Snack Hunting in Seoul

November 7, 2007 · Filed Under Musings

Whenever I go to a foreign country, one of the things that I like to do is go “snack hunting”. The US is a no-brainer. All those things I see on movies and TV, I eventually buy. When I was in Japan, my palette couldn’t stand the weird textures and flavors.

But being back here in joy brings nostalgia - in snack hunting that is. Hey! a gamer has to eat the right food, you know.

At any rate, when I was here last year for the Gravityfest, I would splurge on the local convenient store and buy one of each. Until I hit “the bomb”. I remember trying out an instant “Kimchi Rice” fare - now I know the better! No, thanks for me. The heat is just unbearable.

Meanwhile, one of my favorite is this onion ring below. I can’t read the label so I’ll just show it to you

It has the right texture, tanginess and “bite”.

Oh yeah, I finally got some Energizer batteries for my damn digicam.

What better way to test it than on Onion Rings and a lemonade drink, right? Hehehehe.

Later, I’ll grab more photos and then share.

Seeya!

yeah. i already tried this onion rings snack from korea. not too salty, but it has that “snack factor”. by the way GM Tristan, this may be off the topic but, i was there at the LIVE event last weekend, too bad I didn’t got the chance to get hold and buy an RPC/LU! jacket… It’s like it was swept away, I was really hoping to have one. /sob
