Best Culinary Day Tour in Seoul

Thanks to the popularity of TV miniseries "Daejanggeum: Jewel in the Palace" throughout Asia, the interest in Korean cuisine is at an all-time high. For this edition, we headed to Samcheonggak to learn about the Korean tea ceremony and taste traditional royal cuisine. Samcheonggak offered much more than a mere lunch: it was an enriching cultural experience. 
Afterwards, we were off to the popular traditional alleys of Insa-dong, where we found a traditional rice cake café Jilsiru and ordered some beautiful Korean rice cakes and a beverage. How about some Korean cookies? We found a traditional Korean cookie shop called Sanchon Saramdeul right next to Jilsiru. A bag of traditional cookies was a unique experience in itself. 
After trying out a variety of local traditional foods, it was time for some great Korean snack foods enjoyed by the younger generation. Late in the afternoon, we found dozens of street stalls called pojangmacha lining the street of Jongno. Here, we indulged in an assortment of snack foods that are both inexpensive and delicious. Like a standing buffet, it means eating shoulder to shoulder with other people, but even this cramped experience seemed to be a part of the Korean culture.
