착한시루 Chakan Siru — Spicy potato rice cake, just made to taste this good
#1 Ten in the morning
193 Gajeong-ro, a rice cake shop. At ten in the morning, rice cakes are being made in the work area at the back. A poster on the wall reads: ‘Even tastier with a spicy touch! Spicy potato rice cake, 1 piece, 2,000 won.’
#2 Even after trying them all
I have tried all the rice cakes here. Still, spicy potato rice cake is the one I always have to take home. Always. It really is delicious. Simply delicious. It feels made to be this way.
#3 While it is warm
It needs to be eaten warm. Fluffy and soft. A full potato flavor. But it is spicy. A spicy rice cake might seem unusual, but one bite makes sense of it.
#4 Even when I am full
Even if you feel too full to eat, I recommend buying at least one to try. It is only 2,000 won. If you have come this far, be sure to take one with you.
#5 Sunday
The poster says Sundays are for preordered rice cakes only. To buy spicy potato rice cake on the spot, I come on a weekday or Saturday.
A word for visitors from abroad
Even if you are full, buy one to try. It is a Korean rice cake with a spicy potato flavor. Eat it warm. Sundays are for preordered rice cakes only.

No festivals or famous sights today either — for me, a meal like this is a trip in itself.
