Samgeori Monjimak Sundaeguk is a well-known place that was designated a Seoul Future Heritage site. I visited on a bright, sunny day.

Nice weather

It was perfect weather for a walk.

Look at that sky..

Walking along, I spotted this sundaeguk place too.

It’s called Manyang Sundaeguk, and the atmosphere is straight out of a noir film.

This atmosphere..

This darkness..

Hard to believe there’s a place like this in central Seoul..

Sky..

Arrived.

It’s tucked away in a corner.

The spread

Sundaeguk

The sundae is the glass-noodle kind, and both the price and the taste are astonishing. Judging by the bottles of soju on most tables, I suspect this place makes its money on drinks rather than sundae.. and with side dishes this good, how could the drinks not go down easy?

What’s inside..

Who knew a bowl of sundaeguk could move me like this.. There’s a reason it was chosen as a Seoul Future Heritage site.

Hmm..

There’s a market nearby, so I dropped in, and on the way I came across this place. What on earth is “illegal consultation”?.. I honestly can’t figure it out.

Market scene..

They really sell a lot of dog meat..

Market scene

Lots of people.
