Korean Traditional Food

How much do you know about Korean traditional food?

My firends and I went 부여 (Buyeo)  and we visited a restaurant famous for traditional food: 백제의집, It was so delicious, very expensive though.   They served so much food that we could not finish it all.

Yeongwol

Yeongwol County (Yeongwol-gun) is a county in Gangwon Province, South Korea.

Well known as the place where King Danjong, the sixth king of Joseon Dynasty, was exiled when he was forced to abdicate by his uncle, who became Sejo of Joseon. It is also where Danjong was buried after he was murdered in 1457, following the attempts by six martyred ministers to restore him to power, after he was perceived to be a continuing threat to the rule of his uncle. It is also where the Joseon Dynasty poet Kim Sat-gat is buried.

From the bus terminal to this UNESCO World Heritage, the easiest and most convenient thing to do is taking a taxi, it will be faster and not expensive since it is not that far (taxi fee it's just 3,500 Korean Won)

Kimchi Kan Museum

Going to Kimchi museum is a 'must' if you like Korean gastronomy!
It is located in Seoul and if you visit their website to buy the tickets beforehand you can get discount prices!
They have English speakers explaining each step to make your own Kimchi (you can actually take it home with you so you'd better pay attention and prepare a good Kimchi!).

Insadong

Insa-dong (인사동), located in the heart of the city, is an important place where old but precious and traditional goods are on display. There is one main road in Insa-dong with alleys on each side. Within these alleys are galleries, traditional restaurants, traditional teahouses, and cafes. The galleries are the heartbeat of Insa-dong. There are about 100 galleries in the area and you can see every example of traditional Korean fine art from paintings to sculptures. The most famous galleries are Hakgojae Gallery, which functions as the center of folk art, Gana Art Gallery, which promotes many promising artists, and Gana Art Center.

Gyeongju - 경주

Gyeongju es una ciudad costera en el extremo sureste de la provincia Gyeongsang del Norte en Corea del Sur. Gyeongju fue la capital del antiguo reino de Silla (57 a.C. - 935 d.C.), que gobernó alrededor de dos terceras partes de la península coreana entre los siglos VII y IX. Un gran número de sitios arqueológicos y bienes culturales de este período quedan en la ciudad, por lo que a menudo es llamada "el museo sin paredes". Entre estos tesoros históricos están; la gruta budista Seokguram, el templo Bulguksa, las zonas históricas de Kyongju y la aldea tradicional Yangdong, que están designados como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Los muchos sitios históricos importantes han ayudado a Gyeongju a convertirse en uno de los destinos turísticos más populares en Corea del Sur.
