More Korean food

I found these at the small shop across
from our house. The Korean on it says
"Choco hot cake u" and they were only
2,400 won. About the same as $2.40

This is my favorite 떡(tuck)
or rice cake. It is pumpkin flavor.
It has chestnuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds
and
red beans on the top.
This picture does not do it justice.

These are my two favorite Korean fruits.
The ones in the bowl are called 뗑검 (Dang Gam).
I have never seen them in America they are the size
of Cherry tomatoes, but taste like sweet oranges.
They are usually only out in the summer and spring,
but we saw them in the market on Wednesday so we had
to buy them. The other fruit are 꽃검 (Goat Gam)
Or dehydrated persimmon.

We walked just through the market today and
Boo took some pictures.
Are these fish pretty?

Those are rice cakes? And are the little oranges Kumquats? You'll have to let me know the full story behind the Juny attack.
