Description

Are you ready to experience the delicious chaos of Seoul at night? Forget boring history lectures. This is a culinary adventure that combines authentic food tasting with Korea's legendary drinking culture. We start our journey in the historic Jongno district, the heart of classic Seoul. Step 1: The Royal Appetizer We kick off at a local favorite restaurant to taste Bossam (tender boiled pork wraps), a dish traditionally served to kings. Pair it with fresh Kimchi and your first taste of Makgeolli (traditional rice wine) while learning about the Joseon Dynasty's food culture. Step 2: Gwangjang Market Tour Next, we hit the world-famous Gwangjang Market. You'll dive straight into the best street food spots featured on Netflix. Savor the crispy Bindaetteok, addictive Mayak kimbap, spicy Tteokbokki, and more. Your guide will share the hidden stories behind these iconic snacks. Step 3: Ultimate Food Fighter Here, the real fun begins. We'll order a table full of food. Learn how to mix the perfect ratio of soju and beer, play hilarious Korean drinking games, and bond with your fellow travelers. It's the perfect way to make new friends from around the world. Come hungry, leave happy (and maybe a little tipsy)!
