South Korea...Places !...Food !

continue...

To my surprise things are relatively cheap and affordable compared to 10 years ago.


If you see this landmark, you are somewhere in Myeongdong. From street walk shopping to branded stuffs. You can also find duty free shopping in most of the departmental stores in Seoul.


When you are in Myeongdong, don't just shop, check out the street food too...

Boiled Snail

Fish Cake Skewer

Rice Cake




The street food you will tend to see lots of Squid, Ginkgo nuts, Sausages, Potatoes and Chestnuts.



Can't resist to try out one of these stalls. Only one Iron Lady mending the stall, she serves fried oyster, squid, octopus, clam, boiled snail, grilled fish, stir fry pork, chicken, gizzard,  liver, fried vegy, rice cake with hot sauce, fry noodle, grilled Ginkgo,...basically EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING ! We ordered beer, she went to the grocery shop and buy. When she is done cooking, she took a glass and drank soju with us. Wow,...PR !

Look for these stalls ! You can locate them at the back street...   





Besides shopping, some of the activities you can do when you are in Seoul, cheese making, ice cream making, learn how to do ice craving or even Kimchi.
