Korean street snacks are not only tasty but also rich in unique and authentic flavours. It’s no wonder that they play such an important role in the popular Korean culture that has taken the world by storm. In ‘K-Pop Street Bites’, we’ll delve into the street snacks found in Korea from a cutting-edge cultural perspective, as well as exploring home goods and kitchenware designed to align with Korean lifestyle trends. Let’s enjoy delicious food while getting acquainted with the latest Korean trends!
Embrace the “Half & Half” Culture
Ever looked at the menu and can’t decide what you should order? In South Korea, it is common to see “half & half” options at cafes and restaurants – the “Original + Spicy” combo at fried chicken restaurants is an excellent example. If you’re looking for delicious afternoon snacks or a quick and easy meal but often find yourself deciding between flavours, then Pink Rocket’s tteokbokki in a cup – ready in 3 minutes and comes in a range of mouth-watering flavours – is exactly what you need!
Pink Rocket Carbonara Topokki Cup
Hearty with a creamy richness.
Pink Rocket Tomato Topokki Cup
Enjoy the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes.
Pink Rocket Honey Garlic Topokki Cup
