Maepkal Fish Cake Tteokbokki is one of my favorite GS25 convenience store tteokbokki options. Its rich broth and flavorful fish cakes make it especially good on its own or paired with a Korean triangle kimbap.

The package includes rice cakes, a separate pack of fish cakes, and spicy sauce seasoning for an easy convenience store meal. The generous fish cake portion makes this feel more satisfying than many basic cup tteokbokki options.

Before heating, the cup is generously filled with short rice cakes, seasoning powder, and several large pieces of fish cake. I especially liked that there was plenty of fish cake rather than just a few small pieces.

Maepkal Fish Cake Tteokbokki has a rich, spicy broth filled with chewy rice cakes and plenty of soft fish cake pieces. Despite the name, the spice level felt pleasantly moderate, and the savory broth had a slightly curry-like flavor to me.
