To our pleasant surprise, lunch turned out to be a most lovely experience.

I had an instant good feeling when I stepped into Leaves & Fishes. The design is airy, cozy, stylish, yet relaxed, and the best part is that there’s a patio overlooking a tranquil lake – what a perfect spot to sit out on a day like this.

[Seoul] Eating Live Octopus at Noryangjin Fish Market

On our third day in Seoul, we visited Noryagjin Fish Market (鷺梁津水産市場/노량진수산시장), the city’s largest market for marine products. This 66,000 square meter facility houses over 700 shops selling fresh and dried fish and other seafood from 15 fishing ports around Korea. It was quite disorienting to face so many stalls selling so many different types of seafood (many of which I do not recognize), but I only had one goal to complete that day – eat octopus, alive.

Enough with chic cafes, it’s time to get local.
