Seoul Street Food at Gwangjang Market

Seoul's Gwangjang Market is one of the best places in the city to sample a few of the best Korean stet food dishes. In this video I head to the market to take a walk around and explore a few delicious eats.

After walking around I sat down at a stall serving a variety of different tasty delights.

The first thing I eat is called tteokbokki which is rice cakes simmered in a thick red chili curry sauce. The dish is one of the most popular Korean street food staples.

The rice cakes were 3,000 Korean Won which is a little less than about $3.

The next thing I sample is small rolls of gimbap which is the equivalent of Korean style sushi rolls - rice and a few small pickled vegetables wrapped in seaweed.

The gimbap cost 3,000 Won.

The next thing is called Sundae which is Korean blood sausage. It was mixed with sticky rice and steamed in a strange outer shell and then slice on my plate. The sausage was really quite delicious. The Gwangjang market is full of great stalls serving Korean blood sausage.

One place of sundae cost 6,000 Won.

After walking around a bit more, I finally tried a fried bean pancake type of thing. Dipped in the sauce and eaten along with kimchi it was excellent.

If you ever visit Seoul, South Korea, you must head to the Gwangjang Market for tasty street food!

Thanks Sam, I think it was my favorite place in Seoul, loved the food there. Enjoy, and have a good hike too... that is if you don't eat too much and need to cancel the hike and take a nap instead!

[MarkWiens]

Yes, awesome to hear that you also love South Korea. I remember that comment, and I just happen to get my flight via Seoul so stopped by for a bit to eat! I agree with you, Korean food is fantastic!

You should definitely get your own show on Travel TV. This is the real deal!

I think I was there right around lunchtime and it was perfect.

Yes, I just had the ice noodle soup a few days ago - it was interesting, but really delicious. Korea is a great place to teach!

[MarkWiens]

Hey Piku, haa, thanks a lot for watching and hope you have an awesome upcoming trip filled with lots of delicious Korean food!

[MarkWiens]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestion! Would you be more interested in the cost of each dish? or in the cost of making the whole video and all that I ate? Thanks for the tip and will definitely start to incorporate more useful information like that into my videos.

[MarkWiens]

Yes, I hope to visit more in the future!

Wah, With every Korean Street Food video I watch, the more I want to go to Korea just to eat those foods.

I'm such a picky eater, but I feel like when it comes to Korean food, it looks so delicious that it wouldn't even matter.

Are you an English teacher there?

[MarkWiens]

Haha, glad to hear that, and thanks for watching!

I LOVE Gwang jang marked! I have gone there each of my 4 Seoul trips. I just have to! So much good food. And i will never forget the nice lady, selling kimchi mandu, who thaught me how to use the chopsticks.. lol :P
I brought my norwegian friends there on my 3. trip, they took one look/sniff, and was like HELL NO! And left :( That was sad. That they dident even try anything. I also found it "scary" my first time. But also oh so exiting! I lived right across the street for 1 week. And i ate breakfast there, and before going to bed, all thoose days <3 ^^

[MarkWiens]

Thanks for watching, I'm sure anything home-cooked is almost always the best!

[MarkWiens]

Hey, it's definitely worth it to visit Korea just to eat everything! No, I'm not an English teach but visited for about 1 month. It was a great trip and most of the time I just found myself eating awesome food. Hope you can visit soon!

[MarkWiens]
