A Little Piece of London in Seoul: Bittersalt, a Pet-Friendly Terrace Cafe (Songridan-gil)

Aloha~ 🌺   Today, I’m introducing a hidden gem in Songridan-gil that is absolutely perfect for this warm spring weather! It’s a house-converted cafe with a massive outdoor terrace, and it’s even pet-friendly. Here is my honest review of 'Bittersalt', a cafe filled with a relaxing, European vibe~ How is everyone’s week going?

Microwave Rice Cake with Soybean Flour (전자레인지 인절미)

In my childhood, my mom was really strict about my meal.
She hardly ever gave me processed meat or burger or sweet dessert.
She even made mayonnaise and fish cake at home.
Whenever I watch food documentaries such as Food matter, Food, INC...
I think of my mom and her love and healthy recipe.

Rice cake is one of my favorite snacks.
The great thing about rice cake is its simple ingredient.
Gluten free, no oil, less sugar, no baking powder!!
My dad bought a rice cake machine from Japan during his trip since I loved rice cake.
Making rice cake was quite complicated even with the machine.
However, I'd like to introduce you an easier way to make rice cake.
Honestly, my mom's recipe is better but I believe you don't want to spend 10 hours on making this small treat.
