Hi~ i'm your local guide Choi ji~!!!π
Just arrived in South Korea? Forget fancy restaurants for a moment!! — the real food
adventure starts at Korean convenience stores like GS25, CU, and 7-Eleven! They’re
mini edible playgrounds filled with snacks that locals swear by and tourists can’t stop buying.
Let’s snack our way through Korea! ππ₯
π₯π² 1. Cup Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) - μ»΅ λ‘λ³Άμ΄!
Street food vibes… but in a cup. Just heat, shake, and BOOM — chewy rice cakes
covered in spicy gochujang sauce. It’s basically Korea saying, “Welcome, now sweat a little.” ππΆ️
π₯΅ Tip: If you cry while eating, that means it’s good.
ππ 2. Banana Flavored Milk - λ°λλλ§ μ°μ
Cute bottle, legendary taste. Sweet, creamy, and loved since childhood —
it’s the BeyoncΓ© of Korean drinks. One sip and suddenly you’re 8 years old again riding a yellow school bus (emotionally).
π Best served C-O-L-D. Brain freeze approved.
π₯π― 3. Honey Butter Almonds - νλλ²ν° μλͺ¬λ
Crunchy almonds coated in magical honey-butter fairy dust. You think you’ll eat just one? π Nice try.
Buy two bags — one for you, one for your future self who will regret not buying more.
π Calories don’t count if you eat it happily.
π✨ 4. Triangle Kimbap - μΌκ°κΉλ°₯
The crown jewel of Korean convenience stores. Rice + seaweed + amazing fillings like
tuna mayo, bulgogi, spicy chicken… and it costs less than your coffee ππΈ.
π₯’ Pro Tip: Follow the numbers to open it.
Messing up = chaos. Opening it right = enlightenment.
π±π₯ 5. Instant Lunch Box (Dosirak) - νΈμμ λμλ½
A budget feast! Beef, spicy pork, fried chicken, side dishes, even kimchi… all in ONE box.
It’s like a tiny Korean restaurant but without the awkward “water please” in Korean moment.
π½️ Mix everything and eat like a proπ. Add kimchi = LEVEL UP.
ππ΄ Final Bite
There are hundreds of snacks waiting for you in Korean convenience stores, but these
five? π They’re the VIP members. Try them before you leave Korea — your taste buds
will fall in love, and your wallet will clap with joy ππΈπ€£.
