Ewha Campus Complex (ECC) in Edae

Ewha Campus Complex (ECC), designed by Dominique Perrault a French prominent architect, we can't call a mountain, or a hill, or a building. In other view, it looks like a valley, which both sides are consisted of glass and steel in an adorned harmony. With an unusual design that makes underground seem like overground, ECC goes beyond being a building to be a new land scape that harmonizes with the natural background. ECC is a magnificient place of learning and a space for communication and meeting.

Street Food in Edae

While you are wandering around Edae shopping district for your window shopping, you may feel starved. There is street food around Edae shopping district as follows in a map below.  Your may try to eat at one of cart-moving stalls between main enterance of Ewha Womans University and
metro station of Ewha Womans University.

- Skewered food:
  A merchant grills some skewered ingredients of
  chicken or pork and vegatables such as pepper,
  onion. We feel special taste with juicy and
  soft meat.

- Gyeran-Pao:
  It is a bread within which an egg is. It is
  delicous and sweet.  Please don't forget to give it
  a try. It is one of traditional street snacks over
  Korea.

- Ddokbukgi:
  It is a highly spicy-hot rice cake with hot pot
  which is mixed with pepper paste, cabbage, fish
  cake, instant noodle which is called 'Ramyun',
  boiled  egg, and dumpling. It is pungent but
  drooling.

- Fish cake:
  It is made of some ingredients which are grinded
  with crab meat or rough fish or cuttlefish or
  shrimp, with green onion/onion/carrot/green and
  red pepper minced, inclouding flour. It doesn't
  smell fishy,  but chewy and too soft like a cotton.
  If you could eat it with Ddokbukgi, it'd be more
  tasteful.

- Hotteok:
  It is a Korean traditional snack. A floured
  dough in a size of hand, in which brown sugar, 
  honey, chopped peanuts and cinnamon are 
  inserted, is pressed flatly on a big stainless steel 
  pan and cooked over fire. If we eat it when it is 
  cold, it is more mouthwatering.
