Hello everyone
Ria's Slow Podcast
What am I drinking today?
What are you drinking?
Yes, that's right.
Beverage
I am drinking a beverage.
I bought this drink at a café.
I bought it.
Today is café
Let's talk about cafes.
Do you often go to cafes?
Do you go often?
Or do you not go there often?
Honestly, I don't go to cafes much.
It doesn't go well.
Sometimes when studying
I go to a café when I meet a friend.
But Korean people always go to a café after eating a meal.
After eating, I go to the café.
It's amazing, isn't it?
I eat a huge amount of food.
But I also go to cafes.
I go to cafes too.
I go to a café even when I'm full.
People always say this after eating a meal.
Where should we go for a café?
You speak as if it's something obvious.
After eating, of course I have to go to the café.
Naturally.
Of course I have to go.
That's the feeling.
How about in your country?
Going straight to the café after eating dinner
Is it the same in your country too?
Anyway, there are really a lot of cafes in Korea.
These are well-known café brands in Korea.
I don't often go to cafes.
But I have a drink I like the most.
This is exactly this beverage.
I don't often go to cafes, but
I sometimes miss this drink.
I think of it sometimes.
What is on top of this drink?
There is a snack on top of this drink.
I love this snack so much.
It's incredibly sweet and rich.
It's sweet and savory.
It has a slightly cereal-like feel.
This drink goes perfectly with it.
It suits you perfectly.
Definitely try it when you come to Korea.
Even though I don't often go to cafes, I really love this one.
I just said that Koreans like cafes.
There are various kinds of cafes in Korea.
There are various cafes such as ocean-view cafes, garden cafes, and cat cafes.
But there's a café I really want to tell you about today.
It's an Instagram-worthy café, for sure.
You already know Instagram, right?
These days, people like to take photos and post them on social media.
I like posting photos I've taken.
So it's a beautiful café perfect for taking pictures.
Beautiful café
Cafes are usually clean and have a nice atmosphere.
Search for "Instagrammable cafes" on the internet.
There are many articles like this when you search.
Aesthetic Instagram-worthy café perfect for photography
Is it written like this?
If you happen to like this kind of Instagram vibe
Go ahead and check it out.
There are really beautiful and trendy cafes in Korea.
But honestly, I'd rather go to a café that's more about genuine Instagram aesthetics than these kinds of cafés.
I prefer this kind of franchise café more.
Tastier and cheaper.
So, it's good.
There are also such posts on the Korean internet.
The reason I dislike Instagram-worthy cafes
Why does this person dislike Instagrammable cafes?
The price is expensive, to begin with.
It's expensive.
And there are tons of people.
There are times when you have to wait in line.
I have to wait.
It's quite uncomfortable for me.
It's uncomfortable.
Is it important to you that your photos turn out beautifully when you go to a café?
Or is it important that the price is low?
Or taste
Is taste important?
What is most important?
Actually, I can't drink coffee.
I don't drink, and I won't drink.
So at the café, I just have drinks like smoothies.
I only drink beverages.
So I can't tell whether the coffee is good or not.
I can't tell the difference.
Do you have coffee beans?
Coffee beans
Is this good coffee bean?
Honestly, I don't really know that either.
I'll tell you the reason I can't drink coffee later on.
Next time, coffee
I'll tell you a story about coffee too.
There are many delicious foods at cafes besides coffee or drinks.
There are also many delicious foods available at the café that sells my favorite beverage.
A long time ago, I ate a potato bun at this café.
In Korea, potato bread and sweet potato bread like this were extremely popular.
It really looks like a potato or sweet potato.
It was so cute and delicious that it became very popular.
The more interesting thing is
Now do you know what they sell at Korean cafes?
What should I sell?
What should I sell?
These days, they sell tteokbokki at cafes like this.
I sell tteokbokki.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
I'm Korean, but this still amazes me too.
How do I sell tteokbokki at a café?
Originally, the café sold coffee, beverages, bread, cakes, and the like.
But now they've even started selling tteokbokki.
And we also sell chicken like this.
They say they serve the chicken like this, in a cup.
They said they'd give us the chicken in a container.
I'm looking forward to what will come out of the café even more from now on.
I'm looking forward to it.
Today, while filming the podcast
I sat here and talked about the café.
Later, I'll try filming a vlog at a café.
Korean cafes are too diverse
There seem to be many cafes that should be shown.
So, please tell me about Korean cafes that you're most curious about.
Please let me know.
I'll check it for you.
I'll check it for you.
Thank you for listening to my podcast again today.

This is not coffee, but
Have a wonderful day over a cup of coffee.
