Ssamzie-gil

I was so bored last Tuesday, and decided to have photo-walk around Seoul. Insa-dong is my first stop. I wonder how many times i have been there. This is one of the few places in Seoul where you can experience traditional Korean culture: foods, drinks, from the newest and oldest Korean ornaments and clothes. Whenever i am there i never failed to indulge myself with a Korean traditional tea. It has a lot of Korean traditional tea houses and restaurants ( might introduce some of them later in my blog). My favorite place in Insa-dong is SSamzie gil.

SSamzie-gil is a place for contemporary artist to show their work and you will see some cute-unique-Korean stuff shop in the area.

There are lots of stuff to adore around Ssamzie-gil.

dolsot bibimbap

Bibimbap, a medley of rice, meat, veggies, half-cooked or raw egg at the top, plus the Korean spice staple, kochujang, which is the red-pepper paste, is one of the most popular dishes in Korea. There are many variation of this, in fact, it's all up to you on what stuff you want to mix. Dolsot Bibimbap is one major variation. Best to be eaten during cold days because it’s always served sizzling in a hot-stone-pot, and makes the rice in the bottom crispy- the best thing I love in Dolsot Bibimbap. You will find this too tasty to say no, that's why many of the foreigners have fallen in love with this. As seen in this ad, this is the taste of HARMONY.
