Just 1,000 Won in Your Pocket! What Will You Choose?

Bungeoppang vs Hotteok vs Eomuk vs Gyeranppang vs Hobang vs Jjinppang vs Gunbam

The editor uses a card wallet that can only hold one card and an ID. Since I usually don’t carry cash, I always prefer a thin and light wallet. Still, my wallet gets thicker in winter. Don’t misunderstand?it doesn’t mean I have a lot of money. In winter, street snacks like Bungeoppang, Hotteok, and Eomuk overflow on the streets. I fold and tuck some cash into my small wallet to buy those snacks. If I have just 1,000 won, I always wonder which snack to choose. So, I asked the Drinkit editors, “If you had only 1,000 won in your pocket, what would you choose?” Everyone has different tastes and preferences?let’s hear the editors’ choices and reasons!

Editor A: How can I choose just one? I can’t pick! Actually, I don’t want to choose. If I have to pick one, I’d choose Hotteok. There are many varieties like Japchae Hotteok, Pizza Hotteok, and Ice Cream Hotteok, but if I have the classic honey Hotteok, I can survive winter. When you get immersed in the warm, even hot, sweet honey, the cold instantly melts away. People say fried things taste good, but flour with an oily taste can’t be that delicious, right? Hotteok made at home with a mix is tasty, but it’s best when someone else makes it for you! ♥

Editor Sunditer: Winter = Bungeoppang, right? The reason it’s worth shivering and waiting in winter is the crispiness of Bungeoppang and the red bean filling inside. When you bite into the crispy fish head, the steaming hot red bean filling welcomes you! Of course, Eomuk broth is good, but nothing beats a freshly made, piping hot Bungeoppang. Sweet and warm, I can easily eat two or three at once.

Editor Yunditer: I can’t give up Bungeoppang. Actually, except for Bungeoppang, I can get and eat other snacks anytime I want. Eomuk is available all year round, as are steamed buns and egg bread. Bungeoppang is a default winter snack, grilled and sold outside in the cold, so I’d choose Bungeoppang without hesitation.

Editor Jungditer: Honestly, Bungeoppang is a seasonal food. I heard that flatfish, sea bream, and Spanish mackerel are in season in December, but I prefer to nourish my body with Bungeoppang. Any excuse to eat more! The warm feeling of blowing on it and eating it can only be felt now. Especially, I like cream-filled Bungeoppang. Red bean is a bit basic, so when I want a special treat, I go for sweet cream Bungeoppang!

Editor Jjunditer: Of course, Eomuk. These days, prices are high, so it’s hard to get one for 1,000 won, but I’d still choose Eomuk. The reason is the broth. Even if I just drink a few cups of the broth, it’s worth the money and cost-effective! A sip of the hot broth warms my whole body from the inside. When I want to enjoy it spicier and hotter, there’s a great option called spicy Eomuk, so without hesitation, I’d pick Eomuk.
