Near Seoul’s Paldal Market in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, there’s a "Chidong Market," where dozens of "blood sausage specialty shops" line the first floor. Business is booming—almost every table has a "spicy stir-fried blood sausage hot pot" bubbling away, making mouths water.

When I came to the "Suwon Nam Gate Market" near the famous scenic spot "Paldalmun" in Suwon, I peeked at the small stall and looked along the smoke. There was a huge crowd in front of the steamed bun shop. Due to time pressure, I had to give up.
