2020-01-03 Dongdaemun Food Tour - South Korea - Seoul

Came late to tour, they started without us and we were told to meet at the studio in 40 minutes. We decided to aimlessly walk around the market, but the cooking teacher happened to be riding her bike past us. She picked us up and brought us back to the group. The tour was reasonably interesting.

Unfortunately we were super hungry because we were in a rush this morning. During the cooking class, we made truckloads of food, but eat time we made the dish the assistants took it away to be eaten all at once later! The food wasn't piping hot anymore which was sad. At least we got to eat a bunch of food in the end.

We made lots and lots of dishes.

Market entrance.

Some serious garlic culture here.

As well as ginseng.

Cooking class ingredients. Not having to do prep work is actually what makes cooking fun in the end.

Getting ready for the dream that is chopping vegetables for an hour.

The completed product!

Another angle (I think at this point we just wanted to eat)

Retro keyboards that weren't retro, just hipster.

Random photo opportunities in the LINE friends store.

At first I thought these were window stickers, but apparently they're for... fuel holes?

Great tourist attractions inside the shop.

The whole LINE friends thing has a great design team. These are just door handles!

Egg bread! One of my favourites. Which may or may not have given me the runs for a short while.

This pastry based taiyaki is so much better than the standard.
