South Korea Trip: Jeonju Hanok Village


Jeonju Hanok Village


We started our trip buying street food^^
꼬치 means barbecue sticks. There are various type of BBQ: 
octopus, chicken, beef with different taste: original, spicy, etc.
We tried the spicy octopus BBQ and it was delicious.


The hanok (korean traditional house) could be seen around. 
Some of them are newly renovated.
We could rent hanbok (korean traditional clothes) for $5 per hour and walk on the street to feel the culture. 
Not only for woman but also for man.



Ten mins walking, we found the Jeondong Catholic church.
One of the oldest one in South Korea.



For lunch, we ate bibimbap (mixed rice).
Bibimbap is one of the famous food from this area.
One for $10.
All side dishes are free and we could ask for refill too.


Next destination, Gyeonggijeon shrine, which is not far from restaurant.
To enter, we need to pay $3 per person (adult).









Inside the shrine's museum, there are photos of Korean Kings.




Before leaving, we tried other famous food from Jeonju Hanok village.
호떡 is a Korean pancake originally filled with sugar or honey, peanuts and cinnamon.
So sweet..but tasty
There are also another filling, like cheese and garlic.


We also tried famous homemade dumplings. 
However, we finished them all without taking pics.
So delicious!
We ate almost all kinds of dumplings: meat, meat-shrimps, vegetables, fried dumplings.
PS: Best to my taste is meat-shrimp-filled dumplings.

There are also many other famous food that we didn't try such as: 
*떡갈비 or korean hamburger patty 
(I ate it in other place, the taste is sweeter compare to hamburger patty)
*chocolate pie
*칼국수 or korean noodle soup
*fruit filled sticky rice cake
(we could find it anywhere, but local people said it is famous in this area)
