Similar to Japan’s Pocky, this chocolate stick is one big of a snack in Korea which even has a designated day for it, called ‘Pepero Day’ when Koreans exchange Pepero to each other on November 11st because of the four 1’s resembling Peperos on this day. Variations include the cookie stick covered in almond toppings, the chocolate coating in the inside instead of the outside, called ‘nude pepero,’ and white cookie peperos somewhat similar to Oreos.

跟日本的Pocky差不多,这巧克力条是韩国其中一款最受欢迎的零食,甚至将11月11日定为「Pepero Day」,当天韩国人会互相交换Pepero,因为4个1就像代表着Pepero。其他种类还有果仁巧克力条丶里外都是巧克力的「nude pepero」,还有像Oreo的白曲奇巧克力条。

 04 Saeukkang

The snack has variations such as potato-kkang, sweet potato-kkang and lots more. The Korean shrimp crackers are one of the oldest snacks in Korea. This comes out in big sizes too, easily given out as free service food in KTVs.

It could take days to explain about the tasty ice lollies in Korea, but here’s one signature brand - Melona. This rectangular ice cream just tastes like sweetened melon in a condensed form. This also comes out in different flavors such as strawberry, mango, and banana. This is one of the easiest Korean ice lollies you can find outside of Korea.

你可以把这个甜甜脆脆丶像粟米粒的零食当是早餐的谷物片吃,它内附一张可摺的迷你卡纸,可以充当匙子用来舀起里面的零食。大部分韩国人会如吃谷物片般加入牛奶,味道亦大致跟其他谷物片一样。
