The main reason to go to the traditional market is tasting cheap and delicious and various foods. am I right? 😀

Finally, I found it, then give it a shot. I made it out ~ Haha

So, If you visit there, just try this food. It is very reasonable price, and you would be surprise by the amount of the foods.

The first one is Janchi Guksu(Korean warm noodle soup) which is a simple warm noodle dish made with thin wheat flour noodles that are usuaully in a clear anchovy or beef broth.
