I was walking home from work, feeling peckish and this hawker-styled stand suddenly stood out to me like an oasis.
I may not understand the korean words on the tags that's been put against the food, but I could tell what they were offering and it looked so good I was almost visibly salivating.
Corn dogs I've had before, and was something I didn't expect to see here. Happily, I ordered it to revisit the memories of eating it in my childhood years. Even though the batter wasn't as fluffy as I liked and the coating strangely crispy (almost similar to a Chicken Katsu coating), corn dogs are corn dogs and for 3 bucks I'm not complaining. One thing I would ask for next time is some ketchup or chilli sauce, otherwise it's a bit dry.
Now something I haven't tried before was deep fried sushi. I bought this also for novelty and the truth was I didn't know what to expect. It looked pretty good as they put some chilly sauce on the batter and it looked nice and moist.
With a bit of hesitation, I bit in. Yummmmmm. My misconception of deep frying something fresh and not to mention healthy like sushi was totally put aside. As a matter of fact, it tasted pretty damn good. Similar to deep fried ice cream, the batter added texture to the soft and gooey rice. And the chilli sauce definitely was pleasant kick to accompany the sweet pickle, egg and crabstick inside. The fact that the sushi was so fresh meant that it covered up some of the grease-factor from the deep fryer and made me feel (slightly) better about eating this.
I just needed to ensure that this being such a cheap and tasty snack, I don't get hooked...
