The kids will be back to school tomorrow and we will be officially back to business. Work at home, house chores and the usual stuff. Before we plunge in, I let my husband satisfy his curiosity in this vintage shop he was eyeing for so long to visit. It was somewhere K-1st Street near Kamuning Northwest Estate and Collectibles. You may click the name to be directed to its Facebook page.
It was a house open to public and it was filled with vintage LPs, cds, casette tapes, toys, cards, comics and a little bit of home stuff like jars, salt and pepper shaker, and more. Most of the stocks are actually LPs (long playing album) but not so many toys so my husband was a little bit disappointed. Some of the toys were also too expensive. Hindi na raw sya babalik haha. He just thanked us for going with him. I decided to mention this since I know collectors might find it useful to know that there’s a place they might want to visit. How they will see the price will be up to them to decide. Sometimes, what we thought as very expensive might be deserving depending on the person who collects them.

2nd floor – stocks of comics, toys, there were also Playstation game discs, old books, game boards
Before going home, we passed by a Korean Bakery and Coffee shop named Papa Kim’s and it was along Tomas Morato beside MESA restaurant. The girls were excited to try the place just because they wanted to watch Korean MTVs. And my kids got what they wanted. The staff courteously turned on the tv where Korean boy bands were being shown.
I ordered some cream puffs with chocolate fillings, brewed coffee and creme cheesecake with red beans on top. I found the coffee too bitter for my taste and the cream puffs were not that tasty. The cheese cake was perfectly fluffy though I preferred it sweeter. Although we may not have enjoyed much what we ordered, I guess the place is still comfortable enough for a quick coffee break. They also have a good stock of Korean breads which are very similar to the breads you’ll find in Tous Le Jours. I also have yet to try their frappes and Bingsu ( Korean shaved ice dessert ) so I’m still giving this place a chance to impress me next time.
Across the street is a Korean grocery where we found popular Korean cooking ingredients, cookies, noodles and preserved meats.

Love a good vintage shopping day! Such fun. And accompanied by dessert – delish.
I wonder if the vintage store is still open. I’d love to have a look see. I’m a sucker for those things.
Ohh that cheesecake looks so delicious! I hate when I order coffee and it`s not what I expected especially after long walk with kids, need to relax a bit and coffee its just … not good!
just the look of these freshly prepare snacks make me hungry. keep up the good work
Mmm yummy, that looks absolutely delish. I would love to check that place out sometime. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
I love Korean food. When I use to love in Georgia, I would order from a place that was open until 3 in the morning. They made the best rice, sauces, and baked goods. Thank you for sharing this.
That cake looks yummy. I might drop by to see the cafe personally when I am in the area. Thanks for the tip.
It looks like my kind of place. I still love dipping into places with collections of vinyl records. So retro! I’m glad you had a good day out before regular business and school resumed!
The food at Papa Kim’s Korean Cafe looks absolutely delicious. I would love to try those creme puffs. They look so tasty.
yumm everything looks so good, looks like a really good cafe thanks fro sharing this.
Oh how fun. I love vintage and charity shops. I always stop at one if I see it when I’m traveling. And bakeries too. LOL. I always look for fresh croissants, but they are hard to come by here in the states.
Everything looks good. The grocery store across the street sounds cool too!
This looks like an amazing place to visit. It really looks like you enjoyed yourselves!
Sounds like a great place to visit. Those foods looks so yummy. Perfect place to have a perfect brunch.
That looks like such fun. The food looks so delicious, it’s making me hungry haha.
