Why You Should Get Out Of Seoul 🇰🇷

Why You Should Get Out Of Seoul 🇰🇷

All right good morning everyone from another  lovely day here in South Korea now right now   we’ve come to abai Village a village that was  formed by North Korean refugees during the   Korean War so we’re overlooking it here this  whole area there is actually like a tourist  

Pulley boat you can get across the river to get  here but we just walked over this bridge and to   be honest it’s quite nice you get a view of the  surroundings the mountains and whatnot so we’re   going to head straight into the village get  some tasty breakfast and then we’ll see what  

Happens from there let’s go immediately though  it looks pretty cool does it you see we got some   little Alleyways old shops let’s go so we’ll  get straight into this we’ll start in one of   these little alleys we’ll try and find the Main  Street where I’m guessing there’s going to be  

Loads of little restaurants places to eat  but it’s pretty cool isn’t it look at this   so we’re straight in here in a monst a little  Alleyways and it is really cool it almost feels   like a bloody 1950s Korean time warp you know  it’s chilled out just these small houses look  

At this its dead there’s that one here we’ll  just have a look around and I hello she were   cute doing a bit of um washing up smiley smiley  old lady now I believe so the people who came  

In the war the North Korean people obviously  that was like how how long ago was that like   70 years ago so I don’t reckon many if any of  those people are still here but I guess the   descendants are still the people knocking around  proper little piece of History here look at this

House all let’s get some food cuz we’re hungry  and I think we know have a good dish to eat,   a classic okay now we’re talking this has got to  be the main street that runs through Abai village  

With all the restaurants and shops and whatnot  on now I’m just going to show you something here   this place is famous for well known for the squid  Sundae which we will try today it might not be  

In here but we will try it while we’re here got  some Korean army lads, where are we are you can   see just pictures full of delicious looking  food you we got normal Sunday abai sundae I   think we’re going to get some cold noodles they  also do crab noodles let’s find our restaurant  

Let’s pick we’ve got a lot of choice haven’t we  look so much in here too much choice I know and   everywhere everywhere’s selling the same thing  to be fair what’s this so you got so much Choice  

Worthy to choose I think we’re going to head into  this one cuz I’ve just seen the lot of shoes at   the door you take your shoes off and go in looks  like a classic we’ve got some nice pictures let’s  

Go for it leesh so there we go slip our boots  off and I say and in we go oh she’s bringing   out some food there looks really good it smells  fantastic this second you walk in it what do we  

Do do we just sit down ourself or do we wait I  say do we just sit okay okay there something right   here we go or should we sit in here is it should  we sit here should we sit on the end one okay it’s  

Freezing out there but in here it’s toasty and  warm so is the menu oh the menu is on the wall   here okay we will translate the menu and have  a look don’t worry it’s okay there pictures up  

There I think we know what we’re going to get here  you go two okay so we’ve done it it’s something   about eating with the shoes off that just makes  it a lot better and cosier I don’t know what it  

Is it’s just nice to have your shoes off so they  actually brought out another menu and we’ve gone   for where is it the cold buckwheat noodles with  raw pollock so raw Pollock um spiced with the  

Korean chili paste the gochujang this is going  to be good wow that looks so good oh wow how good   does this look this looks absolutely incredible so  cuz some need a what’s this like a little pot of  

Tea right so here we got on Naengmyon now this  is actually a North Korean summer cold noodle   dish so what better place to try this in that  Abai Village this looks incredible so let’s get   some Chopsticks so in the side door you always  get your chopsticks in your spoon there you go  

Leesh you and then the Chopsticks where are  they let’s get some out oh got three get one more okay it looks very delicious  delicious you not mix the pure   small cut mix okay put this in here what this half

Half okay oh wow we just found out this is  actually a cold broth top up it’s just like   ice water that we can throw in if we want some  more soup all right so I’ll show you what’s in  

Here this I can’t believe how good this looks  so these are 9,000 each and in here we have got   we’ve got literal chunks of ice can try and get  one of those out look at that I can’t but but  

You can see literal chunks of ice we got the egg  on the top the sesame seeds we got the gochujang   the Korean spicy chili paste we’ve got Korean  Asian pear what else have we got the buckwheat  

Noodles underneath I’m going to mix it this in a  minute and then we’ve got this dried raw Pollock   that’s again flavored with the gochujang the  chili paste that looks incredible and then we   got a little side of kimchi and we’ve got beef  is that beef oh my goodness me that’s a decent  

Slice of beef this looks incredible smells so  looks like heaven does it so let’s give this   a mix oh we need to mix all those ingredients  together how good does this look that slice of   meat looks fantastic oh but yeah the noodles are  really stiff they’re going to need snipping but  

It’s all right because this dish always comes  with a pair of Scissors because the noodles   are always served super long these buckwheat  noodles so we give it a Big Snip through the   middle God it’s a mess this is it snip them up  otherwise you’re not going to be able to eat them

And then we can now mix it up let’s try gosh  I might have to cut back this is going to be   too hard to do while I was filming but yeah  you get the point we’re going to mix this  

