I went on a two-day trip to Seoul with my mom, focusing on crafts and traditional culture in the Anguk area. We started with a delicious dried pollock soup for breakfast, then explored the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, which was beautifully renovated and offered unique souvenirs. We also visited several charming general stores like OIMU, meego craft, and object Samcheong, where I bought a cute book cover. Lunch was a highly anticipated bossam and bibim-myeon, followed by a visit to OWM Pharmacy where I found a popular patch for my mom. A highlight was Pyunkang Yul Flagship & Tea House, a serene spot for herbal tea and skincare. We did some shopping in another area, though it was before sale season. Our last dinner was a strongly recommended ganjang gejang in Myeongdong, which was incredibly flavorful. On our final morning, we enjoyed a luxurious breakfast at THE 22 Namdaemun Bakery with a great city view before heading to the airport. This trip allowed me to discover a new, more relaxed side of Seoul with my mom. — Seoul · Anguk

I visited this popular spot for a classic Korean breakfast, enjoying the gentle and flavorful dried pollock soup, which was even more delicious when mixed with rice.
