A hearty boiled pork slices in Jongno 3 ga, Choi buja Bossam

#myhiddengems Located in a small alley at Jongno 3 ga, this nice little restaurant is famous for its boiled pork slices and pork throtters. We opted for the set of pork slices and fried squid combo as we do not wanna have too much meat, and they tasted very good. Every table was given a plate of fried fish on the house, and a pot of stewed pork bone soup. We waited for 15 minutes and the restaurant was in full house, which further gave a live testimony on how the food is nice. I will definitely come back again for this nice pork slices.

Taste of Tradition: Exploring Korea's Street Food Scene!

Exploring the vibrant streets of Korea with an unforgettable feast! Starting with spicy tteokbokki, these chewy rice cakes are perfectly paired with crispy twigim (tempura), savory sundae (blood sausage), and delightful mandu (dumplings). I also indulged in tender steamed pork knuckle and boneless chicken feet, along with unlimited odeng (fish cake) soup. Adding to the spread is fresh gimbap, filled with vegetables and seaweed. For a sweet finish, I enjoyed yakgwa (honey cookies), dalgona (traditional candy), and creamy 10cents cheese, all complemented by a refreshing sikhye (sweet rice drink). A true celebration of Korean street food culture! #Tteokbokki #Twigim #Sundae #Mandu #PorkKnuckle #BonelessChickenFeet #Odeng #Gimbap #Yakgwa #Dalgona #Sikhye #KoreanStreetFood #twigim #10centscheese #FoodieAdventure#100waysoftravel

Beetle Beetle Beetle Taco is a hot spot these days.

Seosulla-gil, which is a trending place these days! Among them, Beetle Beetle Beetle Taco is extremely popular! It's a famous taco restaurant, so you have to be there early to get in! Even on weekdays, you have to wait for 3 hours to eat there🥲 I don't understand why you have to order one drink per person even if you order food, but it's worth visiting at least once!

Dotori Garden: Famous Greek Yogurt Shop

📍Dotori Garden 🚶3-minute walk from Ankoku Station Atmosphere/Facilities👼A space that feels like stepping into a Ghibli movie There are photo spots with original characters Highlights👼The interior and food are so cute that they are perfect for social media. Although there is usually a long line, the atmosphere makes it enjoyable. Average Price👼From 2500 yen to 5000 yen Depending on what you order, it can be quite expensive. Ordering yogurt, drinks, cookies, and acorn bread costs around 4500 yen. Review👼When I went for a preview the day before, there was indeed a long line. If you line up 30 minutes before the morning opening, you can get in right after it opens. I stayed at a nearby hotel, so it was relatively easy for me to go, but if you take the train, you have to wake up much earlier, which might be tough. Budget per person👼Around 3000 yen? It depends on what you order.

[Jongno] Daehak-ro Cafe Artista

The Four Seasons of Artista each have their own distinct personality. Renoir was a floral iced tea that captured the warm sunlight and subtle sweetness of spring. I preferred it as an iced tea rather than a floral tea. Monet had a rich pistachio flavor that I really enjoyed, and the coffee was strong yet surprisingly clean in the aftertaste. Van Gogh had a ratio of about 2 parts lemon to 8 parts coconut. It felt like drinking real coconut juice with a shy hint of lemon. ⏰Business Hours 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM (Closed every Monday) 📍Artista 1st Floor, 129 Daehak-ro 8-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

Jongno - Jungle

A place introduced by a friend who said it has a really good atmosphere. Walking through maze-like paths and opening the door, you will find an unexpected Buddha statue and a restaurant with a beautiful view. The stepping stone-like path over the flowing water and the subtly divided seating areas make it a great date spot. It seems that many people make reservations before coming. Since it's at the top of a hill, take a car! The food is clean and neat! If you can't eat cilantro, ask them to leave it out :) Be sure to order the watermelon juice :) ⭐️Closed every Tuesday⭐️ 17-6, Changsin 6na-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
