Chef Meili’s in Itaewon is not well known for his desserts, but he should be. This dessert menu shows his range of skills. His Apple Strudel is the best in Seoul. My personal favorite is the Kaiser Schmarren.

The Kaiser Schmarren is a fluffy Austrian pancake that is topped with apple sauce. The apple sauce at Chef Meili’s is homemade.

Here it is. It’s a thousand times better (and healthier) than a silly waffle you often find these days in Seoul.

Oh, and have the hot chocolate at Chef Meili’s. It’s amazing.

I am experimenting with video again. I’m going to get better over time. The camera only has manual focus, so it’s a bit harder than my old camera. The good thing is that the quality is much better. This video was taken after the Seoul Eat’s Meet-up at the Wolfhound.
