  • There is no shortage of street food in Seoul. Every time you turn a corner in the South Korean capital, you see and smell something you just have to try. We sampled deep-fried treats like the french fry corn dog and fish cakes; soft, sweet egg bread; a breakfast sandwich served in a cup; and, of course, kimchi dumplings. So many delicious kimchi dumplings.

    That French fry corndog is a thing of beauty, hats off to Seoul for outclassing even the most outlandish fried food at the Texas state fair.

      I was just thinking that could be the perfect MN State Fair food!

      it's friggin incredible. i don't even like corndogs that much and i cracked into a wide smile after one bite of that french fry monstrosity.

      if it had a vegetarian sausage in the middle, i'd tear that thing up. it looks amazing. like, so amazing i'm probably going to get some smart dogs and some fries and try to make this myself. it's so extra, but omg i wanna be extra right now

      I was at a OC Night Market in Southern California couple of months ago. Its basically a large food stall venue, with unique variety of food, very large event over 50,000 usually come during the weekend.
      ANYWAY, they had a stall where they had all the unique Korean corn dogs, like the french fry one, and one with cheese, and so on, and THEY WERE KILLING IT. Like a hour long line. Just saying if no one is doing it in TX, there might be a market for it.

    You forgot Heotdeok (I hope I have it spelt correctly.). It's basically a chewy, crunchy Korean pancake filled with melted brown sugar and nuts. It is my favorite Korean food.

    • @amoosingnobody

      That sounds incredibly delicious!

    • @jeff__w
      @jeff__w Před 4 lety +1

      Absolutely! 호떡 [hotteok] is utterly delicious! That's one street food that should not be missed!

    • @jjk4891
      @jjk4891 Před 4 lety

      And boong-uh-pang (tricky to spell it in English)! They look like little fish but are actually pastry filled with red bean paste, cream or other ingredients and are DELICIOUS! This and hotteok are my go-to snacks in the winter :)

  • @foreverfriendsg

    • @thepiemaster0933
      @thepiemaster0933 Před 4 lety +1

      VoidX I went there over the summer (I’m an American citizen but my parents are both 100% korean) in our trip, we went to the DMZ, and multiple towns. Gimcheon, Incheon, of course Seoul, and at Myongdong-> is the place best known for their street food. You could also visit the huge royal palace in Seoul

    • @thepiemaster0933
      @thepiemaster0933 Před 4 lety +1

      VoidX now, places I have not been to but YOU SHOULD STILL CONSIDER. Are places like Busan, a coastal but bustling city. You can also go to Jeju island (that I have been to before) it is such a beautiful place and good place to just sit back and relax

    • @aus-li
      @aus-li Před 4 lety

      ThePieMaster09 Lmao, I love how you capitalize on your ethnicity XD
      Thanks a lot! I’ll try all the other places except the DMZ...I think it’s kinda boring XD
      Also, do you have a favorite Korean food? One of mine is kimchi.

    For those who ate sad that this video didn't feature the note famous street foods i think it's actually great to see the lesser known foods shown here :)
    I never thought these foods were Korean foods but now seeing them here i realize I've lived with them so long enough to forget they were distinctly Korean in the first place

    My favourite SK street-food is fish cake. It's esp. yum when you eat it during chilly weather and then you drink a shot of soju after. Jinro is the best brand, but I love Chum-churum.

  • @crowdedsubwaystation
    @crowdedsubwaystation Před 4 lety +1

    I’m korean and there is something called Bungeoppang (붕어빵) and it is so bombbbb (fish shaped bread with red bean filling)
    - I also lived there for some time and never saw a street food selling the toast stuff. The egg bread is super popular tho

    damn, some if these look so good! i don't want the meat ones, but that egg bread and that vegetable thing look amazing. i'm surprised i didn't see more cheese, cuse i know you guys love cheese there. i lived in Japan for a long time, and it was sooo hard to find cheese because no one eats it, but korea knows what's up - cheese is the best thing that ever happened to food.
    either way, it looks sooo good. I would just tell them to leave off the ham lol
