We love Fish Market adventures! Day 3, we went to the fish market. It’s not as nice as the one in Tokyo, though I always remind the family to stop comparing Korea to Japan or else we will continue to be disappointed!

The vendors have this can with charcoal to keep them warm! I just stood beside this because it was super cold!!
Jaime told me that Koreans eat octopus live!! I wonder if this is it!
Live crab that we bought
Cleaning the fish and making it into sashimi
We were looking for Toro! We found but it is not the same as the one in Japan
After shopping for the seafood, we went to the restaurant that cooked all the stuff that we bought. They charge for the cooking
We wanted tempura but our tour guide made a mistake
This was the BEST!!! The crab!!!!!! SUPER! I wish we had just bought more of this and just had crabs! Everything else was not so great, but the crab was delicious! It was around US$ 160.00 for this crab and Dad said that if you had this in New York, it would cost US$ 750.00!
Our tour guide Nana was great!! She even knew how to cut the crab! She also enjoyed the crab and all the food with us
Soup made out of the fish head and bones which was made into sashimi! Very good!
A friend told us that Japanese food in Korea is quite expensive in general, what more a Japanese restaurant in a hotel. The food was good and the ambience was perfect…is it really worth it? I would probably just eat Korean food while in Korea and maybe not eat in the hotel
While we were driving from the hotel and made a turn, we saw DIN TAI FUNG!!! Everyone got excited!! So we reserved for lunch! It’s the best looking one I have seen among all, too bad my photos of the restaurant interiors were corrupted. Mostly everyone said that the Xiao long bao was not the same, but James said it was the same. So he enjoyed! I liked my frozen yogurt dessert
I told my Mom, we will attempt to go to Din Tai Fung in every country it is in
