what was consumed: a cup of spiced fried chicken, tator tots, and rice cakes

it seems odd that i would include street "fast" food here, but it's just so good not to mention. 

when on the streets in front of eehwa women's university, there's a street food vendor that, turns out, is really popular. they take bite-sized pieces of fries chicken, rice cakes, and fried tator tots (yay tator tots!), and mix it together with a slightly sweet, slightly spicy sauce. they'll then pour the ingredients into a cup, hand it to you (after you pay), and you use toothpicks to enjoy the fare as you continue walking around.

yum.

i've seen this particular brand of chicken in a cup in other locations. i guess it's possible for street food to be franchised as well ... ??? either way, i'm happy to enjoy the few bites as a snack. always. and per usual. hehehehe.

what was consumed: 김밥! 그리고 주목밥! both in a few different styles with a few different fillings.

the area around eehwa women's university is known for some of their eats, especially ones that are popular among young college women. as a result, i'm usually more than happy to try any establishment that has been around, any place that has "made" the cut. and if friends initiate or want to come along, all the better!

friends and i were looking for a night on the town (i.e., a night of eating) in an area that wasn't our neighborhood. isa took the lead, and i was happy to follow along. friends j and j were also in town, so i was happy that we could all get together to form a large group. we decided to start the night with some bites of rice at noodle kimbap. 

noodle kimbap offers a variety of rice balls and kimbap. i would recommend going in groups in order to give yourself an opportunity to try as many as possible. some are wrapped in kim (seaweed) while others are intended to be consumed wrapped in lettuce leaves. there is a deceptive amount of rice that ultimately gets consumed, so be prepared for some massive belly expansion in order to accommodate the happy taste buds. 

and so, whether it's for a meal or a snack/appetizer, be sure to put noodle kimbap on your list!
