Let’s be honest: there’s not a day where we don’t watch K-dramas and drool over the food they eat. In fact, it’s such a torture to even think about how we were not in Korea to taste them by ourselves. More than the jjajangmyeon, samgyeopsal, and bibimbap, we also have the craze for the K-snacks we see in between scenes.
As the lead couples stroll around the streets, we see corndogs, fishcakes, bungeo-ppang, tteokbokki, and other korean snacks and street foods in the background. And before we even know it, we’re just craving for them and looking for ways to satisfy our growling stomachs.
From breakfast pleasures to mid-week decadents, here are a few local food shops that can help you satisfy your K-snacks cravings.
Cafe Constancia
Chances are you have tried these treats already or just mustering up an appetite for the famous, ever-drooling corndogs. But wait, Cafe Constancia is “not your ordinary corndog” pining. With their satisfyingly ridden products, this one-stop shop has your fried lured to perfection.
More than the usual sausage, mozzarella cheese or the combination of two skewered and coated in cornmeal batter, they have squid ink-flavored bite on their menu.
You can choose among their treats of Classic corn dog (P69), Classic Cheddar (P89), Potato Mozza (P99), Cheesy Squid (P89), and Double Cheese (P99), or if you are after all these tastes, grab their classic bundle treat that comes with four dips for only P430.
To order, drop by their location at Quezon City or slide into their DM via Instagram.
Kuro Kuro Crofffle
Bannering the name to bring Korea’s newest popular snack, Kuro Kuro Croffle gives their customers a fusion of our breakfast pleasures: croissants and waffles.
Each croffle is rainbow-like topped with sugary-sweet syrup and garnished with delectable candies. One of their best-sellers is the Matcha Choco Bits sprinkled with chocolate chips and matcha maple, available for P85.
To butter up their twist, Kuro Kuro Croffle has mini croffles that are perfect for your little ones. All their goodies can be purchased via their Instagram or their website.
Sunny Side Cafe
Those of you who are part of the breakfast club, this is your shop! Sunny Side Cafe is here and serving you with their variants of Korean-inspired egg drop sandwich for a cheaper price. Their popular bacon egg and cheese sandwich is a bomb! Believe it or not, the creamy mayonnaise is melting and oozing out of its bread, and surprisingly, a box is enough for a head or two!
Aside from their enticing packaging, the meal by itself is visually appetizing and ‘instagrammable’! Eggcited to try their flavors? Feel free to place your order via their Instagram or book a rider now and get these treats delivered from New Manila, near Greenhills.
Sugar and dough
Sugar and Dough is known for their winning strawberry milk doughnuts. For P300, you can play up your sweet tooth with a box of 6 of these glazed-doughnut bases split in half, stuffed with fresh strawberries and milkier puffy cream!
This Taguig-based pastry shop also offers luscious confections that you might want to get a taste of. Check out their Instagram for more details.
Lady’s Bakery
Looking for something garlicky and savory? Why not try Korea’s famous cream cheese garlic bread recreated by Lady’s Bakery. Their buns are moist and enriched with butter and all that goodness-to-heaven fillings, while the flavor is balanced with tangy dried parsley and basil.
