Agree 😅 taking care of the young one, but importantly keeping the food front and center!

Despite having been to this market many times during my visits to Korea, and having watched probably what I would speculate to be hundreds of vlogs, food documentaries, and etc., on it and the variety of foods offered, I never get bored of watching these videos and seeing people enjoy the food. Love it, Chris!!! 👏

Really digging this relaxed & delicious vibe. Looking forward to watching more, Chef Chris! 🙏

Cringing thinking the baby's head is right in the.middle of the frenzy. Hehehe😆. Great video. Made me hungry for some real knife cut Korean noodles!!!😋🥴😜🤣🤪🤦🏻‍♂️🙏🏼

Thank You for sharing your visit to Korea. I love Korea. Wished I could go back. I get to though you’re videos. Thank You so much.

The hotteok I had there was flat and not fried, the hotteok I have had where I live in, Pyeongtaek, at the street market is fried and has the sugar and pumpkin seeds, which I like but I do need to try the one your wife likes.

COULDN'T AGREE MORE the netflix ajumma noodles is not good at all so overhyped

Koreans look at you cause you are filming plus you speak English very well, lolol

Careful not to drop scalding noodles on your baby’s head.

I’ve always watched people go here and wanting to try it when i’m going to Korea. Is the ingredients muslim friendly? 🥹 i really wanna try em but not sure about the ingredients. Looks so good tho!
