Over our stay in the
Myeongdong area, two nights were somewhat dedicated to munching some street food amidst the shopping and feasting. So here is an introduction to the yummy foods that we tried on this trip!
Bungeo-ppang (red bean fish toast)
 |
| Similar to Japanese
taiyaki, this street food that we encountered seem to be miniature cute
bite-sized delights filled with red bean paste filling. The red bean
paste is placed between a waffle batter and heated in a fish-shaped mold. On
average the price for a packet of about 5 of these little treats cost
1,000 won to 2,000 won. I think the one we had cost us 2,000 won. |

| Crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside filled with red bean paste. Bite into it while it’s fresh and piping hot! |
Odeng (oden)
 |
| Similar to Japanese oden, odeng consists of various fishcakes and vegetables on skewer boiled in dashi broth. |

Hotteok (stuffed pancake)
 |
| Hotteok is a stuffed pancake that can either be sweet or savory. This one was the sweet version and it was perfect on a cold night. |
Bbopkki (Sugar Lollipop)
 |
| A Korean candy made with a mixure of caramelised sugar and some baking soda. They usually have imprinted shapes from hearts to stars, typically made by a ‘ajumma’ sitting on a stool in Myeongdong. |
Gyeran-Bbang (Egg Bread)
 |
| Steamed little loaves of bread with a whole egg inside. They usually have a sweetness to time and are a delight to eat. There are not two stalls which have the same flavor. |
 |
| Our egg bread topped with peanuts, almond sunflower seeds |
Dumplings (Mandu)
 |
| Mandu refers to a stuffed dumpling, similar to the Chinese jiaozi and Japanese gyoza wjhich are usually fried. |
Sausage
 |
| A stall selling grilled sausages which are similar to the Taiwanese sausages |