All together looks good Leesh bloody nearly  done it I about to like get my Chopsticks get   in there it looks yummy though we finally  done it mixed it all up it looks fantastic   look at that ice cube floating about so  we can top it up with broth whenever we  

Need if it’s going a bit dry but should we  try it yeah let’s go go for it what’s it like really delicious not refreshing well  good so let’s get some of the meat look at that oh that’s good like dense meat  get some of the pear the Asian pear

Chewy the buckwheat noodles are hard to  chew to that’s why people snip them up   cuz like you really have to like bite  them like four times that’s so good   got egg in there as well I just remembered  buried underneath I can’t pick that up try

That that is so good seriously like one of my  favorite meals I love it it’s so delicious so   good I’m so happy that we’ve tried it here so I  think we’ll finish these now let’s just try that

Then so good so delicious it was fantastic okay have a lovely day a day goodbye  she’s absolutely lovely Ray of Sunshine so let’s   slip shoes back on I don’t know we were  just talking some about this eating with  

Shoes off it makes you feel at home I think  that’s why it’s so good especially when it’s   like cold outside makes you feel like you’re  eating at home so they were 9,000 each £5.50  

And I’ve got to say it was fantastic really one  one of the best meals I’ve eaten in a very long   time so there we go check it out cool little  spot so we’ll have another walk through the village who the bloody hell is this we  found a little cat what’s on your neck

Peaceful nice it’s just nice in it the village is  there just a little village little sea little old me what a little place then the Abai Village  really cool history so if I didn’t explain   properly the Korean War a lot of the North  Korean people obviously fled so they fled down  

Here to this part of Korea and then obviously  when they drew and partitioned North and South   Korea they were stuck south of that line so  they couldn’t go back I think eventually a   few of them wanted to did go back but most  of them ended up staying here and then this  

Was the village what a place so we’re going to  head back over the big bridge to sokcho City the   proper City side and we’ll see what we’re going  to get up to we’re passing under that bridge on  

Our way back and you can see all the fishermen  here you can see we got fishing boats few old   chaps just chilling out fishing it’s a proper  cool place look we’ got a bit of a dock area

Here in the distance you can actually see the  boat you can get from that side to this side   if you don’t want to walk over the bridge here  that we walked over it’s like a pulley boat youve  

Got to like pull it yourself with a rope you see  all the tourists on it I think it only cost like   500 korean won but just walk over you get a nice  view from this bridge just a bit loud with all the traffic here we go we’re going to try

Stuff with all kinds of different ingredients  can you see on the picture there so we’re going   to see how she cooks this squid sundae so she’s  thrown them all into this egg mixture give them

Lovely all right so we come down to sokcho Central  Market we’re going to head in try and grab a few   bites of food just have a walk through cuz we’re  pretty hungry again and it’s just good to show  

You the vibe around here show you what’s going  on cuz it is quite cool the markets in Korea   are fantastic so we’ll see we’re trying to find  something interesting actually this right now   is actually the um sweet and sour chicken the  what is it I don’t know how you say it but the  

The chicken that’s famous here And there’s loads  of that being sold as you can see here and I say   oh is this chicken or shrimp chicken oh do you  know where we can try shrimp shrimp shrimp just  

Right in front of okay okay thank you okay guys  need okay right so we’ve had the the chicken so   we want to maybe try and find some of the shrimp  in that sauce and see if we can find that I don’t  

Even know if they sell it but he said they  do didn’t they so we’ll have a look this is   my favorite thing about Korea yeah look at this  granny with a dog oh I’m in the way of everyone  

Look at that I had to stop in the market to show  you that though because um legendary is it so this   I believe is the famous chicken shop and you can  see it’s like a proper establishment look they  

Got lab suits on in there this is the really busy  one I think everyone probably just buys it because   it’s got a nice box but we went to Granny in  the other video so check that video out cuz we  

Got a really good one and she was really cute  oh we’ve got another Princess coming down look   at this guy’s dog it’s beautiful look at that  the hell you’ve never seen people as proud of   the dog have you look there’s the nice box she’s  carrying one right what should we get so there  

Was loads of food back there now we’re in bloody  dried fish fillet section super busy in here as well while we’re walking around looking for  what we’re going to eat we’re just going to   grab a quick hot because why not but I will say  these things have actually already been fried  

It looks like and then put on the side and then  they go back on which isn’t the greatest ever but   they might have been fried recently so we’ll  give them the benefit of the doubt and it’s   just a quick snack already have some amazing  hotteok here in Korea so Leesh loves hotteok

One yeah just one just one 1,500 okay okay just one we  just got 1,500 in cash you see oh okay put it in here okay there you go  okay perfect to be fair it’s still warm it’s  

Just not red Hot to be fair it doesn’t feel  it’s not like stone cold it is quite fresh I   imagine that many people buy them that  you’re never going to get them crap go

You might have to get the filling in the middle so  I’m going to get the good bit you get the end bit way oh it’s hot it’s still like lava inside  so we’ll try that middle bit smells like cinnamon everyone’s different that’s why it’s

Interesting really oily than the other ones have  cooked in oil obviously genius the fillings quite   good it’s like um caramel not as cinnamon as  other it’s all right it’s a quick snack oh yeah   that’s all right is it more like sugar not the  best but it’s all right so we’re going to head  

