Jokbal, Korean pig’s trotter or pork knuckle, another popular food here. Dined at the Original Jangchungdong Grandmother’s Place a couple of weeks ago – finally a restaurant that I can name in English lol – it’s one of the first jokbal restaurants at the famous Jangchungdong jokbal street in Jung-gu, Seoul.
Bibimbap, literally mixed rice, is an iconic Korean dish with white rice topped with various ingredients (vege, egg, meat etc.) and chili paste. Dolsot bibimbap is the version where the bibimbap is served in a hot stone bowl.
Had this last week at a famous restaurant in Myeong-dong. The meal cost 9000 won (~US$8); nice bibimbap and great side dishes…
Myeong-dong, arguably Seoul’s trendiest shopping district, is the place to hunt for mid-level fashion and beauty items, especially for the ladies. Visited the area on Sunday (Jan 17), it’s so crowded that there’s barely any spaces to stroll on.
Some traditional Korean food which I had since arriving in Seoul…
Tteokbokki and Odeng @ Namdaemun Market
Popular snack food; had these at a street stall in Namdaemun market. Tteokbokki are sliced rice cakes broiled in sweet-spicy sauce; while Odeng are boiled fish cakes which probably originated from Japan.
