I recommend visiting Dongmun Traditional Market. Itās a great place to taste local snacks and street food.
@ida_rt That sounds amazing! Local markets are always a great way to discover authentic flavors and connect with the culture.
I loved trying Jeju black pork and fresh seafood! The flavors were so different from regular Korean food.
@diis_marietremblay Great choices! Jeju black pork is definitely a must-try local specialty. Thanks for sharing your food experience!
For backpackers, I suggest trying small local restaurants instead of only famous tourist spots. The food is usually more authentic and affordable.
