Cakes
Cassava cakes, one of the most beloved Filipino desserts, are quite popular at the market as well as the Filipino egg tart cakes (pictured above). Soft and moist, these cakes are available at several vendors.
One of the most publicized foreign markets in Seoul, the Sunday Filipino Market is the go-to place for Filipinos, Koreans and other travelers who are missing the sunny atmosphere of the Western Pacific archipelago. Though the market itself isn’t large and consists of a string of vendors outside of Hyehwa Station, there’s a range of authentic Filipino foods such as balut (boiled fertilized duck egg, a common street food in Southeast Asia), spring rolls, stir-fry, desserts and more. Hard-to-find products, such as sauces and canned ingredients for Filipino dishes, can be found here as well. Most importantly, the spot serves as a meeting point for those in the community and the nearby Woori Bank even caters to the foreigners in the community by opening especially on Sundays for foreigners only (9am–4pm).
