Bukchon Son Mandu (북촌손만두)

#

The long queue caught my attention when
I was wandering in Insadong.

There were Japanese tourist with their guide book in the queue so I guess
this place is one of the recommended eating place in Insadong.

Anyway, Bukchon Son Mandu (북촌손만두) is a
handmade dumplings restaurant that serve both
steam and deep fried dumplings.

It’s a franchise restaurant coz’ I saw it in Hongdae too.

p/s: It’s Monday again tomorrow…

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.

p/s: Do you read the descriptions that I write along with the photos
or do you just look at the photos?
