Budget Friendly Good Food in Mapo-gu

Mangwon market is a traditional market in Mapo-gu that is within close proximity to Hongdae and the Han River so it’s easy to stop by, grab some food and be on your way. You can even pack them for a picnic by the Han River! They have many things here in the market, from fresh produce and ready made bites. They are known for some delicious Jokbal or pig trotters. They simmer way for hours until the meat is nice and tender. From experience, don’t buy from the big mainstream grocery stores. It isn’t as good. But from the farmer’s market like this, oooh it’s good! One of my other favorite is the Chicken bites! The stall solely focus on bite size dakganjang (chicken bites). There is a wide variety of chicken bites that have been doused in different sauces. My favorite are the spicy selection. if you like chicken; you’ll like this stall! Dont miss it! 😋 Address - 411 Mangwon-Dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul Directions - Mangwon Station, exit 2. Coming out of the station make a u-turn to the right and walk into the neighbourhood about 5 mins to the entrance of the market that will come up on your right. #seoul #foodie #foodmarket #korea #southkorea #streetfood #travel #solotraveler #foodhunt #budgetfriendly
