The ajummas and ajeossis of the Noryangjin Fish Market would warm their hands from time to time on a tin can with live charcoal. Almost every fish vendor has one near its stall. Yet another Korean winter solution.

Kerupuk Tin Can

Leave a comment Posted by on January 16, 2014

A see-through tin receptacle for large kerupuk (starch/flour/rice crackers) that are oftentimes eaten as side dish to a rice meal, as in one would chomp on the crackers, then partake on rice with viand using hands, then chomp on the crackers again and so on in that manner.  I’ve easily acquired the taste and habit of having kerupuk in my meals and have simply adapted to this kind of eating while I was in Indonesia.
