An another weekend story, along with hard snow, my small step emerged the day. Weekend, time to meet friends and eat some delicious foods and decent dessert. We gathered around 1 o'clock and take a walk together to a famous restaurant called 3 birds. 3 birds is a restaurant by YG entertainment company, one of the biggest entertainment companies in Korea, the created of Bigbang and 2NE1.
With the silver big door, once we step into the restaurant, we can experience a unique atmosphere here. Vintage yet modern and elegant, we can find the colorful bird mural on the wall which gives us the warm and fun feeling. This warm feeling combined with a cold feeling of marble-made tables.
The open counter of food and dessert, make us easier to pick the foods we want to order. No need confused because of food is displayed well and look delicious which made us want to taste everything.
Finally, after a very long discussion (everything looks delicious, we can't easily decide), we ordered Mushroom Sandwich / 머쉬룸 샌드위치, Salmon and Fennel Open Sandwich / 연어 페넬 오픈 샌드위치, and Balt Sandwich / BALT 샌드위치.
My favorite one, Salmon and Fennel Open Sandwich. For personal taste, from the 3 sandwiches I ordered, it was the best sandwich! First, because I really love Salmon! The toasted bread was perfect, on top of the bread they use a very delicious sour cream for the jam, completed with various vegetables which some of them I never eat before (FYI, I'm meat mania-not really fond with vegetables) yet blended well with the salmon and bread. And served with corn and bean salad. Nice! And perfect!
Price: 13,000 won.
The Mushroom Sandwich was... perfect! Served together with fresh salad, on top of the sandwich bread, there is the mushroom, melted cheese, and some vegetables with cheese flakes covered them all. The bread was perfect as well, well done toasted gives the crunchy texture, blend very well with the mushroom and cheese.
Price: 11,500 won.
The last one, Balt sandwich. Avocado! If you are avocado mania, you definitely order this one! Inside of the toasted bread there are veggies, pork meat, fresh avocado and sauces. I don't know what the secret recipe of the sauces, but it's actually great and made everything in blended perfect! And served with crunchy potato chips made everything completed!
Price: 9,500 won.
Actually, we had planned to move another place to get our dessert, but we've got seduced by the 3 bird's desserts. And the result, we ordered 2 kinds of look-very tempting desserts, Seasonal Pumpkin Pie / 시즈널펌킨파이 and Rhubarb & Cranberry Pie / 루바브&크랜베리파이.
Alright, let's talk about the Rhubarb and Cranberry Pie. It was fantastic, with cranberry mixed on top of the perfect baked pie, I don't how they created that very perfect taste. The cranberries feels fresh and the pie was tasty! Served with vanilla ice cream and made two of them match made from heaven!
Price: 9,000 won.
The Seasonal Pumpkin Pie, remind me with Halloween Pie, very sweet, but match well with the (once again) perfect baked pie, and blended well with vanilla ice cream.
Price: 8,500 won.
Overall, everything was perfect here. The restaurant nuances and the food were magnificent. I will give two thumbs for this restaurant. Definitely going to go there again if there is anytime!
How to get there:
3 Birds

After filling our stomachs, I and friends went to IFC mall for shopping!!!!! There's a lot sale, but I don't why there are no things I want to buy, so I just take a walk and drink my favorite Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks while watching my friend shopping. Ha-ha!
The sun goes down and I need to come back home, say see you again with my lovely friends.
Sometimes for me, Saturday is always being my reset button. Reset from every exhausted day, reset from stressful work and school, reset from lonely long day, reset from every my broken heart, reset from every person whose dismisses me, reset from every pain and hurt. We survive in a very harsh world, there are a lot pains and hurts we are going to accept, not only from the others but maybe from our self esteem.
So whoever you are, wherever you are, this is your life, when you're feeling broken and the world seems not to treat you well, you need to find a reset button. Take a Breath, push that button and give yourself a break because you're deserved to. Just remember, You try to remember that, even in the bad news, there's always a good news. There's always a rainbow after the rain. Cheers!
FOLLOW ME AND LET'S GET LOST!
