   Gunsan Jungdong Hotteok

   군산중동호떡

   This is a 70-year-old hotteok (sweet filled pancake) shop located in Gunsan. It originally started in a humble store located right in front, but has relocated across the street and is now operating there. Inside, there are 3 to 4 tables and a waiting ticket machine. It is a famous place where you must take a number ticket to taste the food. Jungdong Hotteok contains white glutinous barley, a signature specialty of Gunsan, and black food powder (black beans, black rice, black sesame, etc.), giving it a savory, chewy, and clean taste. It is also characterized by an abundance of syrup inside that almost overflows. The recommended way to enjoy hotteok here is to tear the pancake with tongs, peel off the top skin, dip it into the syrup inside first, and then roll up the bottom skin with the remaining syrup to eat.MoreLess
