Today we had a number of places to visit. We started the morning by having breakfast at Coffee Bean, which was attached to the hotel.
Our first stop was Starfield Library. It’s a famous photo spot for tourists. It’s not exactly a library. COEX Mall designed it as an attraction where you can sit and read any of the books.
A few years ago, back in 2017, I stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel next to the mall (link). The location is definitely convenient.
From Starfield Library, we walked to Sea Life. We took the kids for a quick tour of the acquarium.
The acquarium was a fun tour. We saw many interesting animals.
For lunch, Jordan took us to Eid Restaurant in Itaewon. It was a famous restaurant among Malaysians. There were a number of halal restaurants in Itaewon, but this one stands out.
The bimbimbap was really tasty.
After lunch, we visited Banul Story, a knitting shop with a cafe. I was intrigued seeing people knitting in silence while enjoy their coffee.
In the evening, we went to Myeongdong again to explore other parts of the street food.
I bought food from a few stalls, including the famous friend chicken from Star Chicken and some Korean snacks. It was really tasty.
