Profound and knowing nods in your direction, friendly alienheads!

Have you all missed me while Rara was manning the fort? Of course you have, no doubt about it. I have been admittedly busy. One of the things I was busy doing was irritating Rara by asking her meaningful questions about life, one of which was, “Would you help me hold my bag while I hold a toilet party?” (She said yes. A true friend!)

ANYWAY! I know I vaguely promised writing about this place called:

Which is responsible for this:

Such a lovely burger! The meat patty was spiced with spicy spices of glory! And it was delicious like a newborn baby. By newborn baby, I mean newborn baby cow that was brought up in nice green plains, skipping freely among the daisies and chewing freshly stomped grass under a starlit sky, until it grew up and achieved its dream of being a really good slab of steak.

Also, they have a really cool looking menu:

I am the menu. I am cool.

And if you look at the stuff in the menu, you’ll find that they have

Kopi Luwak! DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNN /ominous music

Have any one of you had the dubious pleasure of consuming this poop coffee known as Kopi Luwak? Do you know what it is? Do you want to know what it is? WELL. It is made from beans harvested from the poop of this work of art:

My best friend Wikipedia says more about this weird coffee here.

Thank you Wiki, catch you later!

Anyway, we got free Luwak coffee from the owner of the place.

What does it taste like, you ask? Well. Good question. It kept me up till 4 in the morning. It was also quite bitter, which brings me to wonder if I was really drinking the real deal. After all, Wiki did tell me, in all seriousness, that Luwak was supposed to be rather syrupy. Plus Luwak is supposed to be the most expensive coffee in the world, so offering a free cup to random customers would seem like a really non-profitable thing to do… Wait. Am I actually being disappointed by the fact that I might not have gotten to drink coffee made from something a funkyfaced cat defecated? /mental turmoil

Anyway.

Cafe Retro Mama is a magical cafe of chilli that can only be found when you need it the most. True story. What? I forgot how to get there. /small voice

Edit::
How to find Retro Mama:
Exit 1 of Hongdae station, walk away from the station along Yanghwa-ro. Turn right into Seogyo-ro, then turn left into Donggyo-ro. Walk along that road, past the car repair shops, past TIME cafe and past Buy the Way until you see Retro Mama.
