Susu's daily life

If you’re looking for a perfect spot for a gathering near Gangnam Station, I highly recommend Samhae Susan. We tried their signature menu, the Gwang-Sung-Yeon (광숭연) set—featuring flatfish (gwang-eo), mullet (sung-eo), and a mix of salmon and okdom (yeon-ok)—and a seafood ramen that was simply unforgettable. The star of the meal was the Gwang-Sung-Yeon set. Each fish had its own unique charm: Flatfish had a chewy, clean flavor with a subtle richness Mullet was buttery and soft, perfect for those who enjoy a deeper taste Salmon-Okdom mix (Yeon-Ok) was smooth and slightly fatty—absolutely delicious The set came with fresh herbs, garlic, ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce), wasabi, and soy sauce for endless pairing options.

After enjoying fresh sashimi, we wrapped up the meal with a seafood ramen that featured plump mussels, shrimp, and crab in a deep, spicy broth. The soup was in...

If you’re in Gangnam and looking for a dessert spot that blends tradition with a modern twist, Hangwa Warak (한과와락) should be on your list. This unique Korean dessert café offers everything from gelato made with traditional ingredients to beautiful Korean-style fried treats called juak (주악), all in a beautifully designed hanok-inspired space. I ordered a scoop of injeolmi gelato, a flavor inspired by traditional Korean rice cakes dusted with roasted soybean powder. The gelato was creamy, subtly sweet, and incredibly nutty. It had a chewy texture that perfectly mimicked the rice cake feel—innovative and nostalgic at the same time. Other gelato flavors include black sesame, yuja (Korean citron), mugwort, and more. It’s exciting to see how traditional Korean ingredients are being reimagined as gelato flavors.

In the middle of this sweltering heat, I found the perfect place to cool down— Very Bliss , a charming dessert café located in a quieter alley of Hongdae.
