My Family: Day 7 Taipei Seoul Trip

Bf at 1 of the BBQ restaurants near our hotel. Beside BBQ stuff, they served noodle and porridge as well.

Only served us 2 banchan. So pathetic.

Seafood Instant Noodle.

Abalone Porridge. Where is the Abalone? Kanna con again.

Dumpling. The dumpling a bit er xin. Too much minced meat in it.

A walk at the Cheonggyecheong stream which is just behind our hotel leading towards Dongdaemun Station and many other shopping complexes.

Our hotel at the far right. Pyoung Hwa Clothing Market. Not sure what is it. A wholesale centre?

More of Cheonggyecheong stream. Apparently it's quite a very famous stream in Seoul which is a few KM long. Can google more for more details.

Sian. Dongdaemum Gate is under construction. Sian. Couldnt take a nice pic of it.

We went to the shoes market which is very near Dongdaemun Gate and Dongdaemun Station. It's a whole street selling only shoes. Nice and budget priced shoes everywhere. Too bad our luggages are full already or I will definitely buy a few pairs back.

Our lunch at Dak Hanmari Alley or Grilled Fish Alley. Dak Hanmari is another kind of Chicken Soup and since it's almost the same like Ginseng Chicken, we tried the Grilled Fish instead. We were lost initially but we show passerby on the picture of the grilled fish shop and was directed there. If you’re looking for a locals-only kind of place to fill your stomach, this wouldn’t be a bad place to do so.

Generous serving of Banchan

Wonderful yummilicious grilled fish

Need to take out our shoes before entering

There's 2 levels in this restaurant. We were seated at level 2 and the ceiling is so low that I need to hunchback.

Outside the restaurant

Friendly Boss. The whole meal only cost around $20.

It's shopping time again and it's the last place that we will be visiting before we fly back to Taipei. Namdaemun Market is a large traditional market in Seoul. The market is located next to Namdaemun, the "Great South Gate," which was the main southern gate to the old city. It is the oldest and largest market in Korea

Map of Namdaemun

There are 6 Gates in Namdaemun Market and we entered from Gate 6 after exiting from exit 5 of the Namdaemun station. Much of the market is outside, but there are also many stores which line the streets.

It's also a place to come for Grade A counterfeit branded stuff. Saw ppl entering into shops and then into another door inside the shop. Am quite sure that Grade A branded stuff could be find there but I'm not gonna risk my life going in there. The staff will definitely force us to buy something if I ever get in there.
