Tteokbokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake)

Tteokbokki Restaurant

(Stir-fried Rice Cake)

Tto Bo Ge Jji  또보겠지 떡볶이

This is a very very popular Tteokbokki(떡볶이) restaurant in Hongdae!!!

It's getting more and more popular,

and I see so many people waiting in a line in front of this restaurant

every time when I pass by here.

Crazyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I love Tteokbokki, so I usually have it almost every week.

For me,

this is the best Tteokbokki ever!!!

So much better than any where else!

Ta-da!!

This is The Tteokbokki!! 

People wait for an hour to have this!

So fresh and tasty. Also spicy, of course! :D Love it!

I just love the fresh mint leaves on top as well as the fried fish cakes. :D

You need to boil this Tteokbokki for few minutes and start with noodle first.

It can be very spicy for you.... :(

I strongly recommend the Garlic Butter Fries!!! Especially for ones who can't take spicy food well. The sweetness of the fries will ease your tongue... :)) 

THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Garlic Butter Fries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Taste amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just so delicious!!!

Everyone loves this!!! So sweet and yum!!! It goes so well with spicy Tteokbokki!!! :)

You can order fried rice after you finish Tteokbokki. :)

This is the Flying Fish Roe Fried Rice. It's the most popular fried rice menu here.

:D We added cheese on top!

I actually went this restaurant in Hongdae and waited for more than 30 minutes...

but still many people were waiting before me... so I gave up, at the end!

Then, I moved to Sinchon to have this at the Sinchon branch!!! haha...

Sinchon one was newly opened, so there weren't many people yet.

And I went to the Sinchon one many times... 

It's so addictive!!!!!!!!!

MUST TRY IT!!!

* Business Hours: ~ 10 PM

1. Tteokbokki 떡볶이

Rice Cakes in Hot Sauce

It looks really spicy, and it is quite spicy. :-)
You'll love this if you like to eat spicy food,
Rice cakes, fish cakes, and some vegetables
such as cabbage, onion, perilla leaves are in here.

The rice cakes are soooooo soft!  

This is called Sundae (순대) which can be a kind of sausages.

Usually, you can find this in any TTokbokki shop / restaurants.

Sundae is made by kneading together a seasoned mixture of

glutinous rice, bean curd, scallions, mung-bean sprouts,

and shiitake mushrooms and stuffing it into casings made of hog intestines,

which are then tied off at the ends and boiled.

Mini Kimbap (김밥)! It's similar as Japanese sushi.

It's yum if you dip them into the Tteokbokki sauce. :))
We love to eat Kimbap (the normal ones not the small ones),
especially when we go on a picnic!! :)

It's easy to carry and eat anywhere!
Also, we like to eat Kimbap

when we don't have much time to have a meal.
It's always quick and easy to eat Kimbap! :))

and it is a health food. :))

There are usually rice, spinach(or cucumber), ham, egg, pickled radish,
and some other ingredients in Kimbap.
There're Tuna Kimbap which is my favorite, Kimchi Kimbap,

Beef Kimbap, Cheese Kimbap, Anchovy Kimbap, and many others..

Fish cake skewer. :) (오뎅꼬치)

You deep this fish cake into a soy bean sauce. :-)

The soup of this fish cake is delicious!

It's good to drink it when you're eating spicy food!
