This is one of Seoul's best markets. During the day it's known as a place for trading in
secondhand clothes and fabrics. But it's at night that it really comes into its own, when
some of its alleys fill up with vendors selling all manner of street eats. Stewed pig trotters
and snouts,
gimbap
(rice, veggies and ham wrapped in rice and rolled in sheets of seaweed)
and
bindaetteok
(plate-sized crispy pancakes of crushed mung beans and veggies fried on a
skillet) are all washed down with copious amounts of
makgeolli
and
soju
(local liquors).
