Soul Food in Seoul (Last Day)

It was our final day in Seoul. After breakfast and packing our luggages, we headed to Namdemun market for some last minute shopping. I saw some stores that feature children's clothes. We waited at the corner square . We talked to some tourism volunteers who informed us that our waiting was for naught. Stores inside buildings do not open of the first Sunday of every month!





Anyway, we already finished most of our shopping and sight seeing and so we searched for a place to have our last lunch in Seoul. At the corner of the alley and main road, there is a small restaurant run by two old ladies. As usual they could not understand english so we resorted to pointing things in their wall menu.

cutting homemade kimchi

 Kimchi was as usual unlimited and you can cut the long cabbage leaves with scissors.

Lets eat!

Clam soup with hand made noodles

Boiled dumplins

 We chose clam soup with handmade noodles. It tasted simple, clean and delicious. The noodle were perfectly cooked al dente. the broth was non spicy, the clams not overcooked.










We also ordered a plateful of boiled dumplings not knowing what was inside. It was thankfully filled with vegetables and ground pork. It tasted good specially when you dip it in soy sauce with a little vinegar (which the serving lady prepared for us). The whole meal was close to home cooking goodness as it gets.

Hindi kami gutom...masakit ang ngipin namin!

Resto at the alley cor main street at Namdaemun

We headed back to the hotel to rest and wait for our airport pick up. It was a great three day stay in Seoul, South Korea. We bring home with us a greater appreciation of South Korean history and culture.
