Kimchi fried rice with dumpling soup as breakfast… but don’t eat too full yet because there are more yummies later on hehe…
The local fish market is the place where I will always visit when I am overseas because seafood is my favourite 
, so Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market here we come…
It’s a really easy place to reach because you just have to take the local subway to Noryangjin Station and just follow the signage, the market is just across a bridge.
And tada! Wow! You can find all kinds of seafood there…
Don’t be too stunned by the seafood because the ajumma will scold you if you stand there for too long taking pictures. Anyway, just follow the crowd and move. When you are done with the photo and checking out the price (the starting price is mostly standard), remember to haggle with the stall owner, the more you buy, the more discount you can argue for.
Once you have settled on the price, most of the stall owner will bring you to their affiliated restaurant to cook the seafood for you (take note the cooking is another cost). Btw a plate of 8x oyster cost KRW5,000! Where can you find this price in Singapore, so we hoot quite a lot of oyster haha…
Lee Min Ho: Water is self-service… he’s so famous haha…
Next, we went Dragon Hill Spa Jjimjilbang near Yongsan Station. Entrance fee: KRW6,500 after 50% discount for Asiana Airline (bring your e-ticket).
After paying, you are given an electronic wristband which will hold all your expense you spend inside. After changing into their clothing, time to explore…
And eat… the famous sikhye (sweet rice drink) and 3-colour eggs… Remember to break open the egg using your head, as in KDrama haha…
And not forgetting the Sheep Head Towel haha…
After cleaning up the sweat, we head on to Myeong-dong…
The famous steamed dumplings… delicious…
Other nice to eat: Egg Muffin, Corn Dog
The tired promoter… the dog costume is so cute… haha…
After our shopping spree, we went on to Dongdaemun, a wholesale market for apparel. After walking for 30 minutes, really nothing much to buy there, only bought this pair of Shin-Ramen socks.
Hungry back at hotel, luckily right across our hotel is a Red Tent Food Stall: kimchi pancake, seafood fried rice, mussel soup. Taste-wise just so-so, just go for the KDrama experience.
Today is the last day in South Korea and is the most enjoyable day for this tour, and as always, with stomach filled to the brim
