:) Nambu night market opens Fri and Sat nights only.. till 11pm i believe.
Food wise: A variety of Street food.. there are many vendors recreating new menus from tradition korean food too. Prices varies but its no more than ₩10,000/ item/ store. We shared about 9 different items... totaling to ₩45,500. Some stores do accept credit cards. #recommend
Atmosphere: Buzzing with people and activities. The aroma of the food just permeates the air.. :)
Tips: Stores do provide disposible cutleries but u can reuse as we walk and eat... #sustenability #savetheearth #1chopstickatatime U can disposble the finished plates/ trays into the different vendor's bin or dustbins located at the sides..they are not as particular as japan's street markets..but i suggest u carry a plastic bag to throw the trash in and disposing that at the end of your food journey... the bins are usually full and overflowing. While the vendors do accept credit cards.. cash is still king. Easiest to just have cash in the pockets to pay and all. Have enough tissues and wet wipes in your pockets as well. Very crowded... bring as little bags and stuff as u can so that your bags dont hit others or hook onto things. :) stay safe, eat more...
