Try Korean Traditional Street Foods

While exploring the enchanting landscapes of this island, I embarked on a delightful culinary journey through Korean street food. To begin, I indulged in Hotteok, a delightful pancake filled with brown sugar and cinnamon. Its crispy edges and gooey center created a symphony of textures and flavors!

Following that, I relished the comforting warmth of a steam bun, boasting a soft, fluffy exterior enfolding a rich and velvety red bean paste filling—a sweet treat that perfectly complemented the crisp air and natural beauty of this island. However, it was the Chicken Skewers that truly stole the show. The succulent, marinated pieces were grilled to perfection and generously coated with a delectable glaze that left me yearning for more.

These street food delights not only satisfied my hunger but also immersed me in the heart and soul of Korean cuisine, making this culinary adventure an unforgettable highlight of my exploration. For more information about restaurants, cafes, etc. check this Nami Island guide for foodie ;)!
