Food
- Oil Toppokki
Tongin market’s most famous food is Oil Toppokki. Unlike other toppokki, Oil Toppokki has no water, just fry in oil.
There are two types in Oil Toppokki, one is red pepper paste, the other is soy sauce. If you hard to eat spicy food, I recommend soy sauce Oil Toppokki.
The price is 3000won for one portion, one fried food is service.
Food
- Packed Lunch Cafe
Tongin market has a packed lunch cafe. Change money to coin that called ‘yeopjeon’, and buy side dish that you want to eat with a coin.
Buy side dishes mainly vegetables for vegetarian, if not Buy side dishes what you want to eat. So it is good place for eat delicious food and experience Korean food.
Most people, enough to eat lunch by 6000won. Rice and soup are 1000won, and side dish is 500won or 1000won. I recommend laver, joen, and rib for side dishes.
