Featured in Chosun Newspaper - May 10,2012



Woo-hoo! My friends and I were featured in Chosun llbo (Korea Daily News) on May 10,2012. To view, go to chosun.com and search 'gwangjang market'.  It's the first thing that will pop out - a drawing of some sort of map.


Why? How?  Well, because we joined a night food tour with O'ngo Communications.

Saw some great reviews about it, and so decided to inject it into our itinerary. Saved us time too from thinking of where to eat, well at least for that one night.

Turned out to be one of the best item in our itinerary because it was quite an experience. Even without the press coverage (which only happened in the last 45 minutes of the tour).

Basically we paid WON80,000 for the night food tour (6-10pm). This excluded the beer and wine. To include those drinks, the fee would be WON88,000.  At a glance, the tour price seems pricey, but I have to say it's well worth it.

We went to a barbeque place, chicken dish place, tofu kimchi place and finally the market where we ate savory pancakes. I liked the bbq place, chicken was just okay but quite memorable (reason to be posted on another entry), tofu + kimchi combo quite interesting, pancake dish I really liked!
