Street food in Korea (and China)

I love street food.  One of the reasons I was so excited to go back to Korea, besides visiting family and showing the kids their father’s homeland, was to eat lots and lots of street food… and we did!

This is a typical food stand in Seoul.  You can enjoy kimbap, spicy rice cakes and all kinds of deep fried yumminess here.

Glass noodles wrapped in seaweed, dipped in batter and deep fried… YUM!

I really like pancakes and I was obsessed with eating hoddeok, pancakes stuffed with sugar and nuts, everyday!

We also discovered a savoury pancake sold on the streets that was stuffed with noodles and veggies.  We had to try those as well!

Yummy! (We did need to take our street food indoors this day as it was cold and rainy.)

We also had fabulous street food in Shanghai.  We enjoyed some yummy onion pancakes…

Nothing beats eating on the street with cousins!

We also ate lots of different foods on a stick – bbq’ed chicken, deep fried chicken, and sausages to name a few. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures 🙁 Now to try and make a few of these myself.
