Eating Korean Street Food For the First Time in Seoul, South Korea

It is time for us to eat as much Korean street food as we can find in Seoul! It was hard to decide where to go to try lots of Korean food, but we chose Gwangjang Night Market and Myeongdong Night Market to get a really good variety of Korean foods in South Korea. This is the first time we are trying Korean street food, and actually the first time trying trying everything we eat in this video!
Our night started off at Gawngjang Market with fish cake soup, which we continuously refer to as just fish cakes haha. The shop selling the fish cake soup was awesome, and we were able to order tteokbokki from them as well. Tteoknbokki was like Campbell's soup met Asia, and we loved it! Then Mico tried Korean Blood Sausage and bravely fed some to me as well. In the future, it would be awesome to visit Gwangjang market with a group of friends so we could order all these foods again and share them.
The main reason we came to Gwangjang Market was to visit Chef Cho Yonsoon’s noodle and dumpling shop! This chef was features on the Netflix show "Street Food: Asia" and has become really popular as a result. Her dumplings and Kaglusu (knife-cut noodles) are famous in Seoul, and we wanted to try them out for ourselves!
Before leaving Gwangjang Market we unexpectedly tried hotteok, which we LOVED!
At Myeongdong Night Market we immediately tried Bungeoppang which was as delicious as it looked. We would have loved to try the cheese version as well as the red bean paste, but there's only so much room in our stomachs when we film food vlogs. After a little souvenier shopping for our niece, we tried the famous tornado potato. The name of this dish is so funny, but the butter honey that we topped it with was pretty good!
The last Korean street food of the day was fried coconut shrimp and crabs. Mico never noticed the flavour of coconut, but loved this dish all the same (what food doesn't this man love :p)
We absolutely loved trying as much Korean food as possible in Seoul, and hope this video convinces you to be adventurous with your food choices on your next trip! Learning about a culture through it's food is one of our favourite things about travel, and we hope this video gave you some good idea of what food to try in South Korea if you're headed there soon!

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on KZfaq, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.

I know better than to watch your food blogs hungry, but yet here I am wanting all of what you had and trying to figuring out what the heck to do for dinner 🤣. I love tteokbokki and enjoy adding the sauce to other items to get an added sweet spicy flavor. From the beginning of you both seemed adventurous to try different cultural foods, but how has your willingness to try things like the blood sausage changed since starting on your travels?

Oooooh such a good idea to put the tteokbokki sauce on other food items! I should have put it on the blood sausage to mask the flavour a bit 😂 I think when it comes to food, Mico has always been adventurous and I have tried to take a page from his book and be adventurous too. KZfaq actually really helped us to learn more about food when we visit a country because we enjoy filming/editing food videos, but that means we have to research what to eat and where to eat in order to make a god video. Filming a video about food gives us a good excuse to go places we might not go if it weren't for the video, and spend money on extra things that we might not let ourselves spend money on if we were just traveling. KZfaq has been great in that regard

For the tteokbokki they often have flat cakes pieces in the dish aswell (yours not, though the rice cakes were a bit bigger), the sauce is key and varies strongly from place to place. The balance of sweetness and spicyness is key (no spiciness is not that great), other versions exist like with cheese sauce. If you have sundae, then dip it in the sauce of the tteokbokki ❤️

I'm all hungry now lol but you're right, at least in my opinion. Myeongdong street food market is considered more expensive than traditional markets, even a heavily tourist popular one like Gwangjang. they do have yummy stuff and things that you don't see often in other places, but you definitely get to pay for it there. also it made me giggle that Nicole was okay with the blood in the blood sausage (sundae), but had to overcome the thought of it being an intestine because that's what sausages are usually made in 🤭 or maybe you don't eat sausages at all for that reason lol (and yes, I know synthetic casings are also a thing today, but still)

Please do a little more research on Korea. Gwangjang Market is a place that foreigners and Koreans should never go to as it is notorious for being overpriced. Foreigners reading this post should go to Cheongnyang Gyeongdong Market. They are friendly and give you 3 to 4 times the price for sundae or totbokki. And at least they don't scam or rip you off.

Haha I bet! We were drooling editing the video 🤤

@etatauri 3 ай бұрын

it always amuses me when people are turned off by the intestines. maybe the blood is a bit intimidating, but i'm sure everyone has had some sort of real sausage like a frank that has the same type of casing on it. maybe it just looks more real when they display it? lol. anyways enjoyed your food tour!

Yeah it's always kind interesting how different cultures respond to it when the same food is presented in different ways. I (Mico) enjoyed it though. Reminded me of other foods from back in the Philippines :)
