SOLO in SEOUL's Most Popular Place 🇰🇷 (South Korea)
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - I look for the best Korean food on a budget and manage to find delicious and cheap Korean street food in Insadong. You might think Insadong food won't be good because it is a touristy area and expensive, but you will be surprised. Cheap korean food does exist and here are some of the best Seoul cheap eats.
I visit the traditional Bukchon Hanok Village and relax, driking tea in a Seoul tea house, this video is filled with my first impressions of Seoul, South Korea's capital city. Don't miss out on these must-see sights and the best food in Seoul!
The Bukchon Hanok Village, situated in Seoul, South Korea, serves as a significant cultural and historical site, featuring traditional Korean hanok houses that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. This area offers a unique view into the architectural and communal living practices of historical Korea, making it an important tourist attraction for visitors and one you must add to your Seoul itinerary especially if you are visiting other major historical sites like Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces.
South Korea has some amazing noodle dishes but in this video I find a cheap eat in Seoul and try jajangmyeon for the first time. Jajangmyeon is a popular Korean dish with roots in Chinese cuisine, specifically from the Chinese dish zhajiangmian. It consists of thick, chewy noodles topped with a hearty, savory sauce made from black bean paste (chunjang), diced pork (or sometimes seafood), and vegetables such as onions, zucchini, and potatoes. The sauce is fried and simmered to develop a deep, rich flavor before being poured over the noodles. This dish is a staple in Korean Chinese cuisine and is widely loved for its comforting, umami-rich taste.
Seoul's tea houses are not just about enjoying a cup of tea; they provide a holistic experience that encompasses the appreciation of Korean tradition, culture, and the art of tea drinking. Many of the teas you can try are medicinal, so I tried Ssanghwa tea for stress relief. Many tea houses also offer traditional Korean snacks and desserts that complement the tea flavors, such as rice cakes (tteok).
Finally, I wanted to show you a cheap place for Korean food if you are visiting Seoul on a budget. This restaurant is perfect because you can get a set meal or lunchbox for just 15,000 won.
I hope you enjoy my First impressions of South Korea Vlog, let's eat some Korean cuisine.

Absolutely loved the Shin Tea House. The sort of place to sit and do nothing for a couple of hours while it's raining.

자장면은 한국인에게 김밥과 함께 어릴적 추억이 깃든 음식이죠. 지금은 조금 다르지만 지금처럼 외식이 흔하지 않던 시절에 자장면은 졸업식 등 특별한 날에 부모님과 함께먹던 음식으로, 김밥은 학교 소풍날에 엄마가 이른 아침부터 직접 만들어준 김밥도시락으로요.

ooo good question! I liked Gukbap a lot, but let's be honest... bbq is amazing! Maybe my favourite meal will be in the video from Busan Fish Market next Wednesday
Those are fish cakes, I think, not tofu in the lunchbox.

한국에서 김밥집이나 한솥도시락가게에서 더 싸게 먹을 수 있어요. 한솥도시락은 먹을 공간이 좁아서 보통 테이크 아웃하지요.

Hi Joe. Do you have any idea if there are Asian egg noodles that are naturally gluten free? I recently found out that I’m gluten intolerant so everything with wheat, rye, spelt, barley or kamut is a NO GO… like you say in the video I also love rice noodles but there’s something so comforting about good egg noodles… So far I haven’t found any info online but maybe that’s because I don’t use the correct words in my search 🤦♀️ I think I should try Korean flavours though it looks so deliciously scrumptious 😋

unfortunately, I am afraid not! I guess is you are only gluten intolerant and not coeliac then you could from time to time have egg noodles and just know the effects will come for a day or so with it. but definitely not if you are coeliac.

@@hungrytoexplore luckily I do have some pills that help breakdown gluten (on doctors advice) but they’re really expensive so I guess egg noodles will become a special treat from time to time 😅 oh well, I managed to make my own gluten free linguine last week, maybe with some experimenting in the kitchen I might find the secret on how to mimic Asian style egg noodles but with a gluten free flour alternative who knows 😁 and a huge thank you for replying so quickly, it really means the world to me 🥰
Most young and middle-aged South Koreans have no experience drinking 'Ssanghwa-tea'. (A familiar drink for people over 70) There are actually residents living in Bukchon Hanok Village, but as it becomes famous as a tourist destination, residents are suffering from noise problems. kzread.info/dash/bejne/laqO081vqaecYco.html

그건 니 생각이지 쌍화차 유명한데 한번도 안마셔 봤을까? 한국인중에서 쌍화차 모르는 사람이 있을까? ㅋㅋ 집에서라고 한번은 마셔봤겠지 미역국 파는 식당 없다고 미역국을 한국인이 안먹냐? 미역국은 다 집에서 먹는 음식이라 그런거지. 쌍화차 파는 찻집 별로 없어도 집에서 다 먹을 수 있는거다
