[Special tours leaving with AREX] The Feel of Korean Alley Shops

Greeting from AREX :)

In Korea, many people go with their co-workers and friends to have a drink at the neighborhood alleyway shops.

Today, I will introduce two places where you can eat and drink at a super market for a unique experience!

Sinsaegye Supermarket

 

The Sinsaegye Supermarket on Seongmisan-ro in Mapo, Seoul is a market from the old days that is bustling with people and large, old Korean signs from various places within the old Yeonnamdong neighborhood.

Neighborhood Super Market Reappearance

 

There are shelves and tables full of various Korean snacks and ramen for you to get a gentle feel of Korea.

Here, you can choose whatever fits your fancy and request help cooking the food to immediately enjoy your snacks.

 

Apart from ramen and snacks, there are also inexpensive foods to enjoy along with other beverages you can grab yourself in the fridges.

In particular, men and women of all ages can get a taste of Korea by trying the sweet and spicy rice cakes or the ramen with black soybean paste and egg.

Yeonnam Super

 

The exterior’s 80’s appearance and interior’s simplicity with walls covered in doodles allows you to get a good feel for Korean drinking establishments. The walls and all their doodles show the marks of all the previous patrons and their many hours of drinking at the bar.

Korean Bars

 

There are a variety of foods to enjoy at the bar including dried Pollack, squid and other grilled foods along with noodle and soup dishes, too. There are also 10 types of alcohols that you can only try in Korea, so you can have fun picking and choosing things to your liking.

The signature and most popular dish at the Yeonnam Super is the grilled dried pollack! If you dip it into the mix of green pepper, soy sauce and mayo, it will really hit the spot!

That’s all for today on the Sinsaegye Supermarket and Yeonnam Super!

We hope you get a feel for Korean bars by enjoying a drink after a day of sightseeing!
