[Korea] Yummy Korea Street Stall

★★★★★

$$

If you watch Korean drama, you will see the Koreans often go to those street stalls under the red tent along the road. These red tent food stalls serve similar functions as Hong Kong's Dai Pai Dang, where nice convenient fast food is served.

The ambiance is one of the main selling point in this red tent stalls. Cosiness and crazily nosy ambiance are what people like about this street stalls. Although the tables were tiny, we had a great time dinning and chattering in there.

Sushi Roll (6/10)

Sushi roll is one of my must have item when I go to local Korean restaurant. Although the taste wouldn't differ much from store to store, I just love it. Do you love its look? :)

Pig Intestines Served with Vegetables (10/10)

OMG, its one of the B.E.S.T pig intestine I have ever tasted! It was so amazingly done we had it back ordered! The pig intestine was thickly cut and was very fat and chewy. There was no dirty or smelly taste in it but a strong flavourable taste from the nice Korea sauce. The Veggies were also very yum as they had totally absorbed the sauce. This is such a hidden gem, we had it polished in no time!

Kimchi Pancake (3/10)

It was quite badly done. The pancake was soggy and the taste was rather flat. Hong Kong's Fu San can do so much better than this.

Fried Dokboki (7/10)

The big fat chunk of Dokboki kind of shocked me as I usually have small slim ones. The dokboki was very chewy and was not as soft as the small slim ones. The taste was not strong, perhaps the dokboki was too thick? I generally prefer the typical smaller ones.

Soju

I guess Korea is one of the alcoholic city in the world. People drink it day and night for social, business or to keep warm in the freezing winter. As might of the above reasons, soju is a very cheap and famous alcoholic drink in Korea which is around HKD$ 20 approx. It tastes similar to Vokda but is less strong, around 20% I suppose.

FINAL COMMENT

To be honest, the food in this kind of red tent isn't particularly amazing, (except the pig intestine which is a hidden gem!) and is rather pricey. Yet I could highly recommend you walk in this kind of street stalls and had a try out to experience the ambiance of the cosiness.
