Headline: TASTE MY KOREAN BALLS
*400th review!*
I always want my hallmark reviews to be a great place. This is one of them.
Why?
Because it is unique: Nowhere else in town can you get these tasty little pastries with delicious walnut, red bean or potato filling. I LOVE the red bean, the walnut next and the potato is a distant third. but I love coming in here and getting a mixed batch JUST because the excitement of GUESSING which you will get is much more fun than guranteeing yourself your favourite flavour : )
Not many people also know that they sell the flat pancake that, if you get- only eat it warm. BEST bought right off the grill because there is a caramelly layer in the middle that is FANTASTIC and oozes out (not in a messy uncontrollable- you'll be sticky all-over kind of way but) in a delicious way.
Best is to buy it on a cold winter day and smush your hands on each side of the pancake while you nibble on it to keep you warm and eat something tasty.
This is probably one of my favaourite places to pickup stuff for potlucks, meetings or even grab dessert after a date.
so much fun!
NOT ONLY THAT, but watching them make the cakes/ korean balls are also uber fun.
proTip: If you don't buy them fresh wait until you get home so you can put them in a toaster oven. They taste best with the fresh crispy outside and the soft warm center.
enjoy!
