Tomorrow around lunchtime, we’ll head to Gwangjang Market!

You’re welcome to explore and eat whatever you like.

It can get pretty crowded, so I might not be able to help everyone order at once.

To make things easier, I’ll show you photos of some Gwangjang Market dishes — if ordering feels tricky, just show the picture to the vendor. It’ll work like magic! 😄

1. Mung Bean Pancake (빈대떡)

“The golden disco ball of Korean street food — sizzling, crunchy, and unapologetically greasy.”

Behold the bindaetteok: a glorious, golden pancake made from ground mung beans, diced kimchi, bean sprouts, and sometimes pork. It’s fried until the edges sing like crispy applause in a K-drama finale. One bite and you’ll understand why locals pair it with makgeolli (rice wine) — because even heaven needs a drink.

2. Knife-Cut Noodles (칼국수)

“A bowl so comforting it should come with a weighted blanket.”

These hand-cut noodles swim in a soul-warming broth — usually made from anchovies, dried kelp, or chicken bones simmered for hours. Add zucchini, clams, and a little love from the ajumma chef, and you’ve got a hug in liquid form. Slurp loud — it’s Korean etiquette.
