Korean Ice Cream

Marie and I enjoyed some Ice Cream Fish Bread (아이스 크림 붕어빵) on the streets of Hongdae! We also get chocolate on our faces and hands! Fun!

Bungeoppang (붕어빵) is a carp/fish shaped bread that is usually filled with hot, red azuki sweet bean paste. It's a great treat in the winter! Now, Koreans have turned this common snack into a new ice cream dessert!

This "new" dessert has been found in certain street food areas of Seoul since this past summer to keep people cool. It's a neat recreation of bungeoppang, and it's funny to see that it is still popular, even in the winter season!

The Ice Cream Fish Bread is has a sugar creme filling, which is covered in frozen yogurt. Then it's drizzled with fondue chocolate and crushed peanuts. There's a skewer stick of grapes and pineapple also dipped in the fondue chocolate that's stabbed into the dessert treat.

It's simple, delicious, and only costs 3,000 Won (roughly $2.90). If you're in Korea and you see this snack on the streets, you should definitely give it a try!!!
