Street Food Yum - Waffles

One of the most popular sweet tooth satisfactions in Korea that is also a street food yum is the waffles. For only a dollar on average (in the streets), you can have a waffle topped with half honey and a cream of your choice. It is absolutely delicious and a quick pick up for anyone who loves waffles the way I do.

Because waffles are a popular snack to go with coffee, you can find waffles in may coffee shops, on average for a price of an American equivalent three dollars, but they are usually smaller in size. The best part about eating a waffle in a coffee shop is the many different toppings that you can have with your waffle which includes fruits and ice cream. 


The main difference between a street waffle and those in a coffee shop is the texture of the waffle. For those that are quick pick me ups on the street, it is usually the classic American thin waffle that is made with a  waffle pan. These are crispy and flat whereas the coffee shop's waffle vary in texture. Some may be flat, but usually it is a fluffy thick waffle that is made fresh. Regardless of what kind of waffle it is and the texture of the waffle, I believe Korea has one of the best waffles in the world!
