Hey you guys I'm Seonkyoung Longest today we are in Dongdaemun again Korea's largest
fashion and shopping district, Dongdaemun
It is so busy and hectic that will be probably the first feeling you will get from here too
They're busier than new yorkers
Everybody's doing something is crazy and because of that there are so many places to feed these
extremely busy people in Dongdaemun
I think we're in his way
oh, we are, okay, let's go
We picked a little spot, to not to be on other people's way, and we just became that way it's there's so many street food here
I cannot resist to
Actually have some Oh. Oh what's there what's there what's there? There's cheese corn dog cheese corn dog? I wanna taste it first
This is cheese corn dog. I think it's filled with only cheese. You can see the cheese is coming out from here
It would be like extremely hot
What makes a korean-style
Corndog really stand out from others first that would coat with the panko breadcrumbs like super crunchy outside
And then deep-fry and when it's hot we're rolling into sugar
I know it sounds really strange, but that is that's what it makes like really really special is that?
salty and the sweet that combination together
That's what makes it outstanding
Delicious though
Kind of reminds me like the same idea is like a doughnut burger like we're using a doughnut for like the doughnut chicken sandwich
We have the savory, but the sweet one. I'm about to kill her though
I never I never taste these food before and we are in a very dangerous part to
film these street food today
because of millions and millions of little bicycles
Not bicycle, what do you call?
Motorcycle!
and the cars its ridiculous that makes my street food actually taste more authentic
Actually, but there's a cabbage cheese and the egg in between like a little sweet Asian style pancake
So there's the cabbage, cheese and egg in between like a little sweet asian style pancake
And they have this a white onion sauce I think she put another like a chili sauce
And some katsuoboshi the dried smoked fish right on top
It taste like kinda in between a
takoyaki an okonomiyaki
Actually quite filling too because all the eggs and the pancake altogether is perfect brunch
Of course we have to eat Eomuk gocchi
Fish cake on a stick just grab one and drizzle some soy sauce
they will charge you when you are done by counting the sticks. So make sure you keep those sticks, okay?
Its so soft the fish cake
Its so soft its almost like pancake
Okay, I'm finally ready to eat my real lunch real lunch
the grilled fish meal
When I was young my dad used to take me to Dongdaemun for my wholesale comic-book shopping
Some of you probably know I was a comic book artist and I used to buy comic books in bulk yeah
I was kind of a geek so I always buy comic books wholesale and yes
I bought a bunch of comic books this day as well one piece to be exact
But that's totally out of this subject so anyways go back to the restaurant
This is the exact place, when I was in
High school my dad took me to this in the Dongdaemun to buy some books
And this alley is right next to the book stores. This is where we ate lunch we ordered
Galchi, this is like silver belt fish and Godeungeo it's mackerel and this is Ggongchi, same family as mackerel
But it's a lot skinnier
Really good Are you going to teach me how to eat all that?
They're all coming in with the bones, so you need to know your game with your chopstick, you know what i mean
So in here you have to order one type of fish
And they will give you with rice

She've been doing this for like a century a
Really long time like really long time. She's the real master
