Photobucket
If you're looking for what to eat, where to eat, or must eats in seoul, our list of 20 things to eat in Seoul might help! Here's a list of food/eateries that we didn't blog about individually but you should definitely try them if you're going to Seoul! For the entire list of cafes and restaurants that we've visited and blogged about, please click here [:

1) Barbecue

Hongik Sutbul Galbi

The BEST barbecue we had in Korea! This is in Hongdae. The barbecue restaurant is owned by a butcher so you can be sure that the meat you get is fresh and succulent.


Daily : 4pm - 4am

Palsaik Samgyupsal 팔색삼겹살  (Sinchon)
Photobucket
Think seafood soup, fresh juicy meat and scallops for only 28,000 won. Its insane. We were so so so full. And everything was really delicious! This is the original branch.




2) Oppa Dak

Garlic chicken that everyone could not get enough of. I'm not a fan of garlic but these were really good!!




3) Sweet Potato Latte
 Photobucket
Thick, sweet, fragrant and I really liked it! X didn't like it though haha. You can have sweet potato latte in Singapore at Cups N Canvas!

6-23 Namsandong 1(il)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea
Daily : 24 hours
 

4) Ramyeon

 Cold Noodles in a clear broth. Simple but a delight! This was in Hongdae! The noodles came with a side dish which is grilled pork and it only cost 5,500 won! Cold noodles are simple, yet very palatable!

5) Patbingsu / Bingsu
Photobucket
This is definitely the most popular item during summer. You can find patpingsu everywhere! Even in their coffee joints. Prices can go up to 15,000 won for a bowl of patpingsu. There's apparently a very famous place for patpingsu in Sinchon! I'm not a fan of red beans and fruits so I didn't really want to try it haha. It's like expensive ice kachang I guess?

6) Yoogane Dak Galbi
Photobucket
A famous franchise in Korea! Really delicious! Plus they have a side dish which is vegetables tossed in a special mayo that is super good haha the first vegetable I've eaten in years

7) Makgeoli
Photobucket
A sweet alcoholic drink that bears a slight resemblance to grape yakult!

8) Skewers
Every roadside pushcart or stall tends to sell skewers but the skewers from this stall is THE BEST. The first time I ate it was in Ewha and second time in Hongdae!

Really yummy!

9) Kimbab
Photobucket
I was lucky because the stall owner could speak a little English and tell me what the ingredients inside the Kimbab were. Usually kimbab contain veggie but the kimbab at this stall contained ham, cheese, tuna etc!! HAHA so happy to hear HAM

10) Tteokbokki
Photobucket
There are plenty of eateries that have this dish but I'd recommend Villa De Spicy in Gangnam!

541-10 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea
Daily : 11am - 10pm

Fried chicken in honey mustard. I ate this numerous times.
A little expensive, 3,000 won, but really awesome!

Mapo-gu Seogyodong 365-16 (Hongdae)


12) Crazy Burger
Photobucket
There's a Crazy Burger stall 20 metres from our apartment! And I've eaten this at least 5 times! It's so good and it's so cheap! Only 1,500 won! I have eaten two at one go before haha. Miss it so much!

13) Waffles
Photobucket
Their waffles come with cream or icecream. The cream is special, sweet and smooth. Coupled with a piping hot and crispy waffle, this is a quick dessert fix that will leave you wanting for more! This can be purchased at just 1,000 won in Hongdae at a street stall! And it's readily available everywhere actually!

14) Steff Houlberg at Lotte World
Photobucket
If you're going to Lotte World, do try the hotdogs here! Pretty amazing!

19) Be Sweet On

This was heaven. Warm sweet caramelized apples with a scoop of good quality vanilla icecream, on a puffy flaky pastry with cold sweet custard... I could eat this everyday. I'll give anything to have this right now. Too good, too good.

  2. What a beautiful post, thank you so much for the hard work. Do you guys mind sharing where you put up at while in Seoul for a month? I imagine hotel accommodation would be exorbitant! :O
