Hokdeok is Mmmm, Good!

I had the BEST Hokdeok in Insadong yesterday! It was soo thick and delicious and brown sugary inside. I love it!

What a perfect Sunday afternoon treat!!!!

Silk Worm Larvae

While walking through the streets in Seoul, there is one distinguishable and rather putrid smell that hits your nose and alarms your senses. This strange odor wafting in the air is from the silk worm larvae cooking in the street. This is one snack I will definitely be denying myself of!

Shrimp-Flavored Everything

Even after being in Korea for nearly 6 months, my mind is still completely boggled by the idea of eating shrimp-flavored snacks. Korean kids especially seem to dig these smelly treats and leave me gagging everytime they bring these things to munch on in class. The only thing worse in my mind- dried squid snacks!

Dr. You, I LOVE YOU!!!!

I love to try new and delicious snacks here in Korea and my most recent discovery is pure gold. Dr. You's Original Rice Chip is so much more tasty than you would expect. These puffed rice chips are the perfectly crisp and a satisfying blend of sweet and salty.

Best of all, I can pretend like they are not so bad for me since they are disguised as a healthy food product. Mmmmm, delicious!
