Dinner @ Gwangjang Market

 It's Xmas Eve and...people thronged to the street...well...

We're,  too. But...it's unintentional...since we're having some chores downtown...

...and dinnertime knocked our tummy out^^

...and we happened to be at Jeongno where this market seemed to be waving at us^^

Without further ado...we went in...

....suddenly amazed at the sight and sound...of this warm market in winter.

...we spotted this kind ajumma serving bibimbap...my favorite food!

...in 5 minutes...it's ready!

 ..yup...mixed vegetables and rice with spicy chilli sauce...

We also ordered 잔치국수 [janchi guksu] or...literally translated into 'banquet noodle'

...the colorful sense of bibimbap....eaten raw and fresh at the market really overwhelmed me.

....indeed it soothed the senses. 

I recommend. ..only go there at night to see a different ambience of Korea's traditional market.!!!!!

Gyeongju City Tour (part 10): A traditional market

Not that we never visit this kind of place in Seoul, but..it's just that we needed to go inside to find some ingredients to cook at home (I mean..our pension home in Gyeongju). 

So, all of us were lurking into the labyrinth of the only market we saw right in front of the Gyeongju station. Since it's late in the afternoon, not many stalls were open. Well, guess..they're closed already. 

See? Not many people visible, right? 

So, we ventured out of the market and encountered a sidewalk full of peddlers.

We bought some fruits for the night's 'party'.
