Celebrating My Birthday: Food, Art, and Friends!
August 19th is my birthday! π
Since it was the Liberation Day holiday from the 15th, I had a great time with family and friends.
The Lotte Mall in Jamsil is always crowded on weekends, so I made a lunch reservation in advance at <Cheese Room & Tasting Room>.
Our order included:
βοΈ Sundried Tomato Flatbread
βοΈ Honey Anchovy Arrabbiata
βοΈ Abalone Risotto in a Stone Pot
Honestly, the risotto was not great, but the other two dishes were delicious. But a can of coke was 5000 won...lol. Three dishes + three drinks came out to about 100,000 won.
Next door, at Museum 209, I visited an exhibition with friends.

Shall we go in?
Here's a greeting you see upon entering:
"'Joy' is not just a fleeting emotion, but the will and choice to discover beauty in everyday life and not let go of the light even when the world feels heavy."
Lots of canvases with this acrylic texture!
Many of the works have a strong ocean vibe.
There are also winter-themed pieces, and spring-themed ones.
After this mirror zone, it's over...
The exhibition was smaller than I expected, and there weren't many goods to buy. It's a bit pricey for 18,000 won...
Back to Lotte Mall, I got a Pochacco t-shirt from Uniqlo.
There were 155 teams waiting to make it myself~~
While looking for a cafe, we had a birthday party at Kim's Deli Market, famous for its tomato bagels.
We make candles every year, lol.
They're also famous for peach bingsu, but we gave up because they said we'd have to wait two hours due to it being sold out.
A friend recommended a croissant place.
They limit croissant sales to 5 per person, so I bought 3 croissants and a chocolate thing. It tastes like Ferrero Rocher. I should have bought two...
All four were gone the very next day, haha. The next day, I cleaned up my room, went to Unjeong Busan Restaurant, ate cake, and finished it off~~
It was so nice to have a holiday before my birthday! β½^β’ Λ β’ ΰΎΰ½²βΌ
