When You Forget to Reply
The Ugly Mug Cafe
It’s possible to fall asleep on your significant other after a long day’s work, this isn’t really your fault but yeah don’t do it. Never worry about sleeping in on important chismis with the cafe’s strong americano and cold brew.
You can also get all the deets while eating delicious food like croffles, churros, and hotdogs.

When You Haven’t Seen Each Other in a While
Sibyullee
Nothing screams forced cooperation more than manning your own Korean barbecue grill. For a cold relationship where you kind of don’t remember how to act around each other, maybe cooking up a meal together can build that chemistry back up.
Take your time with Sibyullee’s all-day unlimited barbecue and try the marinated beef bulgogi, woo samgyup, and spicy barbecue chicken!

Caution Hot!
This time it’ll literally that a cold relationship. Caution Hot serves Szechuan style noodles with 4 different heat levels. Try the classic broth, Szechuan, or the laksa!
If you and your significant other have beef with each other, maybe the burning sensation of the noodles will knock some sense into both of you. Either that or you both can bond over the suffering of Caution Hot’s ultimate burn-level spiciness.
