01 ｜Visit

 Gwangju’s traditional market,

 We are here at Malbau market!

 

Tip, Malbau market has 2, 4, 7 and 9 as their market days.

Refer to this!

 

 

 Because we visited in the evening

 There were not many people

 So we could comfortably walk around and take a look.

 

 Here, they had everything.

 We are only at the entrance of the market but I was already so excited

 In fact, I was hungry as soon as I entered

so I bought some snack.

  

The 20 years traditional home-made Dumplings and Jjinbbang, steamed bun with red bean paste filling, caught my eyes.

 Doughnut, Jjinbbang and Dumplings,

 Everything sounded good but people were eating more Dumplings,

 

 I bought some Dumplings too.

 Dumplings and Jjinbbangs are steamed at that place

 You can have them warm.

 Top one is Meat Dumplings

Bottom one is Kimchi Dumplings.

  You can ask to mix

 It is 2500 won.

 The taste is way delicious!!!

 

 There are Jokbal, Soup rice, and Sundae…!!

 It was tempting, but had to eat dinner later so

 I resisted…

 

 Soup rice and Jokbal…

 Unfortunately, I’ll have to come next time.

 If you come to the Malbau Market (east) there are foodattheentrance

 so you cannot just pass by.

 

 There are some fish cakes… I should have had dinner there…

 It is so hard. lol

 

 It wasn’t a busy time

 So it was easy to take pictures

 Come at the right time!

 

 A lot of things were being sold in this market.

 There are variety of things

 You might shop by an instinct..

 

 They gave some traditional snacks,

 There was no time for my mouth to rest.

 

Plates, grains, stores, Bakery etc…

  There is everything you expected and unexpected, too.

 We got off at the Malbau Sijang (West)

 So we didn’t know where the entrance was

 

 Malbau is actually bigger than I thought so there are bus stops here and there

 Out of other bus stops, I recommend getting off at Malbau Sijang (East)

 So that you can take a look from the main gate.

 

If you get out at Malbau Sijang (East) stop,

you can get into the main gate of the market.
