food.
so when do you know summer's over in korea?
when you're the only one on the bus/train without a jacket?
when shops start displaying fur coats on windows?
when people look at you weird if you wear flip flops?
though those things are all true,
i think summer's really gone when they start selling boonguhbbang in the streets.
boonguhbbang is a type of crispy bread, filled w/ sweet red beans (also known as taiyaki in japanese). it's really yummy and is normally eaten in fall&winter in korea. so i take 2 busses to get to my elementary school, and during my transfer stop, i usually stop by a cart for some morning snacks like fried doughy-donut or odeng on a stick. but since 2 weeks ago, the lady started selling the fish-looking snack i enjoyed last winter in korea! so of course, i just HAD to get some [plus, they were only 1,000 won for 3!].
most street food vendors come out later in the day and there are many of these carts on the near the north gate of knu. they sell food like ttukbokki [spicy rice cake], odeng [fish cake], chicken&other meat skewers, and fried stuff. omg i love the fried food way too muchhh. and theres this one halmoni [granny] who has a cart near the bus stop at the north gate & i love going there for quick eat. you can get 3 fried tempura things [squid leg, sweet potato, kimali- my new fav.] for 1,000 won [~1 dollar] and she'll pour some ttukbokki over it and its SOOOO GOOOD. like where in the states can you get something that delicious and satisfying for A DOLLAR? of course, im sure it's pretty bad for your health, but it's nice to stop by before taking a bus to downtown- the halmoni's really nice and she gives extra portions if she recognizes you haha
ooh this isn't street food, but i also found this delicious fried chicken place near the dorm. totally going there for midnight snacks again. people tell me that they lose weight when coming to korea, but i think it's the opposite for me. hopefully all the walking around the campus & taekwondo practices [which is going great btw] will even out all the unhealthy eating...
