After visiting the palace, on Saturday, my friend and I set out to find the tea shop, Moon Bird Thinks Only of the Moon. I had found it online and had read reviews saying that it was fun and quirky. It was also really small. First, this place was a bit difficult to find even with Kakao Maps (a Korean equivalent to Google maps). We had to go down a main street, branch down a side street, branch down a side street on a side street, and eventually we ended up in the right place! The shop is very small but it is very unique. It is located in a traditional Korean hanok house. There are tons of writings and drawings on the walls from past guests. There are also many napkins that have been drawn on and put up around the shop. I actually drew my own picture on a napkin. I don't know if it will be put up or not but if it did that would be cool. Overall, it was a really chill and cute cafe. I'd love to go back a time or two before I leave! Post cafe adventure, my friend and I decided that we needed a bit more of a meal than just tea and some rice cakes. I have often heard that Coco Curry or Coco Ichibanya is a really good food chain to get Japanese curry. I really wanted to try this and there happened to be a Coco Curry really close to where the tea house was so we decided to go there for a lunch/dinner. There were several options for the protein to have with the curry. There was chicken cutlet, pork cutlet, and other kinds of proteins or even potato and other vegetables. There was also the option of changing the amount of rice to get with the curry. There was a small amount a regular amount and then larger amounts. Additionally, there were different levels of spice from 0-10. I got the pork cutlet curry with the standard amount of rice and a spice of 1. It was still pretty spicy but it was not overly spicy! I'm super happy with the choices that I made and it was delicious!! I would definitely go back to Coco Curry and try a different curry!
