First up, we've got samgak kimbap (삼각김밥), sometimes referred to as triangle kimbap. The setup: tuna and mayo (my favorite filling/flavor/thing!) surrounded by rice, and wrapped in a sheet of dried seaweed, all in a triangle shape. They're kind of a pain to unwrap sometimes, often resulting in ripped seaweed, and you invariably wind up with greasy hands, dropping chunks of rice everywhere, but oh my are they worth it.
In the middle, we've got tuna mayonnaise, and it's flanked by two tuna kimchi rice variations. |
Heated and unwrapped: a triangle kimbap tale. |
Here is the standard sundae found on streetsides throughout Korea: pig intestine stuffed with cellophane noodles and blood. |
This is Byeongcheon sundae, which owes its name to a small city next to mine. They do something different with the noodles, but other than that I think it involves veggies somehow, I don't have the slightest idea what exactly is different. I just know it's delicious and very, very filling. You can see some liver and lung bits on the left. |
Strawberry patbingsu from Seolbing, a chain that easily bests the patbingsus offered by most of the chain cafes I've been to around Korea. So. So. Good. Do you see those ricecakes?! Mmmmmmmmmmmm. |
Oreo patbingsu from a place in Cheonan called Dalbingko. Not the best I've had, but not bad. |
This is the traditional version of patbingsu. Milk ice flakes topped with red bean and a ricecake. While I drink green tea relatively often, I am not a fan of green tea patbingsu (on the right, if you couldn't guess), although if the milk bingsu was any indication, I'm sure it was top-notch. |
