Spread Some Awesome

About a month ago, I was experiencing the thrills and chills (literally!) of winter in Seoul. On the onset of December 2012, I spent five days gallivanting the slippery and snow-covered streets of South Korea. With the ice-cold frost all over and the shivering breeze, it’s difficult to walk an entire block without getting a cup of something warm. Maybe that is the reason why there seems to be a wealth of coffee shops in Seoul.

One that I have tried is Caffé Bene. With the knowledge that it recently opened a branch in the Philippines, trying it out in its mother country is like making a courtesy call on a cup of frappe.

Big Breakfast in Mcdo South Korea

Being in Korea did not prevent me from having my favorite breakfast meal from McDonald’s. I got the Big Breakfast (Korean style, boom!) and the only thing missing is the cup of rice I usually have when I order it in the Philippines. In exchange for the rice, two pieces of English muffin are there. Aw, and their Big Breakfast automatically comes with a hashbrown. And they offer the meal with Minute Maid juice drink so I got that. I just had Big Breakfast recently here in the Philippines and I have known that they already have the same set here. I guess McDonald’s is trying to standardize the meal.
