night market
eating my way through Seoul part 1
we stayed close by to myeongdong night market which was a trap 😈 everything was pretty cheap and looked amazing 🤩 the first chicken spot was fav, followed by the black bean noodles!
Visiting the Myeongdong Night Market offers an incredible glimpse into Seoul's bustling street food culture. One thing I realized during my visits was how diverse the food options are beyond the famous fried chicken and black bean noodles. For instance, the market is also home to an array of other delicacies like pan-fried oysters and homemade fish cakes, which deliver unique local flavors that are often overshadowed by more popular dishes. When I tried the Korean fried chicken at a place called 'Best 닭강정,' I loved how crispy yet tender the chicken was, pairing beautifully with a sweet and mildly spicy glaze. Rating it an 8/10, it was a highlight of my night market experience. Meanwhile, the classic black bean noodles, or jjajangmyeon, offered a comforting and rich taste that felt like soul food after a long day of exploring. Additionally, street snacks like gimbap varieties and seafood dishes provide a well-rounded culinary adventure. The atmosphere itself is electrifying, filled with enticing aromas and bright lights, making it a must-visit spot for foodies and travelers seeking authentic Korean street food at great prices. For visitors planning a trip, I recommend coming a little hungry to try multiple stalls, and don't hesitate to explore beyond the popular spots to uncover hidden gems. The lively environment, combined with affordable prices and flavorful dishes, makes Myeongdong Night Market a top destination for anyone eager to indulge in Seoul’s vibrant nightlife and street food scene.
