Bungeoppang:Korean street snacks at the Red Bean Waffle House

Red Bean Waffle Ice Cream

 After we went for Korean BBQ, we had to have some Korean dessert. A tiny place in the same Yonge-Steeles complex as Kobi, this unassuming snack place turned out to be such a wonderful discovery! They don’t only serve red bean waffles, but they also serve other snacks like rice cakes, squidballs and dumplings.

Red bean waffle (Bungeoppang) is a popular street snack in Korea. It is a fish-shaped waffle which is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It is filled with red bean paste. 

Since we were full and we just wanted to try, we only ordered the red bean waffle ice cream. For $5, you get two scoops of ice cream with sprinkles and a chocolate stick in a fish-shaped red bean waffle. It was good and we really enjoyed it. They gave a generous serving of the ice cream and the red bean waffle was nice. It tasted fresh but it would be nice if it were warm. Still, since the hot waffle would easily melt the ice cream, I'll take it as is. The red bean paste did not overwhelm the waffle so if you are looking for that red bean taste, it might be better to just get these at Korean supermarket instead (sans the ice cream).

The presentation was beautiful, service was pretty quick and the price was ok. It is a great place to get some dessert. They only have a couple of tables, though, so be prepared to eat outside. We will be back to enjoy this again!