In and get some delicious food so actually  it wasn’t very good that hotteok I’m going   to say it I got to tell you the truth wasn’t  that good but it’s okay we soldier on we put   that behind us let’s get something new oh look  here they’ve got the icecream it’s shut today  

But they’ve got the um ice cream with a blow  torch marshmallow which I think it’s a lot of   crap a blow torch marshmallow get that in bin  oh look here She is again princess princess in   her arms so this is a common thing you’ll see  here in Korea especially in the market it’s  

Huge queue’s for stalls everyone’s queuing up  for this Makgeolli bread right you can see it   in there it’s a giant slice to be fair but you  know we don’t queue of things I believe everyone  

Is just as good pretty much so we’re going to go  next door to this man who sells three pieces of   the makgeolli bread for 5,000 and they’re like  smaller and rounder and they’re fresh freshly  

Steamed look at that and that’s so we get three of  these yeah so this is makgeolli bread is makgeolli   can we get three please we’ll get three of these  something there okay perfect so it’s 5,000 for 3  

And look you get them fresh out of there what  more can you ask for and it smells good just   smell good I have no idea what this is going  to taste like is it just going to taste like  

Bread or is it going to have like a bit of a  sweet makgeolli flavor I don’t know there we   go oh that’s something there thank you so much  oh it’s heavy that way I think we should try it  

Yeah go try it while it’s fresh and hot heavy  that oh that is heavy and it’s super hot oh [Music] wow it looks beautiful doesn’t it what’s  these on top I don’t even know what they are is it  

Some type of bean I don’t know some more there we  go look at that it’s like a it’s weird yeah like a   sponge let’s try it smells quite good it smells  like Makgeolli it’s got a bit of a fermented

Smell you know what I wasn’t expecting much but  it’s actually really nice and comforting it’s   like um super soft and like like we said spongy  but a little bit sweet this taste a little bit   little bit sweeted rice a little bit little  bit sour put those little bits on the [Music]

Top that’s well good cuz it’s steamed it’s so soft  look you just literally come off they are super fresh red beans on top I don’t know  what the green one is green beans I   like that that’s surprised me it is it’s  kind of like sweet and a bit salty not  

Too sweet what’s the what’s it like  though it reminds me of some like um   like a cake yeah like a cake that’s it  like a cake like a spongy cake texture it’s really good thank you that was really good  that I can’t fault it delicious hot fresh so yeah  

I’m unsure about this I’m unsure about the  crazy queues I mean I’m no Makgeolli bread   expert but I think everyone is just here to take  a picture of this that’s what I reckon just um   experience in these type of places everyone’s  always the same or like the the ones that no  

One goes to put a lot more like work into the  food cuz they they don’t have to because they   don’t have a reputation to oh I trying to say  I’m trying to say that the random places work   harder care about the quality because they don’t  have a reputation like people aren’t always going  

To go so they have to earn it we come across  another stand this place looks really good   so we’ve got various different pancakes what’s  this like a cabbage pancake this might be kimchi   we’re going to ask I’ve forgotten what this is  but everything’s like being cooked fresh there  

On the flat top so we’re going to check it  out what do you reckon Leesh I think this one   looks really good we’re hoping this is kimchi  pancake arent we I’m tempted to get that one  

As well which is like cabbage I can see you’re  making them there like pancake with a piece of cabbage Kimchi okay what do you Leesh we get  one of these one of these think or   one of them or one of these let’s get  one of these ones yeah which asking

And apparently everybody rubs its horns look you  can see where the outer is rubbed off let’s see   if anyone’s rubbed his balls cuz I heard if  you rub his balls you get some strength there   we go rubbing the balls balls wonder if anyone’s  ever done that before maybe I’ve started a trend  

Everyone who comes here now please rub its  balls makes you stronger that’s what I heard anyway here we go this is the spot I don’t know  what this is I don’t know if it’s a chain place  

Or an independent place or what I have no idea  but they sell gimbab so we’re going to get some f   here check this out we got an absolute Feast going  on here so we’ve got a fresh fried shrimp gimbap  

Like breaded shrimp and I’m telling you what the  fried fresh we all come out they look fantastic so   they’re all wrapped up in there look at that that  looks so good and Leesh got like a soft tofu stew

We’ve got ourselves out of megacity Seoul and today we’re in Sokcho on South Korea’s Northeast coast.

We spent the morning in the abai village which was a north Korean refugee village back in the day, here we had some heavenly naengmyeon cold noodles with dried raw gochujang pollock.

Then we checked out the beautiful beach here in the city which was actually really nice before going to eat the famous Sokcho squid soondae. We went to a little place outside the market that makes everything fresh and she even gave us a pumpkin sikhye as a gift.

The rest of the day was spent eating more delicious Korean street food in Sokcho market before heading to another little food spot for some freshly fried shrimp gimbap and some tofu stew! Yeah we flipping love Korean food.

Sokcho is a beautiful little city you’ve got mountains, coast, good food and people what’s not to love 🇰🇷
