SPD4459 - Destination 18 - 【西環 Sai Wan】Seoulmate Café

近年來，韓風盛行。想去韓國但又因為種種原因暫時未能夠去韓國，今日SPD4459的同學為各位介紹一個可以暫時望梅止渴的好地方，讓各位會有一個短暫置身於韓國的時光。在店內，既可以拍攝到富有韓國特式的照片，又可以品嚐一下由韓國人店主親自研製的飲料和美食。

Recent year, Korean has become the trend of our society. SPD4459 students recommend a good place where you can have an experienced and memorable afternoon with your friends. What is it? It is SEOULMATE CAFÉ.The Seoulmate Café is a good place for those who cannot travel to Korea temporarily. In the shop, visitors can take the photos with korean-styled decorations and interior design, and taste those drinks, desserts and snacks, which are all invented by this cafe’s owner.

現在香港的天氣清涼略帶點微風，最適合來到店內的後花園。踏入後花園，恍若隔世似的，白色為主調的牆身，配上深棕色的木製傢私，再加上幾株盆栽，簡直像是踏進了韓國人家中的迷你後花園。

It is highly recommended to sit at the garden of the Seoulmate as the weather is cool and slightly windy. There are white wall, dark brown wood-made furnitures and plants. It seems to be a secret garden, where it seems to be in the garden of the Korean house.

小貼士：如果想獨自或只想與朋友分享或感受這份喜悅同體驗又或者想不想被其他人妨礙拍攝或者享受過程，盡量在十二點前到訪。

Tips: If want to share the experience and happiness with friends only, please visit the cafe before 12 noon. Visitor can have a fully experience about and take photos with the view of the Seoulmate without disturbances.
