Solo Food Tour in Seoul

This is my second solo trip to Seoul! On this trip, I made sure to enjoy soy sauce marinated crab (ganjang gejang), café hopping (visiting places like Onion, Bready Post, and Cafe Kitchen 205), porridge, samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), fried chicken, solo Korean BBQ, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) and sannakji (live octopus). I had an amazing time! Korea is super solo-traveler friendly, and the portions aren't too big! Well, except for the fried chicken 😂. You might think, "Fried chicken? We have that in Japan too," but Korean fried chicken is completely different—super crispy and packed with flavor! There are even places where you can enjoy samgyetang and BBQ alone! This time, I visited a restaurant called Soso Galbi and another called Tosokchon. At the BBQ place, as soon as you sit down, they automatically serve you a single portion of meat. That’s the only item on the menu—so simple and straightforward! Café hopping in Korea is also a lot of fun! At Hyundai Department Store, there are bakeries and cake shops all in one place, so you can try a variety of things at once. I even bought some bread to take back home! For breakfast, I had porridge 🥣. The sea urchin and abalone porridge were absolutely delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed Korean cuisine to the fullest 🇰🇷.
