Best Tteokbokki in Uiwang: A Street-Stall (Pocha) Tteokbokki Recommendation

Translated from the Korean original.

Do you remember me saying tteokbokki was my favorite food when I first started this blog?

It is a place I used to go to often, and now I can’t go as often, so today the owner greeted me by asking why it had been so long..

There was a time I really did go all the time lol

Let me introduce the tteokbokki here: first of all, she has been in this very spot for about 10 years? At that point, is there anything left to explain?^^

That really is a long time, isn’t it? Of course there are people who have been at it even longer, but except for August, the fiercest heat of summer,

she comes out every single day hehe At one point this was my own little mill lol

I guess it really has been a while.. these days even street tteokbokki is KRW 4,000 a portion, sigh ㅠㅠ

What makes the tteokbokki here good is that she puts a little curry powder in the sauce. And the MSG taste is not

strong, which I like There used to be a famous tteokbokki place near here ..one that even appeared as a drama filming location, but

it suddenly disappeared.. That place also had the mood of a snack shop in front of a school, warm and nice, but

still, I like the tteokbokki here better. haha

So, what do you think? Looks like an ordinary stall with nothing much to it, right? Even so, every dish a snack shop could make at a street stall

she makes every one of them herself.

The grandmother whose hand you can see had just come out of the bathhouse next door, and in the old days, when I came out of the bathhouse

there was a bungeoppang stand right in front, so I really ate them without end ㅠㅠ

Why on earth did I eat so much.. Oh. It is not the past, it is still in progress right now. ㅠ

Just now I polished off a whole bowl of rice, at this ungodly hour,……..

Wherever someone sells bungeoppang, they always sell something else right beside it, right?? That’s it.. odeng lol And odeng is another killer for me lol

If I let myself go, I think I could eat more than 10 pieces of odeng

But not the cheap odeng with a fishy smell lol My palate is at least a teeeny bit upscale haha

Anyway… ah~~one bathhouse and the story got this long lol But those fritters over there, they look kind of so-so, don’t they?

Even so, they are handmade fritters the owner kneads and preps from scratch every single day.

You know that most snack shops these days get theirs supplied from a factory? or somewhere like that, right?

That is why the gimmari and vegetable fritters here taste better.. So today I bought them like this ..

I eat less than it looks, no, less than I talk about, don’t I? lolololol I really ~~~~~deli““`berated a lot over the fritters, but

I boldly passed!! And then what good did it do..ㅠㅠ At half past ten at night I opened a can of tuna with some kimchi and finished a whole bowl of rice….ㅠㅠㅠ

And this is the signature menu here, hotteok lol You know that places selling hotteok are as rare as bungeoppang these days, right?

What is even better is that she does not make the hotteok as if deep-frying it; she grills it with the least oil possible.

That does not mean it is a dry hotteok like the Chinese style. It is a hotteok with just the right amount of oil,

so you can keep eating without getting tired of it..

I like buying a little sundae liver to dip in the tteokbokki sauce, and I held back on that too lolololol

I held back this much ..ㅠㅠ boohoo

Finally, let’s take one more look at the close-up of those handmade fritters ..lolololol

Oh.. another thing that makes this tteokbokki place special is the stuffed pepper fritters the owner makes herself..

She makes every fritter on the menu herself, right down to the pepper fritters~~~~

You all like tteokbokki too, right, neighbors?

Do you have a regular tteokbokki place in your neighborhood?? Shall we set out on a tteokbokki expedition?lol

Please do share~~~^^
