It's famous for 'sobobeok,' a bun made by stuffing various fillings into a streusel bread. This time I also checked out their newly launched boneless fried chicken, various breads, and ready-made foods. ![Boneless fried chicken packed for takeout from Daroa Dongbu Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-02-q8818-966.webp) What stood out most was the fried chicken cooked to order right after you place it, at a really affordable price. They also had a good variety of today's bread like red bean bread, cream bread, and sweet pea paste bread, making it a great stop for a snack or a simple meal. ![Packaged instant tripe soup purchased from Daroa](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-03-uwv6i-966.webp) On top of that, they sell ready-made foods like tripe soup at low prices, so it was a nice place to pick up something to eat while wandering around the market. Overall, a solid Daroa visit. ## Walking into Dongbu Market from Jungnang Station to reach Daroa Today I stopped briefly at Jungnang Dongbu Market right after my workout. ![Street view of Jungnang Dongbu Market while strolling around](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-04-jenx1-966.webp) It's only one stop from Hoegi, but this place definitely has a stronger sense of everyday local life. The weather was nice today, so I ended up walking over to Daroa, a favorite spot in Dongbu Market. ![Exterior of the Daroa storefront inside Dongbu Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-05-16ad1-966.webp) ![Entrance and signage of Daroa Dongbu Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-06-10as2-966.webp) It's a bakery specializing in a menu called 'sobobeok,' which stuffs streusel bread with various ingredients, sort of like a burger. ![Sobobeok menu item made by filling streusel bread with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-07-62mmd-966.webp) I had it once before and it definitely had its own charm. Seemed like a good choice for kids' meals or snacks too. ![Sobobeok displayed on the shelf at Daroa](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-08-7y5lo-966.webp) ## What's new at Daroa: boneless chicken fried to order But today I wanted to try something different — apparently they just launched a new chicken menu. ![Sign introducing Daroa's new chicken menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-09-azmdi-966.webp) They offer both fried and seasoned versions, cooked to order right when you buy. The price is quite low too. I'm a heavyweight eater so a whole chicken is no problem for me, but eating a whole chicken alone can get a bit much or heavy after a while. ![Boneless fried chicken menu in a size that's easy to eat simply](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-10-1p0cr-966.webp) So this boneless chicken, in a size that's easy to eat simply, looked pretty appealing. While the chicken was frying, I took a look around the store. ## How much is today's bread at Daroa? Red bean, cream and sweet pea paste Various breads that get cheaper the more you pile on. ![Daroa's today's bread display, cheaper the more you buy](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-11-1oful-966.webp) I picked up three kinds — red bean, cream, and sweet pea paste — to eat while I study. There was also a section for ready-made food. ![Ready-made food section inside the Daroa store](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-12-s7kzr-966.webp) ![Soups and stews displayed in the ready-made food section](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-13-u4dq9-966.webp) ## ₩3,900 instant tripe soup and olive oil at Daroa They said a lot of older folks come here for this in particular. I suddenly got a craving for tripe soup too, so I grabbed one — it was ₩3,900 for one. ![Instant tripe soup purchased for ₩3,900](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-14-h4nfn-966.webp) I figured I'd stash it in the freezer and pull it out later with a bottle of soju when I don't feel like cooking a proper meal. ![Olive oil, lemon juice and other food items sold at Daroa](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-15-17m76-966.webp) They also sell things like olive oil and lemon juice at low prices, so passersby stopped to browse those too. ![Various affordably priced food items displayed in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-16-1eods-966.webp) ![Bag of today's bread carried out from Daroa](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-17-35qag-966.webp) ## How the red bean bread and chicken from Daroa tasted While waiting for the bus, I pulled out a red bean bread and ate it — sweet, soft, and delicious. ![Red bean bread eaten at the bus stop](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-18-11811-966.webp) The weather had warmed up so it was nice to have a relaxed moment like that after a while. Once home, I opened up the chicken right away — since it was freshly fried, the subtle fried aroma was still there and it was great. ![Daroa boneless fried chicken opened up at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-19-183p8-966.webp) ![Close-up of freshly fried boneless chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-20-1ssnr-966.webp) Honestly, I was a little torn because I wanted seasoned chicken too — but even at this low price, they threw in some seasoning sauce as well. ![Seasoning sauce included alongside the chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup/daroa-dongbu-market-bread-soup-21-dyqno-966.webp) That little touch was surprisingly thoughtful. Still, fried chicken with just salt really is the classic.
