Korea #1

this time i will write about my favorite korean food 'TOPPOGI'. do you know what is toppogi? it is kind of rice cake. you eat this with very spicy sauce. i couldnt eat it without water because it was toooooo HOT! the picture above is toppogi which i ate in korean and is the hottest toppogi ever had. there is a street where is called 'toppogi street'. along the street there are many toppogi restaurant.


this is the one (before cooked)
which i had in topogi street. 

then...


ready to eat! 
that was hot but also tasted sweet.you can order other foods which you want to eat with toppogi. i chose noodles, eggs, some vegetables and tofu. 
toppogi is very simple dish. all you have to do is put what you want to eat in a pot with spicy sauce so korean people often cook this at their home. its easy but its hard to get the spicy sauce in japan so if you want to eat toppogi go to tsuruhashi.
