What’s up everybody?
PHILCAELA here :) And we’re at the famous Gwangjang Market here in Seoul.
This market is really famous for all kinds of different traditional Korean dishes, so
we’re really excited to try them today.
Let’s go!!
So our first stop is getting dumplings from the Netflix lady, she was actually on Street
Food and the dumplings look really good and really fresh.
It’s freezing so can’t wait to get some food in us to warm up.
Taking a bite of the famous kimchi dumplings.
Mmm!
Just finished our meal here, we loved what we ordered, we got a mix of the meat and the
kimchi dumplings and they were all super delicious, super warm.
The lady working here is an absolute sweetheart so if you’re coming to Gwangjang Market
and you’ve seen the Netflix episode, you should definitely give her a visit.
잘생겼어!
감사합니다!
So she’s most known for her dumplings but also for her knife-cut noodles, but no matter
what you order, it’s gonna be delicious so definitely recommend giving her a visit
when you’re here.
So our next stop on our list to eat here is tteokbokki, Phil’s favorite food!
Just a few meters away we sat down at this stall where we’re eating tteokbokki, which
is one of my absolute favorite Korean dishes!
Basically, rice cake in a spicy, slightly sweet sauce and it comes with some vegetables
in it and fish cake and it’s just really fun and delicious to eat.
And it’s really spicy, I just snuck one piece and my mouth is already burning up.
This is spicy here for sure.
But it’s delicious!
Mmm!
I love it.
You can get some soju to wash it down.
I don’t know how obvious it is, but it is literally freezing out here in Seoul right
now, it’s early January and this tteokbokki is really good and really spicy.
It’s the first time I’ve ever eaten anything this spicy in this temperature, so I’m sweating
so I’m getting really cold from it, but it’s also really spicy and I’m just cold,
but I wouldn’t trade it for the world, I’ve loved this and I can’t wait to see what
we eat next!
So we just migrated a couple feet over to a place to get marinated beef tartare and
this table also has heated seats so it feels really good right now.
So we’ve seen a lot of people get the marinated beef tartare here, so we gotta get it.
I love that there is the egg yolk on top so I mix that in and there’s a side of salt
and sesame oil, so I’m gonna dip the meat in the sesame oil.
Mmm!
That’s good, sesame oil with the salt is so good.
The egg yolk adds a little bit of creaminess, too.
The cold started to get to us so we decided to kind of come inside to a more indoor kind
of stall and I got here some Mayak Kimbap, which literally translates to drug kimbap
because it’s so good, it’s addictive, it’s like drugs.
So good oh my god…
So if you like kimbap at all, which I know it’s a really popular thing, you’ve gotta
try it when you come to Gwangjang Market, this is delicious!
So simple but it’s so good.
And another staple in Gwangjang Market, this is mung bean pancake, this is actually the
first restaurant that I came into the last time I came to Gwangjang Market and it was
delicious, so we’re gonna give Sunhui-Ne, that’s the name of the place, another try
for their mung bean pancakes here.
Mmm I like it!
It’s really fried, but personally I really like the texture of this crispy, hashbrown-y
outside and then having that really soft and just nice and delicious inside texture, so
on a cold day, I’m actually really appreciating this hot food right now, it’s really good
and satisfying to eat.
오뎅이 얼마예요?
오뎅…
1000원!
And we just got fish cake, which is called Odeng in Korean, funny name, huh?
But yeah it’s a broth and it’s just like on a stick, wooo!
This is hot I’m gonna eat it from the side.
Mmm!
It’s a lot less busy than it would normally be because of social distancing, but it looks
like all of the food stalls here are still in full operation, still tons of amazing delicious
options for Korean food everywhere around here.
There are also lots of shops around here, like you can see that there’s just different
shops selling all kinds of different things so it’s a fun place to visit and if you
get tired or eating or you get really full, there is other things to keep you occupied
here.
So our last food stop was actually where we started our food stop, we are at the Netflix
lady’s stop, and we’re gonna get noodles and dumplings this time, but this time we’re
gonna get it in the soup instead of just dumplings by itself.
It’s really cold so something soupy sounds really good right now.
Surprisingly it’s been hard to find soup around here, everything is just like fried
or stir-fries like tteokbokki or mung bean pancakes and everything else.
There haven’t been a lot of soupy things so I’m grateful for this, also the noodles
are super fresh, she cuts them in front of you as you order.
Literally, knife-cut noodles!
And that’s gonna do it for all the food we ate today at the Gwangjang Market, we really
loved everything we ate today.
When you’re in Seoul, if you’re looking for some delicious Korean food, you’ve gotta
check out the Gwangjang Market.
