The Ultimate Korean Bibimbap and Attractions in Jeonju (Day 7)

On Day 7 in South Korea, my wife and I were in Jeonju, South Korea. For lunch we had the ultimate version of Korean bibimbap, which is rice mixed salad, and a dish Jeonju is very famous for. For the remainder of the day, we visited some of the most famous attractions in Jeonju.
00:41 300Zip (삼백집) for breakfast - We woke up in the morning and started off the day with a trip to a famous restaurant called 300Zip (삼백집) to eat a Korean Jeonju dish called gukbap, which is a bean sprout and rice soup. The soup included rice, bean sprouts, eggs, sesame seeds, and some other small vegetables. Additionally it was served with another fried egg on the side. It was a soothing way to start the morning in Jeonju.
3:57 Lunch at Gajok Hoegwan (가족회관) - For lunch we went to this restaurant which is legendary in Jeonju for serving an original version of bibimbap, Korean mixed rice salad. The bibimbap cost 12,000 Won ($10.05) per person, and it included an unbelievable mixture of colorful toppings. I thought it was amazing to watch them making the bibimbap, all within brass personal pans, heated on the stove at just the right temperature, and all the ingredients delicately added to the bibimbap. It was one of the best versions of bibimbap I’ve ever had. It was so simple, yet because of the variety of ingredients and the combination, that’s what made it complex.
10:51 Jeonju Hanok Village - One of the most famous things to do in Jeonju is to walk around the Jeonju Hanok Village, the old village of the city. It’s one of the main attractions that people from all over Korea come to see and experience. There are many things to do within the Jeonju Hanok Village including lots of snacks and restaurants, a hand made paper factory, all sorts of museums, and a number of shrines. Another one of the highlights of visiting the hanok village is to get dressed up in traditional Korean hanbok clothing, and walk around and take photos. So Ying and I rented costumes and walked around. The best Korean snack I had while walking around the village was an skewer of grilled octopus covered in cheese. I never thought the combination would go together so well, but somehow it worked really well.
23:18 Gyodong Tteokgalbi (교동 떡갈비) Restaurant - For dinner we ate at a restaurant within the Jeonju Hanok Village known for serving tteokgalbi, which is a Korean dish of minced short ribs, marinated and grilled on your tabletop. It was my first time to have this Korean dish, and along with all the different side dishes and vegetables, it was delicious.
Day 7 in Korea was an amazing day of visiting attractions in Jeonju and eating one of the most complex and delicious bowls of Korean bibimbap that I’ve ever tried.

I love how most of the food in Korea is healthy. You glow from all the delicious home cooked meals after having their diet! ❤️

[@triniluh8292]

+Gabriel Chiang glow in the dark lol

[@jlebrech]

the glow is from the MSG afterburn

[@khoalatoi6966]

Japan is the most place have heathy food not korean

[@user-py8xm4wv6n]

Korea is world's Leading creative class country , food and the technology, I have to say Korea is #1

[@MrMaskBrothers]

I totally agree with Jdavid

[@sfdanceron1]

I must confess, I didn't realize Korea has so much beauty. After this video, I suspect a couple thousand people are packing their bags. South Korea is definitely a place to visit. The food looks amazing, too.

[@tiger21823]

Agreed

[@noseefood1943]

video makes it look good. in reality, the traffic/smog is hell, and sooo crowded.

[@mikek1635]

+Noseefood only big cities like Seoul. Small towns and country side are beautiful. I miss living in Korea.

[@seoulinsider3021]

agree ~~fantastic country

[@MasonWestWriting]

I had the pleasure of living in Korea for two years. I was in a city called Daejeon about an hour by bullet train south of Seoul. Daejeon''s population is 1.5 million (Wikipedia), and pollution was never an issue for me. I traveled and saw many wonderful places in ROK. I ate a lot of wonderful food, too, but after watching Mark Wiens's videos I regret that I did not get even deeper into it than I did.

[@cshgdchagi]

After watching a few videos of Mark, I've learned how to know whether he really likes what he's eating or not.

[@syedabeli]

cshgdchagi when he leans to his right means it's really yummy!

