Ikseon House 익선주택

White walls, white furniture and fairly dim lighting give the interior a different feel from the tiled hanok alley outside. The Hong Kong-style egg waffle arrives large, piled with seasonal fruit and whipped cream; its round cells are crisp outside and soft within, and a pour of syrup sweetens it further. Chestnut tiramisu goes heavier, with dense chestnut puree and coffee-soaked layers that sit well beside an Americano. Basque cheesecake, strawberry cream cake and hongsi-pongdang, ripe persimmon over ice, round out the desserts. The lavender cafe latte carries a strong floral, herbal scent, quite unlike a regular latte.
