From Tteokbokki to eomuk, Korean street food is the latest foodie diva in the country. There are more people selling Korean street food than Japanese food. Somehow, at least in street food vendors these days, they’d also offer Korean street food alongside Indonesian or western options. I personally like Korean food and have learned how to cook them. But sometimes, nothing beats something that’s made by others. It’s definitely time saving, easy, and I don’t have to cook them while simultaneously watching youtube for the instructions. In my neighborhood there are about 3 Korean street vendors selling similar items. One recently opened and piqued my interest in trying them. Korean street vendors also known for its corn dog although it is not originating from Korea, people sort of know it as Korean snacks here.
For one thing I know, it is difficult to find a decent corn dog seller. Often, the batter is not well-seasoned and the cheese they use tastes bitter. But the corn dog that I tasted yesterday was really good. It was not greasy which is a plus point when getting deep fried food like this. Their tteokbokki and rabokki were all well-seasoned and quite delicious too. Meanwhile, their eomuk was served with the soup which they also put in the bowl. Nowadays, I notice the trend of people starting selling tteokbokki in a small bowl and this street vendor follows the same trend . It is just unfortunate that the bowl itself is not water leak proof, so it was quite messy. Although overall it was not disappointing compared to many Korean street foods I tasted in yogyakarta with their bare minimum packaging too.
