Korean fish shaped pastry / Bungeoppang / 붕어빵

It was a really cold winter night.
I was walking back to the guest house with my friend when we saw a ajjushi selling this.
We walked passed him but both of us looked at each other at the same time.

There’s only 3-4 Bungeoppang left.
We walked back to him & bought all it’s left so maybe he can go home early!?
It was really very cold. Maybe -8°C !?
I can’t remember how much we paid for it …maybe 1,000Won?

Btw. Bungeoppang (붕어빵) is a Korean pastry similar to Japan’s Taiyaki.
The standard filling is red bean paste but there’s also other filling like custard cream & sweet potato!?

It’s a popular snack during winter. You’ll be able to find street vendors selling it at a lot of places.
Please be careful when you eat, the red bean paste is really hot!
You might get your tounge burned.

Try it out! It’ll definitely warm your hands & stomach during a cold winter day :)

p/s: Again I have to apologize for the lack of updates here.
Actually I’ve been traveling for 1 month & haven’t had time to update.
