Itinerary
1
Seoul
Seoul is world-famous for K-Pop and Squid Game, but the capital’s food culture has a far older legacy. It’s a city of extremes, where the same hands that apply high-end cosmetics, are just as likely to be found cracking eomuk fish cakes at a street food stall.
15 minutes
2
Gwangjang Market
Knowing where to go, what to order, and how the dishes fit into daily Seoulite life takes local insight. Fear not, you've come to the right place.
Begin at Gwangjang Market, a 120-year-old institution and the heart of the city's street food. We’re going straight for a bowl of kalguksu hand-cut noodle soup served by the legendary stall of "Netflix Auntie". Watch as she rapidly knives through elastic dough, a masterclass in son-mat, where the variable thickness provides a different texture to each strand.
45 minutes

Gwangjang Market
During our 11+ tastings on the moveable feast, we’d rather not spoil all the surprises, but there are some firm favourites in store. Tuck into golden nokdu bindaetteok crepes, and then fiery, velvet-glazed tteokbokki rice cakes. Next up is the dangerously addictive kimbap seaweed rice rolls - Korea’s punchy answer to Japanese sushi. Carry in hand a cinnamon-laced hotteok pancake oozing with nuts and melted brown sugar, as we leave the market behind for the atmospheric narrow lanes of Ikseon-dong village.
1 hour and 30 minutes

Ikseon-dong
We complete our food expedition with a plate of juak, glutinous rice doughnuts glazed in honey, served with a glass of traditional omija tea, a warm, medicinal balance that perfectly sums up the layered flavors of this distinctive food culture.
Whilst it's possible to attempt such a culinary marathon alone, you’d be hard-pressed to find these legendary food heroes without joining our nightly moveable feast. Come hungry.
