Korea Busan free and EAsy : Jalgachi fish market

Evening time it was quite quiet. Think shops close around early evening.

Look at the poor octopus left on the floor by accident.. :(

Lively Octopus.

We squeak and the old lady sitting there was so amused. 

OUr meal that cost around s$50.

seafood was fresh and yummy.

The raw ones taste better as the steamed ones were a bit dried.

Small abalone at s$2-5 dollars

we usually have the oyster raw in singapore. They seems to don't mind us eating it steamed but they were quite upset when we suggested steaming the octopus.

Delicious side dishes too.

We went there in the morning and it was so much more lively and hawkers were all out peddling fresh seafood. 

 

We enjoyed the seafood that we went back for a second round.

Is also quite accessible.

Just take the train to Jalgachi fish market.

Their bread is very delicious.

warm and chewy.

Escargots with butter and garlic.

My first attempt at Escargots, a bit chewy.

I ate the duck confit.. the skin is crisy and the meat is tender but slight chewy.

Not for you if you do not like to chew

My sister said her chicken in red wine is very tender.

Kahlua Souffle, double chocolate ice cream..

The waiter pour the cream in the souffle and then is ready to be consumed..

The chocolate ice cream is not very sweet but the Souffle is crispy and creamy.

Interesting.
