A 'sweet, salty, spicy' combination that both the spicy-haters and spicy-lovers will fall for… What happens when tteokbokki meets donuts?
A 'sweet, salty, spicy' combination has emerged that captures the taste buds of both the spice averse and the spice enthusiasts. This combination involves enjoying Dongdaemun Jjolmu Tteokbokki with Krispy Kreme’s 'Original Glazed' donuts.
On the 8th, Krispy Kreme shared a unique visual on their official SNS featuring a glazed donut placed on top of the spicy and provocative tteokbokki broth.
The visual of a tteokbokki piece resting on a donut may seem a bit unusual for now, but it is already generating quite a buzz among food enthusiasts.
Many are praising this combination for its addictive taste, where the signature savoriness of the tteokbokki is smoothly enveloped by the sweet donut, creating a bizarre yet harmonious flavor. The thin sugar coating of the donut complements the spicy and intense broth, providing an ultimate sweet-salty experience.
It has also been noted that saving some of the donut to enjoy later as a dessert with Coolpis can effectively soothe a tingling tongue.
Upon hearing this news, netizens who are experiencing this combination for the first time have shown enthusiastic reactions, saying, “My two favorite brands have come together,” “What’s up with this spicy yet sweet donut combination,” and “This is an unimaginable hit combo.”
“An unprecedented food enthusiast recipe, please name it yourself!”
Krispy Kreme, which has broadened the horizon of tteokbokki toppings with this unique combination, has started a contest with Dongdaemun Jjolmu Tteokbokki to give this combination a name.
On that day, Krispy Kreme requested, “Please name the sweet-salty honey combination 'Krispy Kreme Donut X Jjolmu Tteokbokki' which has become the top pick for food enthusiasts, providing an endless recipe for taste buds.”
The event runs from the 8th to the 17th, and through a lottery, a total of 20 people will receive coupons for 'Original Glazed Half Dozen + Jjolmu Tteokbokki' that can be used in the Lotte Eats app and the Jjolmu app.
Detailed participation methods and precautions for the event can be found on Krispy Kreme's official Instagram.
