1. [+1,077, -26] I miss the days a row of kimbap used to be 1,000 won... Though the fillings have gotten more diverse, the price has also gone up to 5,500 won. Far too much for a snack to fill a starving tummy...

2. [+774, -18] Ddukbokgi's the type of food that makes you crave it just by thinking about it. And pop a kimbap in your mouth too? Ahhh, too delicious...

3. [+23, -2] Ddukbokgi may warm the soul but it also raises the body's blood sugar

4. [+21, -0] The best food that warms the soul is your mother's cooking!!!

5. [+15, -2] Kimbap's a perfect dish, isn't it? It's delicious, nutritious, easy to eat, simple... Though it was once a beloved commoner's dish, the prices that it has climbed to lately don't feel all that commoner...

6. [+15, -4] The soul food of high school girls ㅋㅋ

7. [+14, -3] I think it's even more so because they're both served warm

8. [+12, -3] I don't know that kimbap was ever considered street food though?

9. [+10, -4] I'm surprised anyone would suggest ddukbokgi to foreigners

10. [+7, -3] That's a good list, I'll admit ddukbokgi and kimbap would be my choices too

11. [+7, -1] Kkoma kimbap and ddukbokgi are the perfect combo ♡

12. [+7, -2] I'd add hotteok to the list

13. [+6, -0] Whoever put this on the list knows what they're talking about~ kimbap and ddukbokgi are yummy indeed~

14. [+6, -0] You also need to add soondae to dip into the ddukbokgi sauce and a cup of eomuk broth on the side to sip on

15. [+5, -0] Hmm... I was always under the impression that foreigners hated ddukbokgi. I heard that it's not only too spicy but the texture is also too slippery and chewy..
