street food and markets.

South Korea has an immense range of food stalls and markets home to traditional must try foods. One of which being Korean red bean flavoured foods, a delicacy of South Korea and an acquired taste in my opinion. While it is mainly found in pastries it can also be found in a dish called Patjuk which is a local delicacy, consisting of red bean paste and sticky rice.

I would specifically recommend Nampo-Dong to explore and get a taste for the foods of South Korea. It is an outside market particularly popular with the younger generation in Korea. It offers a vast variety of traditional foods, such as Korean BBQ and Kibap to try. There are shops for souvenirs, or you can start your very own Korean wardrobe. However you can also visit more traditional markets in different areas selling all kinds of bits and bobs. From light fittings and electrical appliances to modern mainstream fashion shops, Millak market has it all. If you are there at the right time you may even catch the famous drone show over the bay of Gwangalli beach. The drone show is really a sight to behold, however I would plan ahead as it gets quite busy on the beach. There are lovely cafes with perfect views of the bay I would recommend getting a seat at
