🇰🇷 Namdaemun Market, Seoul "Cheongju Trading Company" ⁡ ⁡ 🐔When I go there in the morning, they're roasting seaweed. When I look at it, they say, "Yes, please," and let me try a sample. ⁡ It's the same everywhere, right? But when I first tried it, it was so fragrant and salty, and completely different from the nori I always bought randomly🤤✨✨ Since then, it has become my favorite, and recently I've been buying a lot here and taking it home🤭 ⁡ ⁡ One bag is ₩2000, and three bags are ₩5000 I'm always wondering how many to buy🤔 ⁡ It's really, really delicious🥹💕 ⁡ ⁡ Actually, I gave them out quite a lot, but everyone was really happy with them If you're a housewife, you can praise it even more✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨ ⁡ ⁡ The motto is "disappearing," so you can eat the amount quickly. Nori is popular with everyone, and it's also reasonably priced. It's also light, which is an appealing point. (It's a bit bulky though 🥲) ⁡ ⁡ It says it will last for 1 month if refrigerated, or 1 year if frozen. Of course, stock up on it and use it at home 😋 ⁡ ⁡ They also sell sesame seeds by weight and sesame oil. I didn't buy it because of the weight, but I'd like to buy it someday 🥹 ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ 📍It's located to the left of a shop called "효자손왕만두" that sells mandu and gwabaegi in Namdaemun Market. You'll probably understand if you go there (lol) ⁡ If you don't know, ask the red guide~♥️ ⁡ ⁡ ※The seaweed has a desiccant in the bag, but it's not a sealed bag, it's in a transparent OPP bag with tape, so I just put it in a Ziploc as soon as I buy it 🙂 ⁡ ⁡ #Korea #Seoul #SeoulTrip #KoreaSoloTrip #KoreaSoloTrip #SeoulSoloTrip #KoreaLove #KoreaInfo #VisitKorea #Namdaemun #NamdaemunMarket #KoreanSouvenir #KoreanGourmet #SeoulGourmet #KoreaTrip

If you enter the narrow, secret alley, there are many Galchi-jorim restaurants. Among them, the oldest is the original restaurant, Hee-rak Galchi:) It is said that it has been featured on many TV programs as a famous restaurant and that there is a long line on weekends. If you visit on a weekday afternoon, you can eat leisurely. I ordered Galchi-jorim and Codfish Seasoned Grilled Fish, and the seasoned grilled fish tastes like Gangjeong. Galchi-jorim and two bowls of rice were a breeze! It is not a very special or great taste, but it was a simple and neat meal that made my day full! If you visit Namdaemun Market, I recommend a meal at Heerak Galchi :) #HeerakGalchi #Namdaemun #NamdaemunMarket #NamdaemunMarketRestaurant #Restaurant #SeoulRestaurant #GalchiBraised #NamdaemunRestaurant #GalchiBraisedAlley

#familytrips2024 At the famous Namdaemun Market in Seoul Korea, this 500 Won Pancake has gone viral, with lots of tourists and local alike, queueing to get their hands on this pancake. This pancake is made to order and it comes in 4 different flavours - cheese, red bean, chocolate and custard flavour. Each pancake cost 3000 Won and while the queue may take about 15 minutes, it's still worth it.

The three fillings available are vegetable, sweet seed and red bean. Each hotteok costs 1500 KRW. I like the savory fillings and the crispy skin of the hotteok. You should definitely give it a try if you visit Namdaemun. 📌 Namdaemun Vegetable Hotteok 남대문 야채 호떡 📍 12 Namdaemun-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea #cherryblossom2024 #korea #southkorea #seoul #namdaemun #market #koreanfood #hotteok #streetfood #tripblazers

#freehotelstay **Experiencing Seoul: An Unforgettable Journey** My recent trip to Seoul, Korea, left an indelible impression on me. From the moment I stepped foot in this vibrant city, I was captivated by its unique blend of tradition and modernity. Exploring the streets of Seoul was like diving headfirst into a melting pot of culture. The bustling markets, such as Namdaemun and Dongdaemun, offered an array of tantalizing street food, vibrant fashion, and quirky souvenirs. From sizzling Korean barbecue to delectable street snacks like tteokbokki and hotteok, my taste buds were constantly delighted. In the heart of the city, ancient palaces like Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung stood as stunning reminders of Korea's rich history. Walking through their grand gates and strolling amidst the meticulously landscaped gardens transported me to a bygone era of royal elegance. It was a truly awe-inspiring experience to witness the intricate architectural details and learn about the fascinating stories behind these majestic structures. Seoul's modern skyline was equally impressive. The towering skyscrapers of Gangnam and the futuristic Dongdaemun Design Plaza symbolized Korea's emergence as a global leader in technology and design. As I wandered through the trendy neighborhoods of Itaewon and Hongdae, I couldn't help but be amazed by the multitude of stylish boutiques, art galleries, and hip cafes that added to Seoul's vibrant tapestry. One of the highlights of my visit was immersing myself in the colorful world of K-pop. From exploring the lively streets of Myeongdong, adorned with giant billboards featuring my favorite idols, to attending a live concert at a massive arena, I felt the electric energy of the K-pop phenomenon pulsating through the city. It was an experience that I will forever cherish. But beyond the sights and sounds, what truly made my stay in Seoul unforgettable was the warmth and hospitality of the people. Whether it was indulging in a heartfelt conversation with locals, receiving helpful guidance and recommendations, or simply witnessing the genuine kindness that permeated every interaction, I felt a sense of belonging and acceptance in this cosmopolitan city. Seoul, with its seamless integration of past and present, exceeded my expectations in every way. It is a city that ignites the senses, stimulates the mind, and embraces diversity. Whether you are a history buff, a fashion enthusiast, a food lover, or an ardent K-pop fan, Seoul has something extraordinary to offer. If you ever have the opportunity to visit this magical city, be prepared for an adventure of a lifetime. Seoul will enchant you, surprise you, and leave an indelible mark on your heart.

#seoultrip In Korea it's BBQ time. BBQ meat, kimchi, lettuce, pink salt, mustard seeds, wasabi, meat pancakes, bimlimbap, bulgogi and all the small plates too. We went to two different BBQ restaurants in Namdaemun-Ro Gil 1, which is located next to the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. The street is fairly quiet until around 14:00, but afterwards and late into the evening it's a great spot to grab food and a beer. There is a nice balance between locals and tourists and the specials on the wall are definitely worth asking about. I'd highly recommend taking a walk down here after walking through Myeong Dong to chill out and eat too much!

#wheretogo This place is a long established Namdaemun Market’s specialty that’s unknown for foreigners but very popular among the Korean peeps. The whole setting is really like what we have seen from the Korean drama, very down to earth, traditional and not fancy. But you would be hooked once you give it a try. You can see a generous plate of sashimi on every table and that’s what they are famous for. First of all, the sashimi was plump, chewy and satisfying. The red pepper paste that served on the table is homemade. The generous side dish here is delicious. #foodie #timetotravel #seoulfun
