Pulau Tikus Hawker Centre
1 saveRecommendation by Lemi
Pulau Tikus Hawker Centre comes to life at night after the Market hubbub has died down. Various stalls overflow with tempting scents from bubbling soups and piping hot pans. Have a fun D.I.Y. dinner at the lok lok (“dip-dip”) stall! Feast with friends and take turns dipping your choice of meat (or vegetables) into the boiling hot pot. There are around 30 kinds of skewers and five different sauces to choose from—with a load of combinations to test out. Remember: no double dipping!
Jalan Burma, Pulau Tikus, George Town, Penang, Malaysia

Shanghai Fried Siopao
The best fried siopao for me, and the best thing: it is only 30 pesos a piece. A pack of four, of course, only costs P120. Best eaten hot. But you can reheat at home and still delicious. Their small stall in Ongpin also has other goodies for takeaway like quekiam, hopia and other nibbles.
Gwangjang Market
Great stop for a casual lunch. Everything was pretty cheap, and the food was standardized so you could really just pull up a chair anywhere. All the stall ladies are nice, anyway. We tried kalguksu, soondae, and binddaetteok—enjoyed everything. Dongdaemun Market also had lots of stores that sell Korean snacks.
Gwangjang Market
Gwangjang Market was an absolute jungle but it's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss when you're in Seoul. Forgive the lack of photos, but I got so overwhelmed with the chaos that I wasn't able to take proper snaps of the place. I just kept walking 😅 We were able to try Yoonsun Cho's famous knife-cut noodles and her meat and kimchi dumplings. If you saw the Seoul episode of Netflix's Street Food series, you'd know exactly who she is. Another Gwangjang Market staple: mung bean pancakes. We actually skipped these because by the time we spotted them, we were already too full. Oh well, more reason to come back!
