Beat the Summer Heat with this Fish Ice Cream Korean Treat!

Beat the Summer Heat with this Fish Ice Cream Korean Treat! - The Daebak Company

Many of us desire a refreshing and cooling snack known as ice cream in the summer, and South Korea may have just invented the coolest way to bring it to us! The fish ice cream Korean treat is a twist on the standard ice cream, shaped like the must-try Korean street food: bungeoppang

Bungeoppang is a crispy, hot fish-shaped pastry with a red bean filling. Bungeo means “crucian carp,” and ppang equals “bread.” It’s been sold and made in many Korean households since the 1930s, similar to the Japanese taiyaki.

As Snacks

BTS members love snacking before or after their performance, and you can see how BTS Jung Kook devoured ice creams in one of BANGTAN TV's Bangtan Bomb episodes, including the fish shaped ice cream Korean sweet snack!

The ice cream shaped like bungeoppang inspired companies to turn this fish ice cream into snacks. No need to worry about freezing and long storage! 

You can munch on Orion Fish-shaped bread! It is a combination of bungeoppang and its fish ice cream Korean treat counterpart. Instead of the traditional red bean filling, it has a chocolate flavor that would taste like when refrigerated though customers love it as it is. It also has a chewy waffle like the ones in bungeoppang!
