We are at Namdaemun market today. It is the largest and oldest open air market in all
of Korea.
We are going to show you the different kinds of foods you can buy in this alley.
That looks pretty appetizing - what do you have there? It sure does. Well, we found some
food on a stick here. They are different kind of battered food objects. If you want to take
a look. We've got what appears to be a rice cake, kind of a lobster roll and as we go
down a bit we've got sort of like a hot dog or sausage thingamajig. This is our first
snack of the day. It looks tasty - let's try it!
Okay, I'm going to have the rice one. Very classy! Nice!
Alright, you're up. What are you going to have? I'm going to take a
bite out of the hot dog, so let's see. Scarf it!
That is nice and spicy. Is it? This is really good. Yeah. You'll have to try this one too.
Sexy undies. Sexy undies. It is almost Halloween and as you can see we have a little pumpkins.
Look at what we've got up here. It's a spider!
When I first met Sam he agreed to wear one of these for Halloween. Of course I did. Oh,
yeah. How about right there. Nice and pink which is just my style.
Hotteok. Alma-eh-oh. Cheon Won EE Eh yo.
So we have got a delicious treat called Hotteok. It is a fried kind of sweet treat. Inside
it is filled with cinnamon, honey and sugary kind of goodness. You bite into it and it
is really warm. It is perfect for the fall or winter. I will take the first bite here.
Oh yeah, that is good.
We found ourselves a nice little back-alley to enjoy. To feast on the hotteok. It is delicious.
Show us how it is done. It is hot. Owe. Oh, nice the gooey-ness.
It is made of honey. It is called Malt. M A L T. Actually honey is liquid, right? With
boil this for one week and make it solid because I have to show you my performance. That is
corn flour. You make a hole like this. You stretch, stretch little by little.
This is a scuba diver.
This store right behind us sells some medicinal herbs including ginseng. In a bottle.
In here we have some interesting Korean style masks. They have various different exaggerated
faces. One of them is happy. This one not so much.
