Hello, Steemians! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Finally I am doing 10th Photo Challenge!
YEY!!
I am quite proud of myself to keep tracking my posts except on weekends lol.
Hmm...... ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿค”actually, I have been thinking about what to post today.
Guess I have to show a small part of my eating out life,
apparently technically Korean drinking life at marketplaces.๐Ÿ˜

On the 2nd day in Seoul,
we, me and Mr. Fantastic Foodie did not want to lose
the chance to go to the food market near our hotel in Jongrogu(์ข…๋กœ๊ตฌ).
The market is called Gwangjang market(๊ด‘์žฅ์‹œ์žฅ),
and originally around the market area,
there are more fabric stores and factories and big clothing market buildings.
Guess they had supplied high-quality ones to them
to make more clothes before now.
These days Gwangjang market has another popularity in the food market.
I don't know how it started but guess it might be started like this.
After hard work, the workers probably had had some good time
with coworkers sharing food and their stories.
Or some buyers also felt tired or hungry while walking around,
then found easy and fast, but good food booths and
they were pretty satisfied with it then now turns out like this.

For the first few minutes to go inside more,
we could see only a few people walking around or leaving.
But when we were almost close to the middle of the market,
there were full of people like this.
Looked very busy but still I could feel very alive and active!

We both were exploring first because we were pretty overwhelmed
with people and all kinds of food at the market.
Even could see a lady who was making Korean pancake(Jeon,์ „)
was moving as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Then our minds were caught by this place.
The green sign said Jongmoon sashimi house(์ข…๋ฌธํšŸ์ง‘), No.33 booth.

This old lady, all by herself was serving all customers.
Can you believe she is almost 70?
I wished she was my grandma
then I can help her and get some reward here, her yummy food.๐Ÿ˜†

Standing here, this tiny space.



After ordering some salmon and conch shells,
we got the seats at her booth
then I got very interesting views from my seats.
Her booth had everything that she needs.

Such a tiny magic shelf full of food and drinks

Then our food was slowly being served to our table.

One of my favourite food combinations, Soju and Sashimis

This the way some of Koreans including me eat sashimi.
I know wasabi seems scary to you
but pretty good if you like it and put more on your food.

We just fell in love with the food and drink. It was heaven.
Even the lady gave extra sliced conch shells more
because she really loved Mr. Fantastic Foodie was eating so well.



Had fun eating out at a new market
and we quite luckily met the old lady, who was the owner of the sashimi booth.
After we came home in Ulsan, we both are missing her.
Guess later have to see her or kidnap her to my city!
Lastly, I can show you how much you can have fun in Korea with drinks!
