Korean Food Trip


Here's a food photo diary of all the yummy goodness I saw/ate during my trip! hehe :)



Odeng (Fish cake)
You can see this everywhere in the streets! I'm not sure if it's also popular during summer season, but it's perfect for the cold days specially the broth!
This is one of my fave street food, literally eating it almost everyday lol


Gimbap (rice rolls), Odeng, Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes)
My fave combo meal! Eat the odeng with some sliced gimbap and finish it with spicy tteokbokki!
#yuminmytum



Mandu (steamed dumplings)
Sooo delicious. Im a big fan of dumplings so this is also another favorite of mine <3



Fried Mandu +  Pajeon (green onion pancake)


Now this one is my mom's favorite hehe



It's called Hotteok (crunchy pancakes stuffed w/ sugar,peanuts and sesame seeds)
This is really delicious and a favorite dessert of ours <3



Jjinppang (steamed bun with red bean paste filling)
Really good for winter season!!



Beondegi (boiled silk worm)
Some people would never ever try this, but in my opinion you're missing out a lot!
The taste is just like boiled peanuts, nothing unusual!
I enjoyed eating this actually hehe


I forgot what this is called but it's a spicy burger cut into strips topped with ketchup and mustard



Soondae (pig's intestine stuffed blood,noodles topped with liver and other organs)
This one is a bit spicy and if you're not used to eating animal organs, I guess you won't appreciate this.


original and spicy flavored Kyochon!


Soondooboo Jeomshik (spicy beef version of samgyeopsal)



Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly eaten with lettuce and served with various side dishes)



fruit popsicles
Saw these at the mall and a lot of customers were lining up for it! ;)



pretty cream cakes


waffles and sweet potato latte



Seafood udon (noodles)



Patbingsoo (shaved ice) served with strawberries and mochi
This one is called snowflake sherbet, basically shaved ice with peanut powder served with milk
I was really amazed on how thin the shaved ice was! And the fact that it doesn't melt quickly! wow, what magical awesomeness did they put in this dish??!!haha




If you ask me, the BEST and SWEETEST strawberries can be found in Korea.
Hands down!

Busan

One of the reasons why I went on a blogging hiatus was my recent trip to Korea.
Last March, I was able to visit Busan and other nearby cities such as Daegu, Ulsan and Gyeonju for my 1 week trip ;) 
I'll divide my Korea posts into the cities I visited so first stop are my snaps for my Busan trip!



We stayed in Haeundae which is popular for its Haeundae Beach!
