Jokbal – Korean pig’s feet, 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 Seoul…

Pardon me if it’s common elsewhere, but I’ve never seen cotton candy sold in a cup prior to this Korean trip; and you’re supposed to eat this with a fork? Hmmm…

Sausage wrapped in batter and French fries instead of normal bun, and it’s poked on a bamboo stick for you to hold on. Genius, only in Korea…
It’s a common street food in Seoul, most often seen at night markets; had mine at Dongdaemun area. You can’t go wrong with sausages and fries; it’s always good.

Kyochon is one of Korea’s biggest fried chicken franchise. It’s currently endorsed by pop group Super Junior, thus you can see some of their faces on the box set…
Dinner on Feb 14, octopus hotpot at a restaurant in Jongno. Most restaurants were closed because of Korean New Year; the food alley near the area was one of the very few places which were in operation.

Burmurry is a franchise in Seoul selling traditional Korean food, i.e. tteokbokki, odeng, sundae etc. There’s a branch nearby my hostel which I frequent…
I like their teokbokki. The rice cake is standard stuff, and it’s a matter of different spiciness and sweetness with the sauce, in which their version fits my taste.
The restaurant also sells fried dumplings and twigim aka batter-dipped-fried-stuff (squid, shrimp, vege etc.). It’s tempting to have some oily food once in a while lol.
