Since we were watching Nanta, we no longer had time for proper dinner during our first night in Korea. I didn't mind because I was eager to try Korean street food.
The Nanta Theater is located in Myeongdong where a lot of food carts set up shop at night. Scouting the busy streets of Myeongdong, I realized that when it comes to street fare, Koreans are not wanting in options.
I had a sensory overload looking at all the food choices making me wish to try almost everything in sight! I tried my best to do exactly that in our five days in Korea.

| Sausages |
I thought it would have a unique taste but it's just like any other hotdog one can find in any street corner around the world.
 |
| Hotteok or Filled Korean Pancake |
There was a long line in one of the stalls so I got curious. Hotteok is made from fried dough filled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Oily and sweet which I loved!!!
 |
| Odeng or Fish Cake |
A healthy street food option which is perfect during a cold winter night. Drink the lightly sweetened broth to warm the body.
 |
| Dakkocchi or Chicken Barbeque Skewers |
Chicken was tender with a sweet and spicy glaze. Wished the meat could have been warmer though.
 |
| Peanuts |
No salt no flavor. Pass!
 |
| Squid Flakes |
It was oily but it was also very crispy. So fresh making it too easy for me to finish the bag.
 |
| Meat Bun |
Very similar to what we have in the Chinese delis in Manila. Chewy crust and flavorful meat.
 |
| French Fry Wrapped Hotdog |
I was sure that I would love this but it was already cold when I had a bite. Make sure to buy a stick fresh from the frying pan.
