Hey guys!
How's it goin? I havr a quick question and any leads would be appreciated.

I'm looking for Belgian chocolate in Seoul, as I'm a big fan of Belgian chocolate.

Does anyone know of where I could find some in Seoul?

Is there a store?

Thank you!

My friend just went to Belgium.

I should ask her to mail me the sweets...

Then I could have Belgian chocolate in Seoul!

The cost of sending chocolate is prohibitive.

The essence of Belgian chocolate lies the execution of it, and could technically be easily replicated in Korea, but like other specialties, certain details are hard to find.

What exactly is Belgian chocolate to you?

I've never seen Belgian chocolate in Korea, but Jubilee is pretty good: there are two shops in Yeouido, one a few buildings down from the HP headquarters at Yeouido station on the first floor (I don't know where the other one is exactly). Let me know if you want better specifics and I'll post them.

The best one I have found is Leonidas in Myeongdong. It is very close to the myeongdong cathedral. They are very expensive but very good.

Isn't Godiva in Seoul?

The only place I have seen Godiva is at Jeju airport's duty free shop. If you know another place, please tell me. Thanks...

Pretty sure I've seen Godiva in Apgujeong... but I am probably wrong. I buy Godiva in Hong Kong.

Godiva is good quality, but it has too much of a mass-produced taste to it for my liking. I'll try this place is Myeongdong. By the way, wasn't that the name of Butler's character in the movie 300?

Godiva? That's like American discount store. I used to find that stuff in TJ Maxx.

I like Godiva, but I know it's not the best, but options are limited here, any more suggestions on the good stuff? I'll try Myeong-dong too!
