Hot dogs made with lotus leaf flour that you’ve never tasted before
Upon the changes in the image of Dumulmeori from a melodramatic heroine to a romantic comedy protagonist, these hot dogs had a great influence. Since the opening of Dumulmeori Lotus Hot Dogs in 2009, people have visited this area for more reasons than before. A reviewer even confessed that he (or she) rode a bicycle for about two hours to get this hot dog, generating buzz on SNS. Many, who had first doubted such unbelievable reviews, posted their own praises to "the best hot dog ever."
There is a long queue of people in front of the hot dog shop all year around. Twenty- or thirty- somethings in black clothes and cap, coat each sausage stick with batter, fries them, and hands them to customers. Waiting for their hot dogs, people murmur to each other: "I should've chosen the spicy one? No, the mild one would be better, don't you think?"
They keep asking themselves until they get their hot dogs at last. “Topped with sugar, ketchup, and mustard sauce?” There is no hesitation to the answer, "Yes!"
Lines of ketchup and mustard sauce cross each other on the hot dog with sprinkled sugar. Everyone is busy taking a picture of it and finally, take a bite of it.The hot dog bread made with lotus leaf flour is darker than ordinary ones. The combination of little spicy sausages and the lotus leaf bread creates a pleasantly soft and plain taste.
The shop opens from 9:00 am until sunset. It only closes in the event of a typhoon, earthquake, or tsunami! There are two menu item options: spicy hot dog and mild hot dog. Both are sold at KRW 3,000.
