5 yummy korea snack

1.Kimchi Stew Potato Chips

Just like how some people are not a fan of pineapples on pizzas, there are also some who are not a fan of potato chips that are sweet. If butter caramel just isn’t your thing, don’t worry, there is also a wide selection of savoury chips for you to turn to! One of the most unique flavours available is the Kimchi Stew flavour. A classic dish in Korean cuisine, kimchi stew is a spicy and hearty broth filled with ingredients such as kimchi (spicy pickled cabbage), scallions, tofu, onions and pork. Likewise, these crunchy chips are a combination of salty and tangy flavours, with a kick of spice. 

2.Pikachu Churros

 

Pikachu AND churros? Shut up and take my money! I don’t know how anyone can resist this, because I certainly can’t. This is best as an afternoon snack to nibble on while shopping at Myeongdong or taking a refreshing stroll along the Han River.

 

3.Yakult Yoghurt Jelly

 

 Introduced this year, these cute packets of jelly come in three flavours: Original Yoghurt Jelly, Apple Yogurt Jelly and Strawberry Yogurt Jelly. Not only does the packaging take the shape of the actual Yakult bottles, the jelly pieces are also adorably shaped like mini Yakult bottles. The refreshing taste and chewy texture of the jelly make it perfect for sharing with your besties and a great souvenir to bring home.

 

 4.Double Dip Pepero

 Much loved by Koreans and frequently featured in Korean dramas and variety shows, Pepero is almost like the national snack of Korea. There is even a Pepero Day in Korea! Held on November 11, Pepero Day is celebrated by exchanging Pepero snacks with friends and loved ones to show affection for each other. Visit any grocery or convenience store and you’ll find stacks and stacks of Pepero in various flavours, ranging from Oreo to Tiramisu Cheese. But have you heard of Double Dip Pepero? Dipped with double layers of chocolate, these chunky Pepero sticks are excellent little treats for sharing with your friends. Simple and tasty, Double Dip Pepero is available in two flavours: Milk Chocolate & White Chocolate, as well as Strawberry Chocolate & White Chocolate. Double the layer, double the happiness!
