Why visit: Dream house for Hello Kitty lovers
Recommended time to spend: 2 hours
Nearest train station: Sinchon station {Line 2}
The problem with being trigger-happy is that at the end of just a one-week trip, you end up with so many photos that you have a hard time choosing which to post! Being the Hello Kitty fan that I am, I thought I would start my travel series for Korea 2012 with our happy visit to the Hello Kitty Cafe in Sinchon :)
The last time I've been to a Hello Kitty themed anything was to Puroland, Tokyo. I went there 3 times and even though it is a relatively small theme park in Japan, it was pure heaven :) Hello Kitty Cafe Sinchon is still heaven, but even smaller hahah.
It really is designed to look like Hello Kitty's wooden house with 2 levels of sitting areas, and an outdoor al fresco balcony on the second floor. Perfect during the cool weather! We ordered iced cafe lattes, strawberry yogurt waffle and the chocolate mousse cake. The mousse cake was very smooth and chocolatey, and the rest were delicious too. Here's a tip, if you order the beverages and want the Hello Kitty face/bow designs in the drinks, remember to not order whip cream.
To be honest, I own a lot of Hello Kitty bakeware, stencils and crockery so technically speaking, I could make these kawaii food creations at home too ;p But of course, the atmosphere is different! Unless, I get to have my own Hello Kitty room in the future heh #dreambig
Hello Kitty Cafe Sinchon also sells Hello Kitty merchandise and memorabilia from the cafe. I bought back a pair of mugs as a little memory to share with my hubby, who couldn't come with us on this trip. There is another Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae {nearest station is Hongdik University} which I plan to go with him for our next trip back to Seoul :)

Nice post - I love Hello Kitty! They don't have anything like that here though.
oomph: they are! hope it's still open in your area :)
Narda: yay! happy to meet another Hello Kitty lover haha
HK! When I step foot in this cafe I know I'm gonna have a hard time leaving. I will probably have to be thrown out of the cafe after the doors closed. lol!
My girls would DIE if they had a Hello Kitty cafe to visit. They'd probably ask to move in permanently lol!
Ai, I love it. Can't believe I miss out on this the last time I was in Seoul. *bummed*
So cute! Hello Kitty anything is just awesome. =D
Omg...I wish we had something like that around where I live!! So neat :)
