Korean Street-Food (no. 2)

Whenever I have a chance, I always buy Hotteok from vendors on the street. It's only available during the cold season (I don't know the reason behind this... ^^). I suppose, to make people feel warm?

Hotteok resembles a fried pancake, it's made of glutinous rice, black sugar, and peanuts... It tastes sweet and chewy like that of rice-cake.

I sometimes taste a hint of cinnamon but the taste differs from place to place. It costs 500 KRW for each or about half a dollar. In some place, it's cheaper than that. It's served straight from the pan so it's very hot so I often eat it with a cold glass of milk.
