We are just beginning to try all the different kinds of street food, so we often point and hold up a single finger to ask for one. It seems to be impossible to order just one of anything.
When I point to a circle of mandu and hold up a single finger, the vendor nods and smiles immediately, like she knows what I want, and then puts eight mandu in a box. When Anna and I tried to order a single bungeoppang (goldfish bread, sweet waffle batter pressed into the shape of a goldfish and filled with sweet red bean paste) the woman acknowledged our single finger and then gave us four. Good thing they only cost 1000 won, or about $.83.
