Maman Gâteau (Seoul, SOUTH KOREA) ★★★☆☆

Seoul as a city is never short of good cafés, especially when you are around the Sinsa-dong area.

After walking in the freezing weather for nearly 3 straight hours, we decided it's about time to sit down and grab something warm to drink. Thankfully Maman Gâteau was there when we needed it.

Maman Gâteau is a baking Studio and dessert café two in one. The 1st floor café offers free seating so first we had to find ourselves 2 seats.



Next, we had to check out the menu at the counter and order (The menu is mainly in Korean with simple English translations).



I wasn't in need of caffeine and so decided to get myself a steamed milk with hazelnut.



The house specialty, caramel bingsu (shaved ice) with warm caramel sauce is supposed to be a must here. Very interesting to see once we poured the warm caramel onto the shaved ice, it started to melt creating different textures of ice within seconds.



There was only a small selection of cakes available. We had the pumpkin pie that was just so-so.
