  • Chimeak (치맥)

Probably the most popular food combination right now in Korea is fried chicken and beer, or chimeak.

Don’t be fooled by the fish; this popular street food made up of a carp-shaped pastry stuffed with red bean paste is definitely more of a sweet treat! It's snack version is brought to us from our friends at Orion, and it's a cake filled with a red bean and chocolate filling. YUM!

  • Roasted Sweet Potato

This popular street food of a rice cake covered in a thick, spicy red sauce has easy on-the go versions as well as flavours for ramen, and one of our favourite variations is the tteokbokki-flavoured chip.

Churros have become quite a popular treat in Korea, but instead of just leaving them in their natural state, they have come up with an alternative snack version: Pikachu and Doraemon churros. With a cinnamon crunchy outside, the Doraemon is filled with a vanilla cream center, and the Pikachu has a chocolate center. Perfect for any sweet tooth!
