| Korean Winter Snack Bungeo-ppang |
When winter is coming, there’s a special food that Koreans look for. It’s Bungeo-ppang. Bungeo-ppang is a fish-shaped pastry with sweet red bean paste. Literally bungeo means fish and ppang means kind of bread or pastry in Korean. It’s the most popular Korean street food in winter. “ I gotta carry around $1 in my pocket to get Bungeo-ppang ..” This’s what Korean says like a habit in winter. Now in mid-November, Many of Bungeo-ppang are already starting to appear on the streets.

Although red bean taste is the original, there are lots of flavors as well such as cream puff, pizza, even spicy flavor. So what is your taste? Personally, I like the original the most. By the way, when I was a little kid, Bungeo-ppang used to be $1 for 7, but nowdays it’s a dollar for 3.
| Application for Bungeo-ppang |
There is a new word 'Bung-segwon' refers to a residential area or district located near a store selling Bungeo-ppang. And also, this year, a new application has been released in Korea, which informs the location of the Bungeo-ppang stores. By using this app, we can see our location and the location of Bungeo-ppang stores nearby. Even if it's just a tiny fish-shaped snack, it's pretty important to Korean and gives us lots of happiness every winter.
