Bupyeong Market gradually became packed with restaurants as the laborers working at the Jagalchi Market and the nearby wharfs looked for places to eat. In the 1980s, pig’s trotter became available at relatively affordable prices at the market, which marked the beginning of what has become known as Pig’s Trotter Alley. One thing special about the pig’s trotter at the Bupyeong Market is that unlike any other places in Korea, it is served as a salad along with vegetables. In addition, whole chicken served after being deep-fried in a cast-iron pot is a must-try dish at the market. It is incomparably delicious, huge, and cheap.
