My sister and I decided to go to Seoul, South Korea. We purposely chose to stay at Myeongdong for two reasons, shopping and street food!
Join my sister and I as we try some of the street food Myeongdong is famous for.
Tip: Come here with an empty stomach and a pocket full of cash lol 😅
11 Must-try Street Food of Myeongdong in No Particular Order
1. Tornado Potato
This is also available in other countries, like in the US. The special thing about the one from Myeongdong is its flavor! Love the variety of powder that you can choose from to dip your crispy potatoes. You can also get it with sausage.

2. Sausages and Fried Chicken
Try these sweet and spicy goodness that you will not get enough of!
3. Baked Cheese
There’s something about these baked mozzarella cheese with rice cake. Definitely give it a try! You can also add condensed milk over it.
4. Octopus Skewers
Another thing you can try are the octopus skewers. These are steamed/boiled octopus legs that are grilled. They serve it with dried Bonito flakes and teriyaki/sweet chili sauce. Yum!


5. Fried Shrimp
This was my sister’s choice. Deliciously fried battered shrimps sitting on spicy rice cakes. It sure was spicy and was really good!
5. Mandu (Korean Dumplings)

6. Odeng (Fish Cake)
The best street food to eat during cold nights. Love this one served in a cup with the soup.
