Jin always talked about growing up with amazing street food in Seoul so we tried as many different types of street food we could find when we were there! I am sure it was a little trip down memory lane for him.
I really liked red bean pastries, and that waffle had four scoops of ice cream sandwiched inside! We had some weird street food too, by far the weirdest was the boiled silkworms in the last photo. They were sort of sweet, but mostly weird, but I had to try it!
i don't think i could do the silk worms.. but i'd definitely go for the "poop" hehe. toronto's street food is super super lame.
ReplyDeletered bean was my favourite!
ReplyDeletedid you try the patbingsu while there? that was the best for summer.
Carlos and I never tried the silk worms, if you can believe that. (I'm sure you can)
Oh man, your photos make me so hungry lady! Don't know if I could do the silk worms. Kyle says he would try it. You guys are braver than me!
ReplyDeletein thailand (i lived on the border of loas ad burma for a year) my favourite was coconut cakes called "kanom krac". they looked just like the second photo! same little circle pans! they were incredible. its funny how we hold home in our hearts through/by food.
ReplyDeleteand when that food is street food that you pick up on your way to/from work, between appointments, late at night, in every mundain moment of the day... it somehow sticks to the heart even stronger.

I'm so impressed that you tried the silkworms! I can't imagine them taste good boiled..Is the red bean pastry kind of like the fish-shaped waffle you can get by finch station? I like that!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave for trying to silkworms!! The pastries look really cute. Did I read correctly that it says "poop"??
ReplyDeleteOMG! Looks soooo yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaa, I would probably try the silk worms just for the hell of it! ;)
Oh no. No no no. #silkworms

street food is such a delight. certainly something lacking in australia. i saw some strange things in hanoi, but boiled silk worms?! that's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI like to give everything at least one chance, so I'd give the silkworms a try! (Even though they look a little scary).
ReplyDeleteEverything else looks so delicious!
mmmmmmmm....i want street sweets!
ReplyDeleteyummm...those look amazing. i also love the waffle photo. So cute. :)
ReplyDeleteAck! I would have been scared to try the worms lol

wow, what an adventure! and boiled silk worms? I think I would have to try those too. I'm always up for a little food adventure. glad you think that way too!
ReplyDeletei love nothing more than street foods. i think its where you'll get the best cheap local stuff. :-) esp in korea.
ReplyDeleteYour Seoul posts have made me miss the city even more! The street food is so amazing there, definitely makes the whole place just that much better.
ReplyDeleteit all looks delicious but yikes... i would never dare to try the silkworms. I was even a little repelled when eating my first oyster :D but i love that you tried!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun fun shots! I'm enjoying Seoul through your lens Celine!
ReplyDeleteI actually got hungry when seeing these photos so I had to cook some udon noodles and come back to leave a comment :]
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with Shirley, I can't describe how much I enjoy these travel photos!
now my tummy is rumbling! but i am not sure i would be brave enough for silk worms :)
ReplyDeleteReally nice pictures and also funny sometimes. It looks like you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteI grow up in France, we also have some street food there but really not so various.
Looks so good!
ReplyDeleteHAHA i love the poop-shaped sweets!
ReplyDeleteYour photos renewed my conviction I must visit Korea in the near future
you are a brave, brave soul, celine!
