We roamed around Hongdae and we passed by this busy stall that sells fried chicken with cheese. We needed to eat a little snack and being the cheese freaks that we are, we gave in and got ourself a cup. A lot of people were lining up when we arrived. I had to line up on the right side of the stall to order and waited for my number to be called on the left side.

We visited Hongdae on our third day in Seoul. We wanted to eat a lot of street food and dessert so we just had light lunch at Choigozip Korean BBQ Hongdae. It’s located just outside of the exit of the train station.

We found this place because it’s just below James Cheese Ribs in Myeongdong. We were about to have our pre-wedding shoot that afternoon so we needed to eat lunch early. They were open early and we saw that a lot of Koreans eat here so we decided to give this place a try.
