Arrival and Atmosphere

Hello everyone~! 💖

Today, I'm quickly sharing a review of a hot place café in Haenggung-dong that I was so satisfied with right after visiting 😆✨

☔ On a rainy weekday afternoon, I headed out impulsively!

On the way back from the hospital

I looked out the window and saw the rain falling 🌧️

Suddenly, that name popped into my mind... 'Hot Praha'!

It's that super popular café in Haenggung-dong famous for its chimney bread (Trdelník) concept, right?!

Usually, there's always a wait to get in, but on a rainy weekday afternoon like today...

'Maybe I can get in without waiting?!'

I had a strong lucky feeling!! ⚡

As soon as I thought of it, I drove straight over without hesitation 🚗💨

🏰 A space full of European vibes and charm

Indeed, my guess was spot on! ✌️

No waiting at all, I went right in 🤎

Because it was a rainy day, the castle view outside the window looked even more moist and charming 🌿

From the vintage wood interior to every small ornament, it felt just like visiting a small bakery in Prague... 📜🕯️

Menu Selection and Tasting

💡 Quick tip!

When I visited around 4 PM, many of the popular menu items were already sold out 😭

If you want to grab all your favorite breads, I recommend going a bit earlier

🥐 Today's lineup of breads I picked ✨

Although many were sold out, I chose some hearty and satisfying ones 😋

The popular plain chimney bread 🥖 (You must get the signature item!)

The explosion of savory taste, pistachio bread 💚

A perfect mix of sweet and salty, the salt bread 🧂

(Must-have for flavor combination!)

🤤 Rolling and tearing to eat is so much fun with amazing taste!

As soon as I got home, the bread party began 🎉

Rolling the chimney bread by hand, tearing it along the grain, taking a bite, and dipping it generously in sweet and soft custard cream...

Wow, it was truly incredible ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

A taste that makes you so happy...!! 🔥💛

The outside is crispy, inside chewy, and adding sweet cream makes a delightful ring in your mouth 🔔✨

Adding the saltiness of the salt bread creates an endless perfect cycle of sweet and salty... 🤤
