Korea - very nice cream (MUST TRY)

KOREA very nice ICE CREAM in the shape of a fish

a MUST EAT ice cream when you visit Korea or Japan

very hard to find in Singapore.  i found it in the food fair in expo changi.

While in Korea the name is Bungeoppang (붕어빵) , in Japan it’s called Taiyaki (鯛焼き), a Japanese fish-shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans (But, instead of only red bean paste, on this thing they plant ice cream and red bean paste on the top. A wafery crispy fish-shaped layer is covering the combination of red bean paste and ice cream on the inside make this snack looks so adorable. How about the taste? It’s irresistible.

Seoul Korea Famous Fish Market - Noryangin Fish Market

Seoul, Korea - famous Noryangjin Fish Market (open 24 hours) Great Place  for seafoods and experience
13-8 Noryangjin-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Getting there:
Take subway line 1 to Noryangjin Station. Go out exit 1 and walk for about 520 meters. Or you can take subway line 9 to Noryangjin Station, go out exit 1 and walk about 290 meters.

The Noryangjin Fish Market is a great "real Seoul" experience. This 24-hour, 7 days a week wholesale fish market is not just a cultural attraction, but both a sight for the eyes and a sensation for the taste-buds. If you can get up VERY early, you can see the fish auctions in the morning. But throughout the day, there is on display just about everything that swims, slithers, or sits about under water and is edible - plus a few things that don't exactly look too taste-tempting.
Be warned, just about every hawker there will try to coax you into buying something. The best thing to do is pick a stall with a good selection and just bargain there. You can usually get about 10% off what they first suggest. But it's best to check out the prices of at least two to three places before deciding on where to buy.
After wandering the alleyways between the various displays you can select a fish, have it swiftly turned into a plate of sashimi (or "hwe" in Korean) and then be escorted to a nearby restaurant where all the ancilliaries such as drinks, cutlery, and so on are provided. Plus, they'll take the bones and head and other left-overs and turn it into a steaming, spicy soup called "maeoontang". If you love fish, you simply MUST visit Noryangjin!

There are tons of vendors at Noryangjin Fish Market. The best way is by price as bargaining is considered normal practice. Once you pick and pay for your seafood, the vendor will slice the fish/seafood for you and then lead you to a restaurant (if you don’t already have one in mind). Once there, you’ll get a seat and be able to order drinks, rice, and anything else you might need. The restaurant can also cook the food that needs to be cooked (for a small fee). It’s a fun experience to see the older and more rustic/back-alley side of Seoul.
