2017 Nov: South Korea: Seoul: Things to do in Miss Lee Cafe


1. Enjoy dosirak
Olden times in Korea, lunch boxes are prepared using a silver metal box.  Apart from rice, there are already sausage and egg, plus side dishes (seaweed, kimchi) inside and you just have to shake it before eating.


I enjoyed eating kimchi, but not yet with much volume. So I have set aside some kimchi first, cut the sausage and eggs into pieces then shake the box.  Here's the outcome, now I'm ready to taste it.


2. Taste the healthy omija-tea
Omija means "five flavors". With dried magnolia berries as the main ingredient, this tea will send your taste buds sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and pungency all at once. [Reference]


3. Wish at the wishing tree
The store provides note sheets and small wires, where you can hang wishes or greetings at the wishing tree. 


4. Enjoy the candies from your local's childhood memories
There is like a card where you can play the game of chance and get those candies.  There are playing cards and old figurines of Super Mario and other fictional characters famous since we were kids.



5. Send a postcard
The store will send the postcard after 100 days to the written address. Updated:  And this is true, my sister just received the postcard I sent through Ms. Lee (in less than 30 days).


6. Following the footsteps of Oppa and Unnie
Experience K-variety filming location of We Got Married Season 2 Ep 5: Seohyun and Yonghwa



The couple ate memorial assorted box.  Yonghwa ordered omija tea for her and Seohyun ordered ice jujube latte him.  They also wrote wishes for each other and hanged it on the wishing tree.

Also, the branch in Insadong is located in 2F. As you go along the stairs, you'll see a lot or posters and autograph from other actors and television shows that featured this restaurant.




Experience
Food: dosirak or Byeoldabang's memorial assorted box
Personal Preference: 9 out of 10, you can choose from snacks to lunch meals, menu (with English) has variety of drinks and teas.  This place will bring you back to old student's pack meals.
