Street Food Yum - Red Bean Bun 진빵

Red bean buns (진빵) are a popular eat in the Asian culture, mostly in the Chinese culture, but this popular eat has adapted to other cultures which includes the Korean culture. A red bean paste is stuffed inside a flour bun that is steamed to perfection. The main difference between the Chinese and Korean red bean bun is that the Chinese one is a lot sweeter. The red bean is turned into a paste whereas Korea's buns are filled with whole or chopped up red beans. Nonetheless, this is an extremely cheap street food yum, two buns for a dollar is the cheapest I have seen it!

Street Food Yum - Red Bean Fish Pancakes

One of the popular eats in Korea is the fish shaped cakes that can be found in many street vendors along the train stations. For just two dollars, three pieces of yum that is not as sweet as other pastries in America. I absolutely love the crunchy burnt part that opens to a soft bread layer stuffed with red bean paste. 

Children love eating these little goodies, but there's no harm in having big kids consume as well. On a personal note, I just wish these goodies were a little sweeter because I have such a sweet tooth.
