点评:In the evening at the famous Myeongdong Street Food Market, stallholders sell all kinds of yummy street food. Do try the baked cheese with condensed milk (a weird combination that actually works!); kimchi and pork dumplings (crispy and really addictive); hotteok honey pancakes (so, so good!); chicken/pork/duck skewers (delicious!), beef steak (yummy!) and freshly squeezed pomegranate juice…just to name a few. Most food items cost an affordable KRW5,000 per serving, while the hotteok cost only KRW2,000 and the pomegranate juice KRW7,000. The beef steak cost KRW15,000, which was still such a steal. For fun, I also bought a heart-shaped dalgona (honeycomb candy, à la "Squid Game") for KRW5,000.
Personally, I much preferred this street food market in Myeongdong to Gwangjang Market. (The latter had pigs trotters, blood sausages, etc, lying around, and it somehow made me wanna puke. Seriously.)
Myeongdong Shopping Street is also a must-visit because…drum roll…Olive Young Myeongdong is located here! One can find all kinds of Korean skincare products here (eg Round Lab, Skin 1004, Biodance, Torriden, Abib, Mediheal, COSRX, Skin Food, Numbuzin, Manyo, Dr G, Isoi, Sungboon Editor, Beauty of Joseon, etc), with some items on sale. Shoppers were grabbing stuff like everything was free. LOL. It’s crazy. South Korea has conquered the world with its beauty products!
Once again, it's genius that there is duty-free shopping at Olive Young. So remember to bring your passport. I saw some shoppers dragging along their cabin bag on wheels to fill and lug their loot away with greater ease. Talk about women on a mission!
翻译:晚上,在著名的明洞街头美食市场,摊主们售卖各种美味的街头小吃。一定要尝尝炼乳烤奶酪(一种真正有效的奇怪组合!);泡菜和猪肉饺子(香脆可口);蜜汁煎饼(太好吃了!);鸡肉/猪肉/鸭肉串(美味!),牛排(美味!)和鲜榨石榴汁……仅举几例。大多数食品每份价格为 5,000 韩元,价格实惠,而煎饼仅售 2,000 韩元,石榴汁 7,000 韩元。牛排售价 15,000 韩元,这仍然非常便宜。为了好玩,我还花了 5,000 韩元买了一个心形的达尔戈纳(蜂窝糖,类似“鱿鱼游戏”)。
就我个人而言,我更喜欢明洞的这个街头美食市场,而不是广藏市场。(后者到处都是猪蹄、血肠等,不知怎么的,让我想吐。说真的。)
明洞购物街也是一个必去之地,因为……鼓声响起……Olive Young 明洞店就在这里!在这里可以找到各种韩国护肤品(例如 Round Lab、Skin 1004、Biodance、Torriden、Abib、Mediheal、COSRX、Skin Food、Numbuzin、Manyo、Dr G、Isoi、Sungboon Editor、Beauty of Joseon 等),有些商品还在打折。购物者抢购东西,好像所有东西都是免费的。哈哈。太疯狂了。韩国用美容产品征服了世界!
再说一次,Olive Young 有免税购物,真是天才。所以记得带上你的护照。我看到一些购物者拖着带轮子的行李袋,以便更轻松地装满和拖走他们的战利品。谈论肩负使命的女性!
