Bangsan Market 방산시장 Baking Street

Home-baking can be certain in Korea, if you know where to get all the proper tools and supplies.

Visit Baker’s Alley in Bangsan Market in Jung-go, near Dongdaemun. Here, baking enthusiasts like me can find everything related to baking and cooking. From hard-to-find ingredients, bakeware accessories and cooking utensils, cake and cookie deco and packaging items, to tons of kitchen appliances, including mixers and ovens; all at affordable prices!

But all the prices in the shops are competitive; so when you buy in bulk or buy an expensive or imported product, make sure you haggle the price down to try to get the best deal possible, especially on big ticket items; other merchants are usually more than happy to lower the price with a friendly smile.
