Hongdae, Seoul
The guy was creating this piece of art with just a few cans of spray!
Isn’t it so cool!!! I stood there watching him spraying away for a while :p
btw. If you’re wondering, ”Too cool for school” is a cosmetic brand.
It was exceptionally warm on that day, people were queueing up to buy lemonade, 2,500 won.
Bukchon Son Mandu (북촌손만두) is a handmade dumplings place.
I think it’s a franchise coz’ I saw the same restaurant in Insadong.
The one in Insadong had a crazy long queue :o
It seems that their fried dumplings (튀김만두 / twigim mandu) is delicious.
Sorry I haven’t tried so I can’t judge…
Actually I don’t like pan fried dumpling which
is called “gyouza” by Japanese but Bukchon Son Mandu fried dumplings looks
much different from gyouza.
I don’t like gyouza because it’s a bit too greasy.
Anyway, I think Bukchon Son Mandu offer both steam and deep fried dumplings.
만두 (mandu) = dumplings
Maybe I’ll give it a try next time.
