When shopping in Dong Dae Mun in Seoul, I made a street food yum that I could not help but to record. The traditional Korean Court Cake of the name Kkultarae 꿀타래 is also known as Yongsuyeom takes a hard chunk of honey and putting a hole in the honey, it is slowly stretched and powdered with corn starch constantly until becoming sixteen thousand three hundred and four thin strands of honey.
These strands are then sliced and stuffed with regular sesame, black sesame, and sugar. Combined, it is the ultimate sweet tooth satisfaction. It is amazing how the strands of honey melts in your mouth, leading you to the inner stuffings. For just $5, you receive a pretty box of 8. It is probably one of the best inventions I have found in Korea yet! You can probably even pick up a box for yourself, only if you are able to understand Korean by visiting the Se Jong Food website. When eating, be sure to pop them out from the bottom rather than lifting it out of the container. You can find these little carts all around popular areas of Seoul like Myeongdong and Insadong, but each have their own unique filling which are relatively similar.
