Nighttime at Yongsan-gu (May 7, 2007)

As nighttime falls the streets start buzzing with people shopping, picking up flowers and visiting with friends. Many snack stands open for business as men and women make their way home after a long work day.

호떡 Hotteok

On our way home from E-Mart we stopped and got a hot 호떡 (Hotteok) to snack on during the walk home. Hotteok is sort of like a pancake (a bit more dense and chewy) but the filling is on the inside. These ones had bean paste and chopped peanuts. They are nice and hot and warm you up quickly on a chilly evening. At 500 won (about 50 cents) a piece they are a great bargain as well!
