    I love how accessible and authentic Mikey's videos are!! Its not about hitting every popular or well-known, Instagram-able stop or researching not-to-be-missed places, nor about exotic faraway cuisines etc. Just a regular food finding adventure including basic chains as well as convenience store foods! Among all the food UA-camrs Mikey's finds are so consistently realistic and achievable and that's what makes the videos so relatable and addictive!

We even did some foodie tour after watching mikey's videos. I look from behind thinking who he is for real quick, I answered "No way ma, he's probably in States right now.🤷" Turns out we were having a same breakfast meal🤦‍♂️ in the same lounge🤦‍♀️ at the same time.🤦 Today, me seeing mikey stopping by my favorite go-to bakery and chocolate shop in MY freakin NEIGHBORHOOD! 🤣🤣🤣 Hope you have a great time in Seoul!!

    That’s what I love about Korea, every time I visit I just walk around and walk into random places and have some of the best food I ever had. The prices are cheap too with no tip. In America, I have to look up restaurants on yelp and pay a 20-30% tip plus take a car everywhere instead of just walking.

    Mike you have to try the Oreno Ramen while you are still in the Hongdae area. They sell the most flavourful ramen using chicken-based broth. There are many ramen joints in the area but this place in my opinion is one of the few real deals. A little closer to where you look to be staying, there is a cafe called Michaya that sells delicious non-baked white cheesecake. They have been in the same location forever (at least 12-13 years since my first visit!) always selling the same tiny but tasty cake. The only caveat is their hours are dynamic and always changing. Their blog currently indicates Tuesday-to-Saturday operation but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't up-to-date information.

Anyway, she said she went to London England for a conference and was craving some fresh fluffy biscuits. (We were from South Carolina, USA). Anyway, she said she usually uses Crisco (a type of solidified vegetable oil), but couldn’t find any in London. She said the only thing that was close to what she wanted was LARD. (Usually solidified beef fat). She laughed and said they were the best biscuits she’d had in a very ling time!
