Eat like a local in South Korea: 5 street foods you should try in Seoul
Breakaway from the traditional kimchi and barbecue by delving into the tasty snacks on offer while exploring the capital city
When people think about South Korean food, the first things that come to mind are kimchi, ginseng chicken soup and barbecue.
It would be easy to find all of the above in Seoul, but the capital city has much more to offer.
So, the next time you are in South Korea, here are some of the tasty treats on the street you have to try.
Gyeran ppang
Also known as Korean egg pancake, it is the Korean street food version of eggs benedict. A fluffy bread baked topped with an egg, these little goodies are made right on the streets on special metal racks. The batter is poured into the mould and the egg is then added, before the whole thing is flipped over to be cooked. The warm scent and fluffy texture of the bread combine with the egg to make them irresistible.
Fried milk cubes
While their name may conjure up a weird image of milk being poured into oil, they are actually a mix of cornflour, sugar and milk coated in batter and deep fried. If you are a fan of custard, chances are you will like them. Creamy and crispy, the fried milk cubes in Seoul are served in a little paper bowl with a dusting of icing sugar and soybean flour.
