I just love it here anyways I've got an exciting episode for

you guys today because I'm gonna be going in to Tongin Market (통인시장) a traditional

Korean market fantastic Korean Street food can't wait to go there for lunch

and devour as many street food items as possible so we are heading right now

to Tongin Market (통인시장) a couple cool facts it started in 1941 exactly 75 stalls and

shops check it out can we do all of them in 75 minutes yes but what we have let's

do it

so before we get anything to eat I think we'll just take a walk through and scout

out this place so far I'm seeing a combination of food items you can buy

also some souvenirs and a little bit of street food over here there's a butcher

and they're also selling fruits and vegetables here as well I want to show

you a really cool fruit this is unique to Korea this is called a Pae it's

something in between an apple and a pear

Gamsahamnida Almeyo (How much is it?) Cheon Won (One Dollar) Gamsahamnida (Thank you) Kimchi Jeon massisseoyo (delicious) Canada Saram (I'm Canadian) Miguk Saram (He's American) Chingu (friends)

first item is one of my favorite korean street food this is kimchi-jeon 김치전

basically a kimchi Korean pancake and we saw the entire process of how it was

being made basically the lady came out she had some batter already prepared

kimchi obviously some flour and water to give it a pancake mixture to put it onto

a hot sizzling frying pan cooked it right in front of her eyes and then when

it was finished she grabbed it chopped it up with scissors and here we have it

right on the tray and how much does it cost

It's only cheon Won (1000 Won) for less than one u.s. dollar pretty amazing let's try

this here oh so good a little bit greasy hmm I love this the

best one dollar I spend in a long time I'm going in for two oh I love that I

thought just kimchi I think there's been some onions and other things put in it

spicy savory and greasy it's got everything I like Gamsahamnida ah ah thank

rolls I believe it's mostly vegetarian I'm not

sure if there's any meat in there I see carrots I see cucumber I see something

seaweed on the outside so the other thing love to do is to try it let's try

what's amazing it comes in this little cup just bite-sized snack size so don't

get too full from it I love about street food in Korea price is so reasonable the

portions are small I mean that you could have such diversity in one meal you can

go around spend like ten dollars to ten different items okay guys next up we're

getting maybe one of the cheapest items you can find in terms of korean street

food it's called Odeng and you get these basically it's a fish it's a fish

cake that is on a skewer and it only costs 500 Won which is like 50 US cents a

little bit less than that I'll show you what it looks like this is the entire

piece of it right here you've also got a little bit of soup at

the bottom it's like a gook it's a clear broth and so that's really tasty so

basically what you do to eat it just pick it up like this oh wow ooh piping hot

whoa oh it's over it's hot pot right mmm yeah it's the kind of thing

that you would typically find in a hot pot as part of like a spongy fish cake

texture that's how I would describe it mildly fishy but a very good very good

hmm mom cuz it comes with a heart kind of gook of soup it's perfect this would

actually be better on a winter's day than a summers day and you drink it I
