The week with the BF also has new food!! This time it’s my first brunch encounter in Seoul and some nice cheap comfort food recommendation in another post~!
Honey Bowl @ Hongdae
We were googling some nice brunch places after waking up late and found that this is one of the very few brunch places mentioned in Seoul. So we dropped by to find out if it’s really good as the reviews say!
We ordered the banana cream cheese pancakes and an eggs benedict. The pancakes were about 8,000 won if I remember correctly, and the eggs benedict was 13,000 won.
The pancakes came in first and looked like the picture above. You can imagine our disappointment, I guess, because it looked kinda effortless. Then again we knew walking into Honey Bowl that it was a no frills kinda brunch place, and they don’t really try to act all classy and stuff. But still, for 8000 won I guess we hoped for something that looks more appealing and/or a little bigger…? Haha.
Nevertheless, the pancake was delicious 🙂 A lot smallre than we had expected for the price, but the cream cheese and banana combination was fabulous!!
The eggs benedict was served a little smaller on the portion as well for its price, but tasted good 🙂 I’ve tasted better ones in Singapore though, and for a lower price, so i have to admit I wasn’t wow’ed or impressed. But that’s because I have very good comparisons that I based my judgement on~ that and Korean food is so cheap and tasty everywhere so it was hard to appreciate this brunch when I’ve been living here for so long xD
Look at how the yolk runs though… i live for runny egg yolks
How to get to Honey Bowl: Exit at Line 6 Sangsu Station exit 1, and walk along the road until you see a street you can turn right into. There will be lots of shops and small lanes don’t get too confused haha, keep walking straight and you’ll see Honey Bowl on your left.
