Diverse and Trendy Street Eats

The biggest charm of Myeongdong street food is that the diverse menu changes with the seasons. Although it is aimed at tourists, it is sensitive to trends. Some foods have been loved for a long time, but many disappear quickly. Traditional Korean street foods include tteokbokki, eomuk (fish cake), hot dogs (fried food with a stick on it that you can hold and eat), and sundae (blood sausage). Sundae is hard to find here, but it is a common food sold at Korean snack bars.
