Yet one more post about rice cakes

In one of my previous posts I mentioned receiving a box with the yummiest rice cakes ever. As the box came with an address, I decided to follow it up together with Bruno. We had indications from one of our korean colleagues and a map, so we thought it will be easy. Well, nothing is easy when written in korean. Our first mistake was taking the wrong subway exit, followed by roaming around and around and around... til arriving back at the same subway station, getting in (yes, we had to tap again), and getting out on the right exit. Eventually, we reached the place... and, yes, it definitely was worth it!!





As the place is really famous, many of the cakes were sold out. This actually proved to be a blessing as we didn't have to choose and just tried them all. Trust me, otherwise we would still be there with me trying to make up my mind (me with a lot of choices is a bad idea).

After the rice cakes tasting, we went to an area called Insadong. The main touristic attraction is a street full of traditional tea and coffee shops, and lots of small stores selling antiques, art supplies, souvenirs.

There is also some multilevel gallery that looks pretty nice:





We called it a night after having a really tasty dinner at a traditional korean restaurant:
