#seoultrip Food is good for the Seoul. A terrible pun seems like a good way to lead into a post about street food. Gwangjang street food stalls are in good supply, there a lots of local and traditional foods and the ladies cooking the food are welcoming and friendly. Sweet and spicy is the order of the day here, whether it's meats, vegetables, pancakes or any other of the tasty dishes. The atmosphere is good and comparatively to other markets I have been to in Asia, this is fairly clean too. The market is vast and once you've finished eating or taking pics of the colourful food, there is fresh food stalls, fabric stalls and even a second storey of little shops too.

#visitseoul It is the oldest and largest traditional market in South Korea with over 5,000 shops and stalls in the area of approximately 42,000 sqm. Offering traditional Korean goods from food to upholstery, groceries, vintage clothing, jewellery, souvenirs etc. One of the most recommended tourist attractions for Korean street food. Must try having food at one of the food stall sitting on a bench facing to the vendor and order food displayed in front of you or just point to the dish that the person next to you having. Take metro to JUNGNO 5- Gu and follow the sign.#passionpassport #celebratewithtrip #境外遊 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #kwangjangmarket #seoulfood #yuppijetrip2018 #yuppijeinseoul2018

Address: 88 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea Not gonna lie, we were there for the massively hyped knife-cut noodle (Gohyang Kalguksu) that was introduced in the Netflix series. But it fell a little flat for us as the noodle was not cooked well (still doughy) and soup wasn't seasoned to perfection. The wait was extremely long as well - 30 minutes and above. Highlight: But thanks to the Doughnut Twists (Kkwabaegi), our mood sprung right up again! So delicious and chewy, it was the right dessert to end our long day. Pricing: Watch the video to see the pricing! Rating (out of 5): Cho's Gohyang Kalguksu ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Doughnut twist: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #seoul

Gwanjang Market is an incredible place to visit. It is the oldest and largest traditional market in Korea and a wonderful place to eat Korean street food. Make sure you are hungry and try at many local dishes as possible. This market is just a stone throw away from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Dongdaemun metro station. The market opens at 8.30am and closes at 6pm and it will take you around 2hours to explore the entire market including snacking and shopping. #wecreate

Gwangjang market used to be a famous local market until a few stores here featured in Netflix! This place has became more popular recently and you will see a lot of tourists here all the time. Do take note that they are closed on Sunday! We tried a few local food here and all are awesome! Of course we can’t missed the most famous state here that featured in Netflix, the noodles and dumplings stores. There are a lot of the similar stores here but this store is easily spotted because they all wear Pink shirt! And of course you can tell by the queue as well 😁 the noodles here are really nice and springy, the soup is tasty as well! What I like the most here is the mungbean pancake, it’s so so so yummy!! It’s so crispy from the outside and soft in the inside, the raw onion dip makes it perfect! We also had teppoki and fish cake here, which I think it’s just average. I’m sure you can find somewhere nicer than this. But overall I would recommend this place, love the atmosphere here and the food options!

Come with an empty stomach! Walk through the market and snack on all the yummy foods Korea has to offer. We tried fish cakes served in a cup of warm hearty broth, fried chicken, hotteok (fried dough filled with brown sugar and nuts), the Netflix famous hand cut noodles and mandu (dumplings), live octopus, raw beef with Asian pear, gimbap filled with delicious fillings and the famous doughnuts coated in cinnamon sugar, with a waiting line of 20min - 1 hour. All absolutely worth it, and absolutely delicious! #foodie #tripblazers #seouleats #seoultravel

The highlight of this trip - Trying out 칼국수 that's featured on Netflix. It was part of my bucket list. Despite the heavy snowfall, I was so determined to try Gohyang Kalguksu. Thought I wouldn't be able to find the stall since an influencer kept whining about how hard it was to find it that she had to walk out of gwangjang market with disappointment. But to my surprise, it was actually easy to locate la! Wahlau bluff us. Anw that's not important. When we arrived the stall, there was already a queue. Mostly were foreigners and we're one of them. lol. Though the queue was long, the waiting time was fast! There's an ahjussi controlling the crowd and assigning seats to customers. So you don't have to worry about not being able to find one. I told my friend that I wanted a selfie with the Netflix star provided if I could get the seat right in front of her. The next thing I know, bam! Ahjussi put me at the "First Class" seat. Hahaha. My luck damn swee one meh??? So nice to be able to watch her stuff. She wasn't even looking when she chopped the noodles. That's how pro she is ok. Anw the soup was tasty, the noodle texture was good, great customer service, I was satisfied! 5,000KRW for a bowl. Definitely worth the queue. And yes, I got a selfie with the ahjumma! She's soooo 귀엽다! #seoul #travelog #southkorea #awesomepics #foodfeed
