Yaksu Sundaeguk.. Looks like they’ve moved somewhere new, and the line is long.. Though these days it seems to be like that everywhere..

Pigments in Yaksu

It’s a bakery, and word must have got around that it’s good, because if you go late there’s no bread left. Also, something I only found out later: this place and Dough Society apparently have the same owner. Some people just have a sense for business..

When the bread comes out

It runs from 8 to 11, so you have to get up early in the morning.

Samarkand

I’d love to work my way through the good restaurants in Dongdaemun too, but that’s hard to do on my own.

Russian Cakes

Turns out this place is a popular one too..

Dongbuk Hwagwawang

It’s a popular Chinese restaurant in Dongdaemun, but here too it’s hard to recruit a raiding party to come along..

Dongdaemun scenes

Eomeoni Daeseongjip

This place really does seem to keep going.

Minari Hof

I’d like to give this place a try as well, but I still haven’t made it..

Cheongnyangni

It’s completely changed. People have plenty to say about this neighbourhood, but that doesn’t make it cheap.. so I think I can leave it alone for a while.

Gyeongdong Market

Word is there are lots of good spots here, but I was busy so I just walked on past.

Namyeong-dong

Eun Sung Steak

Apparently there’s a famous budae jjigae place in Namyeong-dong

Teolbo

It’s impressive that a tradition just keeps going like this.

Yeouido scenes

The Glenlivet 18

Well now, I never expected an ad like this right in the middle of Yeouido..

Five Guys

One opened in Yeouido too.. I’m not sure whether it was lucky that I rushed over and ate at one when they first opened, or what..

Welcome MintChoco World

A bakery specialising in mint choc has opened in Yeonnam-dong.

Migratory birds

Yeouido

Nammun Market

Here too I saw a lot of Chinese.

Jinyeong Myeonok

I hit their break time, so I didn’t get to eat that day.

Seoul scenes

There are plenty of places worth walking to.
