In the quest for some culinary adventure head to the second floor of the 32nd Street food court in K-Town. Look for woman with the straw hat manning a food stand on the left side. This is Dadam where Korean food comes alive with dishes like stir-fried spicy squid packed with plenty of heat, bibibmap made with assorted mushroom, sliced pig feet and even a Korean hot dog. There are soups, including one made with ox knee bone, another with Korean sausage and along with duck in chicken-feet broth. Snails, meanwhile, find their way into a stew made fermented tofu. There's marinated fried chicken as well as sweet pumpkin porridge. Let the adventure begin!
