Nikujeon Shokudo is a popular restaurant that you should definitely visit if you go to Korea. If you have the time, you might find a staff member who can speak Japanese. The staff was very kind and it was a great restaurant. The recommended dish is the light lean meat, a popular menu that you can eat up in no time. And for the final course, we had rice with lots of burnt meat! It was so delicious and filling that I thought the person who came up with the idea of ​​cooking it on a hot plate must be a genius!

⭐️ Location 54 Imun-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul At Hoegiwanggalbitang, a famous restaurant located between Kyunghee University and Hoegi Station, you can eat a generous amount of Arongsae Galbitang and Special King Galbitang. The generous amount of galbitang is good value for money, and since you can eat a full meal with unlimited refills of rice and side dishes, it was really great for a famous restaurant near the university. Every day, 120 kilograms of ribs are washed and blood is removed for 12 hours Boiled for 1 hour with various ingredients Removing oil and massaging, and preparing the meat for 6 hours Adding various healthy ingredients and seasonings and boiling for another 1 hour and 30 minutes I felt that I could eat even more delicious meat because it was a galbitang that could be eaten by removing oil and controlling the heat in between.

A cafe with delicious brunch I visited Left Coffee located in front of Hoegi Station. It is a cafe with a great atmosphere, with two floors, the first and second floors, and as soon as I entered the cafe, the smell of coffee and delicious brunch filled the air. Since there was also quiet music playing, it seemed like a great place to study, as it is a cafe in front of a university. The brunch🥗 was especially delicious, and the caramel coffee☕️ was also delicious, so it was a perfect combination👍👍 📌Location 164 Hoegi-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 1st floor Left Coffee

📌Seoul Folk Flea Market 📌Residential goods, antique market, traditional market 📌Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Cheonho-daero 4-gil 21 Seoul Folk Flea Market All the antiques in the world are gathered here! Seoul Folk Flea Market, which has everything except what is not there, is recommended as an indoor date spot in the winter! It is divided into the 1st and 2nd floors, so it is fun to look around in various ways. Since it was also featured on the Running Man program, it would be fun to find places visited by celebrities. Recently, the Youth First Street area was newly established on one side of the 2nd floor of Seoul Folk Flea Market, and it was attractive that it recreated the appearance of an old village! It felt like visiting a traditional theme park in Korea. How about visiting Seoul Folk Flea Market and getting some good deals this weekend? #WinterTravel #IndoorDate

This time when I went to Seoul, I found a few new restaurants to try. Donghai Seafood Hotpot is one of them, and seafood is considered a must-eat when visiting Korea. It is only about a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Dongdaemun Station. The location is very convenient. After we sit down in the restaurant, the boss will first give us a bowl of seafood porridge. The porridge looks ordinary, but it tastes super fresh and sweet. Next, the main dish, seafood pot, comes on stage. There are many kinds of seafood, and the soup base is not too spicy. I think the most delicious one must be the octopus 🐙, and the crabs are also good. The seafood hotpot is great for taking photos, so those who like taking photos and playing cards should not miss it. #KoreanFood #DonghaiSeafoodPot #koreanfood #DongdaemunFood

>>8-8 Hoegi-ro 21-gil, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul<< Located on a quiet side road away from the busy bar streets, a quiet and peaceful cafe *Bent* Thanks to the high ceiling and large windows, the store is not very large, but it feels open and not stuffy The egg tart (4.0) with a filling that is full of filling and soft on the inside is also an attractive place with the pistachio schpanner :) ✔️No holidays #CafeRecommendation #Hoegi #HoegiCafe #EggTart #Dongdaemun-gu #HoegiDongCafe #EggTartRestaurant

#韩国景点#Overseas Travel Dongdaemun-egg drop is a high-quality chain breakfast shop. No need to question whether it tastes good or not, just sit down and enjoy it slowly, it’s already very chill. Avocado egg toast.

There are more and more unmanned stores in Korea, including ice cream shops, convenience stores, sandwich shops, and pet supply stores. This time, we will introduce an unmanned meal kit store. Although there are many convenience stores in Korea, there are few types of bento boxes, and the taste is still in the process of being researched. Marts usually close around 22:00-23:00, and large marts in Seoul are closed twice a month on Sundays. Therefore, this store is convenient when you want something late at night and the large mart is closed. It is open 24 hours a day and is unmanned, so you can shop at your own pace without having to interact with other people. It seems that the main items are jjigae soup, samgyetang, gamjatang, etc. There is also a wide variety of other side dishes such as guksu, hiyashi, and meat. All of them can be easily heated up to make authentic Korean food, so we recommend them to those who want to eat something late at night or who want to buy souvenirs in a hurry 🇰🇷 📍Jiu-Gang Dongdaemun-gu ▶︎Address 42, Hwangmul-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea etc... #KoreaTrip #Korea #Overseas #OverseasTrip #AsiaTrip #KoreaOnly #KoreanFood #KoreanGourmet #GourmetTrip #CoupleTrip #GirlsTrip #Trip2022 #Seoul

Potato ribs soup Tel: 02-2238-4104 Chinese address: 201-10 Chongnin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul Korean address: 201-10 서울시 종로구 숭인동 Transportation information: Dongmyo Station Exit 3 (turn away from Exit 3) The ribs are tender and boneless, the soup is rich, and the side dishes in the ribs pot are delicious after absorbing the soup. Since it may not be busy time, the boss lady Pu Hongzi is very friendly and kind. She specially cleaned her hands and taught me, and handed me her business card in person. At first, I wanted to order a medium portion to taste it, but the boss lady said that the small portion is enough to enjoy, and she is not taking shortcuts to make money, and the staff can speak Mandarin to receive. I have tasted this "mature plum wine" a few years ago. I went to many stores in Seoul but couldn't buy it. I had to go back to the store to taste it. The plum flavor is strong but not sweet, unlike the taste bought in ordinary stores. Personally speaking, it is a good product. The store also provides other side dishes and sauces, and the bean paste tastes great. After the meal, you can enjoy free coffee from the coffee machine, and the proprietress also gives you plum tea. Both drinks are worth it. It is a store worth recommending to try! Large pot W40,000 Medium pot W35,000 Small pot W30,000 Plum wine W10,000

Come out of Exit 3 of Sinseol-dong Station in Dongdaemun District, turn left at the next intersection and go straight to the end. You will see a dumpling shop on the right within 1 minute. The shop mainly serves local people, but the dumplings are big and delicious. The price and taste are better than some big shops in Myeongdong. The shop also has noodles and pots for you to choose from.
