8th December 2013
Today my friend and I visited Myeong-dong to try a place called "School Food" and also to try some street food we saw the other day when we were visiting the place.
...is a food chain that offers funky fushion gimbap as well as some pretty spicy tteokbokki.
They even got fried chicken and salad, noodles and rice dishes.
The dishes are geared towards the younger crowds like teenagers and college students, but the portions are enough to fill you up.
Fresh fruit drink "Ade" (딸기코튼에이드)
It was very refreshing, almost like sparkling juice.
&
Fried Dumplings + Fried Chicken Salad
I recommend trying:
"Topokki"
...a popular Korean snack made from soft rice cake and fish cake with very red and spicy chilli sauce.
This dish also came with blood sausages on the side, I personally did not like the flavour or texture of it.
I think it was an acquired taste...
&
"Mari"
...a koran version of sushi, but try the squid ink coated rice mari (the black sushi).
The flavour is uniquely unusual but very satisfying.
It is a tad chewy from the squid filling, but the rice has a sweet flavour to it.
Once we were done, we made our way out to the streets for more food LOL
Another thing to try when in Seoul is the various snacks they sell and offer on the streets.
...deep fried seasoned potatoes spiralling on a skewer...
...fish shaped cakes...
...squid..squid...and more squid...
...fried sweet bread dumpling...
...and a variety of sausages....
We stayed at Myeong-dong till it got dark.
I was sooo full, my stomach was about to explode that day
...but I was very happy,
because of all the delicious new food of course haha...
Till next time ~ Cheers
