O Bok Korean Rice Cake

Well, since I mentioned Dah Won Rice Cake in my previous review, it's now time for me to tell you about Aurora's other well-known tteok [glutinous-rice cake] purveyor, O Bok Tteok.O Bok (in the same Havana/Yale stripmall as Mr. Panda Super Buffet - again, see previous review) is about the same size as Dah Won but a little more spartan. The coolers are smaller and fewer, and they tend to focus more on the plain tteok (they currently only have my favorite, ggul-tteok - the honey-sesame one - on Thursdays). But hey, that just means you have more ways to use it, right?When you buy an order of tteok, it may seem like a small amount. But once you bring it home, take it out of the wrapper and actually start working with it, you will see that it's a whole lotta cake! The last time I made a purchase from O Bok, I used some of it in a stirfry, ate some of it plain (when it's fresh it's actually really good like this), and... I can't recall what I did with the rest of it. My point is that I bought a lot without realizing it.But enough of my babbling - go to O Bok and see for yourself!PS Please note that when you step inside the entire staff may be back in the kitchen hard at work. (Time to make the tteok! Whew, I made the tteok). In these cases you may have to wave and gesture rather vividly to get their attention, as I discovered. But believe me, it's worth it.

Not the best rice cake store.... But pressure to go there since there are only two rice cake stores in Denver, which is very sad! That's OK though sine I don't go there often.
