I’m not sure what you guys have against the red bean filling - I kind of like it, even in ice cream. Yummy!

Exercise your language skills and reap the rewards: try to convince your tongne’s pung?쨈-ppang maker to provide you with empty “fish-breads”. Run home. Slice them half-open, fill with Nutella chocolate paste, enjoy…
