InsideAsia serves up 'Culinary Korea' cultural adventure

Designed to satisfy the food enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike, this new itinerary delves into the diverse flavours and mouthwatering culinary traditions unique to South Korea. 

InsideAsia Tour’s Senior South Korea Product Executive, Rebecca Barry, said this trip is an exciting mix of food, culture and adventure – taking in the country’s vibrant traditions and breathtaking landscapes. 

“This itinerary really is a cultural, culinary adventure like no other – with the perfect blend of hands-on cooking experiences, market visits and cultural immersion,” Rebecca said.

“When we set out to design this trip, we really wanted to showcase the diversity of South Korea, from hyper-modern Seoul to the jumbling alleyways of sea-front Busan, ultra-traditional Jeonju and into the more rural, mountainous side of the country.  

“What may people don’t realise is that Korea is known for far more than its KBBQ and craft beer – it’s home to some of the world’s biggest markets serving up a range of local delicacies from the famous bibimbap rice bowl to fried pancake, rice wine, and so much more.” 

Over 13-days, this trip explores the bright lights of Seoul, historic Jeonju, Yeosu’s litany of vibrant Pocha tent restaurants, tangerines of Jeju Island and coastal Busan offering a trail street-food in this newly crowned Michelin city. 

“In a country where collectivism is central to culture, food serves as a way to develop and fortify relationships and is one of the best ways for travellers to feel part of a bigger experience.

“There’s something profoundly special about Korea’s communal dining culture that cultivates a deep sense of deep connection, a concept locally known as jeong.”
