Passion 5 (Seoul, SOUTH KOREA) ★★★★☆

Hidden gems are everywhere in Seoul. If you look close enough, you will find one - especially when you are in places like Itaewon or Sinsa.

After our lunch at Harmonium, we were strolling towards Hangangjin where suddenly we spotted a hidden gem called Passion 5.

Passion 5 combines five different types of dining experience all under one single roof - bakery, patisserie, chocolate, gelato and café. It's a place you could easily spend an hour or two.



The "Patisserie" section was fairly comprehensive. Expect a little lineup but I can tell you, it's well worth it.




They have a special chocolate room obviously because of the different temperature requirement. You can find some interesting flavors of macarons here as well. More on that later on.



Who won't like a little gelato, raise your hand please?



If there's one thing they could improve on, it's the seating. Very limited number of tables and sofas.



I got this snow white apple cake from the patisserie section and it was amazing.




Also got myself some yuzu, tiramisu, apricot and fig flavored macarons. The yuzu was THE best hands down.




So what's your 5 passions in life? For me, it's eat, travel, eat, travel and eat.
