Korea Gastroventures! (맛집 탐방)
Hi! 안녕하세요. This is Admin Na. And today I’m going to introduce you hot spots for young in Korea.
The first hot restaurant is ‘Isaac toast’! Isaac toast is a sandwich with grain. people may consider that just toast would be inappropriate as a full meal, but actually it would be a perfect full meal.
‘Isaac toast’ has a large number of branches all over Korea, so it would be easy to be find!
These are the menus of ‘Isaac toast’!
There are a lot of sandwich menus you can choose from. My favorite ones are the Ham cheese and Ham special with lemon-aid. You can also get beverages like fruit juice, sparkling aid and milk shakes too.
I tried most of menus by myself, and they’re all delicious. You should definitely try them!
Yeopgi Tteokbokki(엽기 떡볶이)
The next restaurant is ‘Yeopgi Tteokbokki’. 엽기(Yeopgi) means bizarre, and 떡볶이(Tteokbokki) means stir-fried rice cake. They’re famous for hot tteokbokki.
They have 5 levels of spiciness, Good taste > beginner > Less spicy > Original (basic) > Spicy. But even Koreans who like spicy food say that level 5, Spicy, is too spicy it feels like your tongue is paralyzed.
They are especially popular among teenagers for their addictive spicy taste, and the topping with melted cheese over the tteokbokki is really awesome. People who don’t handle spicy food might dislike. because it’s too hot, but for people who love spicy food, this place would be really good choices for hot food seekers
Also, there are many ingredients that is in the dish like cheese, rice cake, Vienna sausage, fish cake and eggs to enjoy with the tteokbokki.
This is the signature menu of ‘Yeapgi tteokbokki’.
The last restaurant is ‘Sulbing’. ‘Sulbing’ is a shop which sells ice flakes with syrup. So... I guess it’s closer to a Korean dessert café than restaurants? But I thought it would be nice to introduce you a dessert café to go after you’ve finished your meal:D
The word ‘Sulbing’ is in Chinese characters. ‘Sul’ means snow, and ‘Bing’ means ice which shows the menu ‘Sulbing’ sells. ‘Sulbing’ has many menus and comes back with a new creative menu every season.
‘Sulbing’ is so popular that if you go there in the summer, it will be hard to find an empty seat and you might need to wait for a while, but it also means that it’s that good.
The soft shaved ice with various ingredients, as well as sweet red beans, quickly captivated young people's taste buds, and soon ‘Sulbing’ became one of the most popular Korean dessert cafés.
All the places I introduced to you today are popularized not just in Seoul, but all-around Korea that it will be very easy to find. If you visit Korea one day, I strongly recommend you to visit these places!
