Market Blue is situated in Tanglin Mall, right next to the newly-opened specialty Korean bagel shop, B For Bagel. Here you can find just about anything, from a ramyeon “library” stocked with various types of individual ramyeon packets, each priced at $2 so you can try different flavours without having to buy the entire pack. There’s also a butchery where you can get various cuts of meat, and an in-house brewery where they make their very own makgeolli.

The market also boasts unique dining experiences like KBBQ from Gogipan, which is grilled meats served on hot stone plates. For something lighter, opt for their bunsik section with various Korean street-style bites including tteokbokki, fried chicken and more. They also have baekban, which refers to traditional home-style Korean cooking that comes with a main, soup, and a variety of side dishes. Currently they’re having a promotion on their baekban Daily Lunch Platter at $19.90 per person (UP. $24.90), with a minimum of 2 persons. You can also look forward to a bakery where you can get boxes of kkwabaegi, or twisted Korean doughnuts!
