5.00We had a lovely time at the market thanks to Chef Yie! He was very knowledgeable about food and made sure we enjoyed the best of Korea’s traditional vegetarian dishes. We loved that he was a ‘VIP’ and could not only order for us, but also cut the line. He taught us about Korean drinking traditions which was fun! On top of it all, he was a very friendly and easy-going person. It was wonderful to hear all about his international travels. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to everyone (even meat eaters)!
