Your Dosirak Korean Lunchboxes At Misslee Cafe (별다방 미스리)
I stumbled upon this cute looking cafe along Myeongdong area while my friends and I were looking for lunch. Not knowing that it's so super famous in advanced, we went in and was pleasantly surprised!
Think Dosirak aka lunchboxes, repackaged.
Much love ♥♥
From the entrance in, there is no reception or staff and only a flight of stairs leading up to the 2nd floor where the dining area is.
Upon entering, photographs of many celebrities lined the wall.
Amongst them....MBC "We got married" Seo Hyun from SNSD and Yong Hwa from CN Blue. One episode was filmed here and I guessed that's why the cafe became so famous thereafter.
SNSD's Yoona was there to film an interview for a program as well.
Handwritten note and signature from Yoona herself...
Okay... let's take a look at the interior!!!
Upon stepping in I was like 'WOW'!!! so pretty~~
Handwritten messages lined the place at every corner. It's such a sweet place really!
Love notes or what not, write what you want and stick it there!
Now let's go for the food~~ Misslee Cafe is a self-service place, so don't expect anyone to take orders from you. However there is a cute menu on the table, look through it then proceed to the cashier counter to place your orders.
English written signboard at the counter was available so you can placed your orders.
When the food is ready pick them up yourself at the "Pick Up" point.
The Food
Of course a MUST-TRY is their 추억의도시락 aka Lunch Box from yesteryears. Something I have always wanted to try!
Ta-da! On opening, Kimchi, fried egg, seaweed, beef/chicken, sausages and comes with a bowl of gravy.
DELICIOUS !!!!!
To eat it, you are supposed to cover the lid and shake the box super hard.... *shake* *shake* *shake*
And thereafter, this mess comes up, but it was super delicious, no doubt.
Drinks were quite normal, we ordered some latte, cappuccino..
Let's look at the surroundings!!! every part of the cafe is so warm and fuzzy....
A little corner to sell their store's souvenirs.
I don't know why there are christmas decorations when it's summer but... haha
Moving up to the 3rd level....! You can choose to carry your meals up as well... 3rd level is even prettier with long windows and sunlight filtering in....
Close-up of the 'Message Tree'... lovely!!!!
Perhaps we went dining at off-peak hours and there wasn't much of a crowd.
Every corner was extremely cheerful, colourful and pretty. Won't your mood just turn better when dining at such a place? Mine certainly did.
My handwritten message... I wonder if it's still there.... ahaha
Drop by to this wonderful cafe soon! Good atmosphere, delicious food, affordable price it's everything you can ask for in Seoul, Korea.... GO GO GO! Highly recommended~~~
