The brand Innisfree is one of popular Korean skincare. Nowadays, this brand has become worldwide since it has open many branches of Innisfree Store around the world including Malaysia. Now, the Innisfree is not only selling the skincare products and cosmetics but they also open the café too at the Innisfree Myeongdong Flagship Store as called as Innisfree Green Café. 

This Innisfree building has four level floors; which are 1st floor – Green Cosmetics, 2nd and 3rd floor – Green café, and the 4th floor is Free Luggage Storage. In this building not have provided the lift, just only have stairs. The operation hours are from 09:00 am until 23:00 pm. The first floor is the actual shop of Innisfree. 

The good news for tourist, now you can get the Immediate Tax Refund by deducts the actual price from the tax so you just need to pay the price after Tax Refund. If I not mistaken, the total cost has must more than KRW 30,000 (RM 114.00) in the single receipt to entitle gets the Immediate Tax Refund. So you don't need to claim the Tax Refund at the airport. Most the stores in Myeongdong offer the Immediate Tax Refund to the tourist. I love this new concept so much. It's because I can more shopping before I'm going back home.

The concept of this store is looking simple, eco-green, and minimal. I like this store concept; even it's great for the Instagram photos. The atmosphere is relaxation in this café. Sometimes, I feel like in the library. I do not really remember what's I have been ordered in this café; maybe I order the Jeju Sea Lemonade (cold) (KRW 6,000 – RM 22.80) and Original Tiramisu (KRW 7,500 – RM 28.50). 

If I do not mistake because it's based on the photo I have taken on that day. Actually, the taste of Jeju Sea Lemonade (cold) is plain (no sugar) with sparkling water but it can cover by the Original Tiramisu. This tiramisu is quite sweet. It's the good combination for me.

On my post, I was the story about the StyleNanda Pink Hotel Myeongdong Flagship Store. I think it's not feeling complete when I do not story about the Pink Pool Café. This café is located in the same building of the StyleNanda Pink Hotel Myeongdong Flagship Store – just on 5th Floor (Pool) and 6th Floor (Rooftop). 

Look like the name, this café on the 5th floor has catchy pool concept while on the 6th floor is open air pool concept, that you can get the most chillax vibes by sitting on the pink bed accompanied by the chill and hip music playlist. 

The order counter is located on the 5th floor and one person has to order at least one drink in order to sit in the café area include at the 6th floor too. The menu on the counter, if you have a hard time to choose the drink – in front of the cashier, they provide an iPad to show the picture of all the menu for making it easy to choose. 

I think the most popular drink in this café is the drink with the cotton candy; which am I choose to drink a Cotton Candy Green Tea (hot). The price is around KRW 9,000 (RM 34.20). Maybe the price is quite expensive but the taste is delicious too. It's okay to spend a little bit at this place since I'm going this café.

StyleNanda has opened the new unique concept flagship store at Myeongdong, Seoul – the most attractive place for tourist when traveling to Seoul. This store is called as StyleNanda Pink Hotel. 

Don't misunderstand by the name; StyleNanda Pink Hotel is not a hotel. But it's the cosmetics and fashion store with the hotel-themed concept of the decoration. On the same building, they also have a café as called as a Pink Pool Café. The operation hours are from 11:00 am until 23:00 pm. 

It's opened since October 2016; this store consists of seven floors, which are B1F – Storage (Staff Only), 1F – Lobby (Cosmetic 3CE), 2F – Spa (Cosmetic 3CE), 3F – Room (Accessories & Apparel), 4F – Laundry (Apparel), 5F – Pool (Café & Apparel), and 6F – Rooftop (Café). It's also providing the lift and stairs but only the 6th floor, you need take stairs to going there. 

Something in this store was making me feel so impressed. I saw the bathtub with full of real pink flowers and the bed hanging out in the lobby, but you can see close on the 2nd floor – Spa. It looks so extra to me. Who will do that? It's so beautiful.

I'm sure most of YG Fans know about this place and also wish to visit this place when traveling to Seoul for who not yet visit the place. As you know, YG Entertainment has opened a new restaurant complex at Myeongdong, Seoul; it's called as YG Republique. 

It has three sections; which are 3 Birds Coffee and Kitchen Café, K-Pub, and Samgeori Butcher's 삼거리 푸줏간 (Korean BBQ). It also has a different operation hours of three sections; which are 3 Birds Coffee and Kitchen Café (10:00 am – 11:00 pm); K-Pub (11:00 am – 01:00 am on next day); and Samgeori Butcher's 삼거리 푸줏간 (11:00 am – 11:00 pm).

Since I visit this place in the morning, so I decide to take breakfast at the 3 Birds Coffee and Kitchen Café. I ordered the Egg Salad Sandwich (KRW 5,000 – RM 19.00) & Caramel Macchiato (KRW 5,500 – RM 20.90). 

There has a small corner of YG Entertainment's merchandises as called as ALL THE YG for YG fans buy some things from their favorites YG artists. There are created a hip Seoul atmosphere with songs by the YG artists blasting in the background and music videos playing all over the screens. 

Everything in this place is like a heaven for YG Fans, because every corner has a lot of YG artist photos. It's great to take some photos with it. A little advice just brings a more money when you are planning to visit this place. It's because you will sure go to visit the YG merchandise's corner. I think you'll feel want to buy something on there.

Not to be surprised that nowadays, YG Entertainment was opened many branches of YG Republique around Asia; included Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For more information, just visit the YG Republicque Malaysia.
