One of my best friends recommended me to do this post since this is something really popular in her country. In Korea, you can find squid ink flavored ice cream. It’s very popular among locals, but some might find the flavor odd. Some say that it tastes like chocolate, but some also say some say it tastes bland. What everyone agrees is that the flavor doesn’t taste fishy, and it might be worth trying, so be sure to check out this unique ice cream flavor in Korea!

Do you need something refreshing on a hot summer day? I’ve got the answer you need: patbingsu. Patbingsu, or often spelled as patbingsoo, is a type of Korean shaved ice dessert that is accompanied by a sweet syrup and pieces of fruit. Some other types of patbingsu use other ingredients such as red bean, jelly, rice cakes, and ice cream. It’s really simple to make, and you can make it anytime since you just need to add all the ingredients together. The most common fruits that are included in patbingsu are strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, and peaches.
Not long ago, I bought something sweet and nutty from a bake sale called hotteok. When I first tried it, my mind was blown away. Hotteok is a type of Korean pancake filled with grounded nuts, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon powder. It’s a really popular street food snack in Korea, and it’s best served when it’s hot because the sugar filling just melts into your mouth. Nowadays, people fill their hotteoks with other ingredients, such as cheese, kimchi, vegetables, or meat. I highly recommend trying these delicious pancakes out if you happen to pass by a food stall selling them!
At the bakery near my house, they sell something called kkwaebaegi, or also known as twist donuts. When I first tried it a few years ago, it quickly became my favorite pastry in the bakery, and it’s still my favorite today. Kkwaebagi is a type of Korean donut, but it isn’t round and has a hole in the centre like a regular donut. Instead, the donut is long and twisted, and it’s usually covered with white sugar, but some people add chocolate or strawberry jam into it. The donut is sweet on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. If you ever pass by a bakery that sells kkwaebaegi, be sure to buy it, and you won’t regret it!
Several years ago, in Korea, I ventured around the local food vendors, and one of them sold tornado potatoes. Captivated by the name, I decided to buy one and try it out. I was shocked when the person gave something that looked like dozens of potato chips all pierced into a stick. I quickly realized that they were a spiral cut potato on a stick, and they resemble the shape of a tornado. They looked a bit similar to curly French fries but shorter and crispier. When I tasted it, I was shocked by deliciousness and desired to have more. The tornado potato ships were made from having the spiral cut potatoes on the stick deep-fried and seasoned with a savoring seasoning. If you’re going to go to Korea soon, I recommend trying these out!
One of the Korean dishes that I love is called kimbap. Kimbap is made from rolling vegetables, rice, and seaweed together. The size of the seaweed nori is huge, and the vegetables are long, so this is why kimbap is long, and people cut it into bite-sized pieces. Vegetables often used in kimbap are perilla leaves, carrots, and radishes. Other ingredients often use in kimbap are:
Kimbap tends to be short and round, but there some other types that have different shapes. Kimbap is usually served cold, but it’s still delicious. What do you like to have in your kimbap? Comment on the comment section below!
