us more than S$20 for a plate of roasted pork and the BBQ pork. Total we spent nearly S$40 and they did not want to give us the receipt breakdown of the price. Disappointing for a high class restaurant like them. For the terrible service and the ok food, i will rate is a 2 star. But for the bad service, i might never wanna go back there for food.

This is a cafe at Sheung Wan. Food is not bad. A simple place. The breakfast set is really worth it. It's almost breakfast 'cum' lunch for us. Spent less than S$10 for all that's below. i will rate it a 3 star.

This is located at Tsim Sha Tsui, along the main road at level 10. A quite new restaurant that just started operation for 2 months. Not very expensive, quite nice food. Can get a 3.5 star. The peanut with seaweed side dish given at the beginning will be charged. You can tell them you don't want it but it's worth trying because it's really nice. Total we spent around S$20 for the 2 of us.

This is a "Dian Zhi Mian" store in Prince Edward Road that we entered, hoping to fill our stomach. The food turns out to be quite bad. DO NOT order the pig knuckles there because it is not what you did be expecting. Below is the photo of the pig knuckles we got, it is really a pig leg and you can see the feet. Vegetable is so-so only, no taste and not fresh. i will rate it 1.5 star only. Spent around S$12 on these.

MUST TRY! i would give this store a 5 star! This is a "Mian" store located at Sheung Wan. Take the Exit B and you will see a Circle K Supermart across the street. This store is located right beside the Circle K mart. The Ramen is so nice we went back the 2nd time. The meat are very very well marinated and this is like that real Hong Kong food! Spent only S$17 on these.

Very nice desert store at Shim Tsui Po. It's a very very small shop that you might have just passed it by if you do not give attention to it enough. Deserts are really nice, very good attitude services. There's the hot healthy kind and also the cooling favored snow with their interesting toppings. i will give it a 4 star! Spent S$10 on these.

This is our last stop at the airport before checking in, at the level 3 of Airport Terminal 1 in Hong Kong. i will give it a overall 3 star. Prices are ok, food is not too bad. Soya sauce chicken, 3rd picture below taste good.
