Dream Team: Tteokbokki & Fried Food
The king of Korean street food is undoubtedly 'Tteokbokki.'
Chewy rice cakes in spicy red sauce are the soul food of Koreans.
Not good with spicy food?
Order 'Twigim' (fried squid, seaweed rolls, sweet potato) together.
Dipping crispy fried food into the sauce ('Jjik-meok') reduces the heat and explodes the flavor.
Standing on the street and eating with a toothpick
tastes much better than eating in a restaurant!
Savior of Cold Days: Eomuk Broth
See those skewers steaming next to the Tteokbokki?
That is 'Eomuk' (Fish cake).
Here is the most important tip:
The broth is **Unlimited & FREE**.
You don't even need to ask for permission.
Just grab a paper cup, ladle the soup yourself, and sip it warm.
There is nothing better to soothe your mouth after spicy Tteokbokki.
Drinking warm Eomuk broth in winter is pure 'Love.'
Carry 3,000 won for Bungeoppang
If you smell something sweet on the streets in winter, look around.
You'll find 'Bungeoppang,' a fish-shaped pastry.
It's not real fish, but warm bread filled with red bean or custard cream.
Koreans always carry **3,000 won cash** in their pockets in winter.
Because you never know when you'll meet Bungeoppang.
Eating from the head vs. the tail is an eternal debate among Koreans.
What's your choice?
No Card? Cash and Transfers
Most Korean shops accept cards,
but street food stalls still prefer **Cash**.
You might see locals asking about 'Bank Transfer' (Gyejwa-iche),
but that requires a Korean bank account.
Travelers should keep a few 1,000 won bills in their pockets.
It prevents the tragedy of missing out on Tteokbokki because of no card.
When you smell something good, trust your pocket, not your wallet!
