Tteokbokki




A food that is featured a lot in mukbangs is tteokbokki. Tteokbokki is a Korean street food that is basically spicy rice cakes. It can also include things like fish cakes, cabbage, eggs, and as featured in the mukbang community, lots and lots of cheese. If ramen is added to the dish it becomes “rabokki”. This is personally one of my favorite Korean dishes and I actually eat it pretty frequently. It is very easy to make or if you would like to buy it premade, it is commonly on the menu of most Korean restaurants. If you live on Oahu and are interested in trying tteokbokki, I usually get mine pre-made at Palama Supermarket, or from Ireh (Korean Restaurant). I recommend trying it with the cheese.

    I believe I've tried this once before and it was really good! Not much Korean food gets presented to me, but this was something I remember liking a lot. Nice to know the actual name of it!

    I really like tteokbokki, it is one of my favorite Korean dish. But I've only eaten tteokbokki in Hawaii and always want to go to Korea to try the authentic tteokbokki. Do you happen to know if there is any difference between the one in Korea and Hawaii??

Kyoho grape jellies are a food I’ve noticed in a good amount of mukbangs. Japan is known for its Kyoho grapes which are very carefully farmed and considered a luxury. The Kyoho grape jelly incorporates the succulent flavor of these grapes into a jelly-textured dessert. There is a rubber packaging around each individual jelly that you have to pop or cut open which looks similar to grape skin and adds to the experience of eating them. According to my research, the jellies are only available in Japan. I was not even able to find a website containing them and all my information about them had to be collected from mukbangs. Due to the inaccessibility of the jellies, I have not yet been able to get my hands on them. I have however tried the Kyoho grapes before and it is unlike any other grape I’ve ever had. The flavor is so different than the typical green or red grapes I have gotten from Costco. I have never had a concord grape before but I have read that the flavor is similar to that. In m

This food is featured a lot in mukbangs because it has a hard outer shell that makes great sounds for ASMR when eaten and it is also very delicious. I have personally eaten tanghulu and I thought it tasted amazing. It is probably one of my favorite desserts now and I highly recommend you try it. It is also very easy to make and requires very few ingredients. Here is a link to a recipe for tanghulu!: https://www.easychineserecipes.com/tanghulu/
