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,這巧克力條是韓國其中一款最受歡迎的零食,甚至將11月11日定為「Pepero Day」,當天韓國人會互相交換Pepero,因為4個1就像代表著Pepero。其他種類還有果仁巧克力條、裡外都是巧克力的「nude pepero」,還有像Oreo的白曲奇巧克力條。

 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.

每個亞洲國家都有不同種類的蝦片,韓國也不例外,稱為「Saeukkang」(새우깡),解作用蝦製成的脆片,有土豆味、蕃薯味等等大量味道。韓式蝦片是其中韓國最古老的零食,現在我們見到的都很大包,KTV甚至會當成免費供應的食物。

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.

要說明這枝在韓國大受歡迎的冰棒恐怕一天也說不完,而當中最受歡的牌子莫過於Melona,這枝長條形的雪糕棒食下去就像濃縮了的蜜瓜,當然還有其他口味包括草莓、芒果和香蕉,是其中一款最容易在韓國以外找到的韓式冰棒。

你可以把這個甜甜脆脆、像粟米粒的零食當是早餐的穀物片吃,它內附一張可摺的迷你卡紙,可以充當匙子用來舀起裡面的零食。大部分韓國人會如吃穀物片般加入牛奶,味道亦大致跟其他穀物片一樣。
