    You ate most of the popular dishes at Gwangjang. I typically eat my sundae with tteokbokki, so I can dip in the sauce. Great serious in Korea.

    I use vinegar/chili fried garlic concoction in most food that I eat these days. It really does make food that much better, in your case it's noodles.😋

    8:39 that’s kimchi too. It’s called Yeolmu kimchi. There are many types of kimchi. We make kimchi with many different veggies

    Those hand made noodles were worth the flight to South Korea alone. My sort of meal especially with all the pepper.

      Yeah Korea certainly knows how to make a good noodle that’s for sure!

    I’m glad you tired Sundae. I didn’t used to like it growing up but have come to crave it as I’ve gotten older😊

      Yeah I love it. There isn’t much I don’t like but blood sausage is always a winner for me! Especially with that chilli salt

    That blood sausage reminds me of black pudding. Will you be showing us more Korean bizarre food like live octopus? 😅

      Haha I actually filmed a segment in that video saying I wouldn’t be trying that! My guilt kicked in as I just had seen My octopus teacher on Netflix. But I cut the scene. Plenty eat it in that market, it’s everywhere

    I AM A KOREAN. YOU'D BETTER VISIT ANOTHER MARKET. THIS MARKET IS TERRIBLE! I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU GO THERE! THOSE ARE RIP OFF! 😂😂
    I APOLIZE ON BEHALF OF ALL THE CRAPPY MERCHANTS OUT THERE...

    Honestly, as a South Korean, I regret that you visited Myeong-dong and Gwangjang Market.
    These two places have far more foreigners than South Koreans, And have a very bad reputation among South Koreans.
    That's why there aren't many South Koreans.
    They sell low quality food at high prices. (Because most of them are sold to foreign tourists. To get them to spend a lot of money.)
    These two places are frequently reported in the news in South Korea due to controversy over price gouging.

      Sure but I think you can find good food anywhere with the right eye for it. Touristy places or not. I think gwangjang market is okay for what it is and some stalls make it better and more honest than others. The atmosphere is cool. There’s definitely good food in places you don’t expect - but yes I do prefer more off the beaten path food for sure. There’s more of that to come in this series