[@youngbilly1001]

Me too you can tell whether he enjoys it or not

[@rafikasherly7764]

i think mark use a tripod to record his video

[@Al-ji6cg]

It's teamwork. This is their work and they each have a job to do. Mark eats and she records. She, of course, also eats but it's off camera.

[@melonaolano579]

[@duallove6909]

I've totally enjoyed this one. Thank you. Lin looked stunning in that traditional costum. I think she felt that too. She seemed like a little girl wearing her first princess dress.

Mark and his wife looked beautiful in the traditional Korean clothing. I also like the bloopers at the end of the video.

[@Saki0chan0]

I've been always thought not to look at people while they are eating....but watching you eat is just addicting!!! can't have enough of you!!!

[@sfkjn2311]

Guess I'm not the only one who comes home from work looking forward to another vlog. What could it be today? This was another outstanding video. Big thumbs up!

[@NurseMickiLea]

Ying looked so beautiful in her costume.

[@AlqGo]

I visited Korea once in the winter and the thing I like about Korea is there's something mysterious about the environment that makes you feel very, very relaxing or laid back.

[@jimmy89858307]

Jeonju city looks so beautiful. I am looking forward to visiting Jeonju soon. Thank you, Mark!

[@thenoseypanda]

We just returned from a visit to Jeonju based on this video! We ate the Bibimbap at Gajok Hoegwan and loved it, especially all the Banchan and the Egg Souffle. We made a mistake at Grandma's and accidentally ordered the hot sweet bean soup instead of the shaved ice version. The clerk didn't speak English and she thought I was pointing to the hot version. Oh well, it was still good. And you are correct. All the tourists were carrying boxed of PNB boxes with Chcopie. I didn't realize there were a variety of flavors. Thanks for all the tips!

[@notmyworld44]

How could anyone NOT love these videos!? This is some of the classiest stuff on the internet. Thanks Mark and Ying!

[@janievan1]

So glad u told Ying she was beautiful when wearing the outfit! She is such a lovely lady.

[@wwre5579]

I like the sound of crunching bite of vegetables

[@neworx]

I was with my wife in Jeonju in 2015. i think it was the best bibimbap i ever ate. thank you for this great video mark.

When Mark takes a spoonful and moved to his right side - the food is delicious and palatable Whereas when he take in a spoon and do hmmmm that means - that food isn’t 100% delicious lol. Love your videos.

[@amyrivers9792]

You both looked so gorgeous in your outfits. Ying looked so sweet and really young. Mark you certainly married the prettiest girl in Bangkok. Both of you have lovely welcoming smiles. We don't often get to meet and be friends with really good people like you, Ying and Micah. Right from the start I knew your family were down to earth, open hearted people. I think if we all lived near each other I'd be honoured to call you both friends.

Even though I am a Korean, I have not been the city yet. However, I really love every food on this video. I am in the US; I really miss my Korean food. i want to go back to Korea to meet my friends and family, and eat delicious and beautiful Korean food.

bibimbab is also healthy for you with all those vegetables

[@isaaccheung1843]

But also goes perfectly well with ‘Gochujang’ sauce.

[@eilselalina]

I never get bored with your videos, Mark. And even though I'm already full, once I watch your videos, it's like I never had my meal. The quality of your videos are real good and always tempting. Keep up the good work.

[@sinfonian3]

Mark, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. After seeing you in Korea, I’ve finally decided to subscribe. Korea is my second home. I lived there for eight years and I love to see people experience the culture first hand. I love how respectful you are and how eager you are to try all the different food and cultural experiences! I wish more people were as open minded as you are when you travel. I love to travel and have been to several countries and have also had countless beautiful cultural exchanges with the locals because I’ve been open to experience what they have to offer. I wish you nothing less than continued blessings as you bring the world to our screens and I hope to cross paths with you one day and share a meal. Thank you for sharing your open mind, beautiful soul and heart with us all.

As soon as you mixed Bibimbap with chopsticks... I'm like... "This guy is just....... Professional" Btw that's one really beautiful Hanbok that lady is wearing. The layer and the silkiness, the pattern is incredible. I've seen many Hanbok but that one is really pretty.
