Pohang Mulhoe :-ㅇ

The highlight of Jukdo Market is the food called Mulhoe!

Pohang is famous as the origin of Mulhoe. People in Pohang started to eat mulhoe, and it spread to the whole country because of its tasty. So, We can enjoy the food called mulhoe everywhere.

Mulhoe is a type of sashimi, prepared by mincing fish or squid straight from the water, mixed with  leek onion, garlic, chili powder, etc. And cold water is poured over it along with ice cubes.

There are two stories about the origin. First, some people say that mulhoe was started by fishermen. They were too busy to have meals because of a big catch. So, they had to start to pour water over the fish and they ate them without chewing a lot.

Others say that fishermen started to have it for a hangover. They drank a lot last night and they wanted to relieve a hangover. But there is nothing to eat. So, they poured water and rice in fish.

We don’t know how it started exactly, But We should thank for the fishermen because they made it!

Visit Jukdo Market and enjoy coooool mulhoe :-)

It consists of Korean beef, shiitake mushroom and pen shells. All ingredients are produced in Jangheung. It is more famous on a national scale when Korean TV show ‘One Day Two Nights’ introduced it.

The way you enjoy it is very simple. You choose one of bucher’s shops, buy specific parts of beef you want and enter the restaurant which has a sign ‘Samhap’. It’s done!

Where are the mushrooms and shells? The restaurant employee will prepare them with a hot grill.

[Enjoy KOREA] Suwon Hwaseong Fortress & Hwaseong Haenggung

[Enjoy KOREA] 

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress & Hwaseong Haenggung

There is a special statue in front of Paldalmun market, Suwon. It is a statue of King Jeongjo, which pours out a drink. Who is the King Jeongjo? He was the 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty and constructed the Suwon Hwaseong, a UNESCO World Heritage. It isn’t surprising at all that his statue is in front of the market because he made a symbol of Suwon.

Why did King Jeongjo order to construct the Suwon Hwanseong Fortress? There were multiple reasons for it. The most important reason was King Jeongjo's filial piety to his father. It started from the decision of King Jeongjo to move the tomb of his father, Sadoseja who had died a miserable death.  But, there were other reasons: his political strategy to eradicate faction struggles and establish the king-led politics; use of it as a fortress of national defense to the south.

Hwaseong Haenggung is a palace located outside of Seoul where king used to stay when he visited his father’s tomb near it. While the king didn’t stay there, it was used as a kind of office. When night falls and the lights are lit, you can see lots of people enjoy the atmosphere and take pictures of it.

Especially, this is the place of filming of a popular Korean drama, Great Janggeum and a Korean movie, The Royal Jester. It is so popular because it offers a good composition of pictures. If you wanna experience the scene of film, Visit here and enjoy Paldalmun market :-)

[Enjoy Food] The street of Chickens in Suwon

The street of roasted whole chicken in Paldalmun market

 Paldalmun market has a famous street in it, which was broadcast by Korean three main broadcasting companies.  It is the street of roasted whole chicken. If you pass through market entrance, you can smell a spicy fragrance and it makes your mouth water :-P

The chicken made in the street is different from other chickens, because it is fried in a caldron. The staffs are busy frying delicious chickens. Can you feel the heat?

Korean might recall their childhood when they see this chicken. In the past, the father came home from his work with chicken wrapped papers, and then his family sat around and ate it. They felt happy just with a chicken. We guess lots of people can recall their memory as well as enjoy the taste in consideration of the fact that average 1,500 chickens are sold in the market these days.

Do you wanna enjoy Korean style chicken? 

If you so, Visit Paldalmun market, SUWON :)

Paldalmun Market, Suwon

If you visit Suwon, you can experience lots of things made by King Jungjo in the Joseon Dynasty. Especially, the Paldalmun is very beautiful, which seems to be carved a glorious history on each stone. 

King Jungjo made a market in Paldalmun, a south gate of Hwaseong Fortress, to realize a dream of prosperity and military power by developing commerce at that time. So, we can guess that Paldalmun market is so valuable place. 

He called vendors together and they assemble at the market. The vendors were mercantilists who thought Joseon Dynasty can get national prosperity and military power through commerce and industry.

As you know, Paldalmun market is the oldest market in Suwon. You don’t need to worry that the market is decrepit or the products go out of fashion because of long history.

There are around 250 shops in the market, and a lot of tourists visit here since the market was selected as a culture tourism oriented traditional market in 2011. The surprising thing is that there are many clothing stores in the market like Dongdaemun, Seoul. You can buy clothes, shoes and accessories at a low price.

Paldalmun market, where the King Jungjo’s political, economic and social achievements are alive,  will give you a special memory :-)
