I bought chicken, snacks, and Hanwoomul gukbap for 17,900 won, and the crisp, savory chicken was delicious shared with my family.

The shop name is so cute too.. ![Visiting Daroa at Dongbu Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-01-oy653-900.webp) ![Daroa Dongbu Market Branch near Jungnang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-02-x4g2n-900.webp) It is not far from the entrance to Dongbu Market, so you can find it without getting lost. It is open daily from 11:00 to 20:00 and closed every Tuesday! ![Operating information for Daroa Dongbu Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-03-1wk0g-1200.webp) With its bright yellow sign and interior, there is no way you could miss it from afar! ![Daroa shop with its yellow sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-04-sn3td-900.webp) ## Burgers and chicken from ₩2,000 These days, even hamburgers cost close to ₩10,000, but Daroa burgers start at ₩2,000. A set is ₩3,500—less than the price of one roll of gimbap (seaweed rice roll)!! ![Daroa burger and set prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-05-15wgf-900.webp) ![Chicken model and table at the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-06-jn7vi-900.webp) The sign says it is a model of a whole, generously filled chicken, and when I got close and smelled it, it really smelled like chicken! There are tables where you can sit and take a short break, too. Once inside, I found all sorts of products displayed in this small space! Shall we take a look one by one? ![Products displayed inside Daroa](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-07-qmy52-900.webp) First, the burger and chicken menu! Chicken is incredibly expensive these days, right? But basic chicken here is ₩9,900, and you can enjoy seasoned chicken, kataifi fried shrimp, and more at very low prices. ![Burger and chicken menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-08-1g6fe-900.webp) ## Fresh-baked bread and affordable desserts This is Daroa's bread corner. ₩1,500 for one piece of bread—is that for real? And they give you discounts when you buy more, so it is seriously so affordable... ![Daroa bread corner price information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-09-1w5f6-900.webp) ![Several kinds of Daroa bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-10-1irpm-900.webp) They say it tastes even better because it is baked in-house. Ten for ₩10,000... and the bread is not tiny, either. Truly prices straight from the old days! ![Display of assorted breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-11-1vxi6-900.webp) There are lots of kinds of bread, right? I wanted to buy a few, but I wanted chicken more, so I ordered chicken instead of bread. ![Bread corner before ordering chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-12-l5e30-900.webp) This is the space selling desserts that give you a dopamine rush. Kataifi desserts may be a little past their trend now, but they were being sold at really low prices. ![Kataifi dessert sales area](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-13-k5jny-900.webp) Dusocho (Dubai cotton candy chocolate), normally ₩5,300, was just ₩1,000!!! I could not not buy it, so I grabbed one right away. Boneless galbitang (beef short-rib soup) was ₩3,000, and it looked perfect to stock up on at home for days when there are no side dishes. They also sell premium olive oil, lemon juice, and all kinds of drinks. And here is the surprising part... Mogu Mogu was only ₩1,000! I bought this immediately too. ![Dusocho and drinks for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-14-1f3j7-900.webp) ![Daroa frozen-food corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-15-bx3cm-900.webp) ## Filling my basket in the frozen-food corner Here is Daroa's frozen-food corner~ There are retort foods on display, and the Hanwoomul gukbap (rice soup) varieties I love and often buy were ₩1,900—far cheaper than the lowest online price. Into my basket they went! ![Frozen-food corner stocked with Hanwoomul gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-16-jqaf3-900.webp) They are running an event too, so do give it a try! I ended up signing up for membership as if I were under a spell.. ![Daroa shop event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-17-x5ba5-900.webp) Under the register, they were selling boxes of cat cookies for the astonishing price of ₩1,000. I cannot resist cute cat cookies... so I put one in my basket. ![Cat cookies beneath the register](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-18-1dwvs-900.webp) Summer is over, but they also sell delicious pineapple sherbet. This would be perfect for curing a hangover... If the weather had been hotter, I think I would have bought it! ![Pineapple sherbet and chicken burger set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-19-1ogv0-900.webp) There is a chicken burger set too, so you can get an already affordable meal for even less! When I visited, quite a few people were actually buying this set, you know? ![Products purchased at Daroa](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-20-xx1tp-900.webp) ![₩17,900 grocery-shopping haul](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-21-1y1dd-900.webp) ## ₩17,900 of groceries and crispy chicken Here is my haul after picking out all sorts of things. I bought this much, and it was really ₩17,900—can you believe it? When I opened the chicken at home, there was more than I expected! The smell made the trip home tortureㅠㅠ You should not dismiss it just because it is cheap. It was crispy and savory, an absolutely perfect beer snack. ![Packaged crispy chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-22-febqw-900.webp) You can feel the crispiness even in the photo, right? My family and I shared it deliciously. ![Chicken shared with family](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-23-vocg8-900.webp) Two kinds of Hanwoomul gukbap that I absolutely adore!! Oh, right—when I bought four, they discounted them to ₩5,000. Four would normally be around ₩8,000, so how much of a discount was that... I paid about ₩1,250 each. Such a low price made me happy all over again! ![Discounted Hanwoomul gukbap purchase](https://img.superchart.com/images/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping-24-8f4cz-900.webp) Cute butter cookies and Mogu Mogu, which my child loves—today's shopping was such a satisfying haul🩷 ## Where it is - Daroa Dongbu Market Branch (다로아 동부시장점) (다로아 동부시장점) - 68 Jungnangcheon-ro 10-gil, Jungnang-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중랑구 중랑천로10길 68 1층 - 37.5923456, 127.0768256 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A4%EB%A1%9C%EC%95%84%20%EB%8F%99%EB%B6%80%EC%8B%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.5923456,127.0768256,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sugar-packet-seoul/jungnang-daroa-chicken-market-shopping/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
