Photo of the Day: Penguin Tteok
As I mentioned before, I took a trip to Seoul last week to attend the 7th Annual Tteok Fair, a two-day event dedicated to the beloved Korean rice cake. Although I plan on writing more complete posts about the fair, I didn't want these nubbly penguin tteok from the rice cake making competition to get lost in the shuffle. Out of the hundreds of tteok creations I saw fashioned into flowers, tiered cakes, and other non-traditional shapes, I'm pretty sure these was the only ones shaped like penguins. They may not be elegant creations, but as a lover of all things that make me go, "Awww," these hold a special place in my heart.

Those are adorable. I ate tteok growing up, I'm gonna have to go ask my mom why she never made them into cute shapes!

So cute! If only they could mate with the panda cake you posted a while ago...those would be some cute (and tasty) offspring.
