Grabbed a few snacks cuz I was in the area. One off the bookmarks list! Huzzah!
Had the pan fried rice cake skewers ($5/4) - Definitely had crisp edges. I had half of mine spicy and half of mine sweet. The sweet ones still have a slight spice kick to them. Be careful. These can get messy. For $5, it's not cheap, but it isn't ridiculously expensive either.
Also got the red bean fish cakes ($5/5) - These weren't made to order, but they were still warm when I ate them. I prefer Galleria's. These ones are smaller and there's a creaminess that I find in Galleria's red bean paste that I don't find in these ones. These ones are still good though.
Hotteok ($5/3). These were magical. I've never had fresh hotteok before. Think of this as a dough ball filled with cinnamon sugar and then pressed flat while being cooked on a flat top so that they're pancake shaped. These were made to order. I watched as the lady grabbed dough out of a container, then put sugar in them. There's something lovely about watching someone make food properly. I had one within 3 minutes of her putting them into a box (she separated each one using parchment paper so they wouldn't stick). The sugar on the inside was all melted and gooey and delicious and the outside was crispy. It was also scalding hot.
It was cold and raining when we came yesterday, so I opted out of the ice cream fishes, but next time, I'm thinking of getting that, or their shaved ices/patbingsoo ($7.99), or going back to the hotteok, cuz those were amazing.
