Top Snack, High 1 Ski Resort, South Korea

In my near two month hiatus between uploading blogs from late January to last week, I took in a skiing trip to South Korea in late February. So this is part of the 'Greater Hong Kong' series.


The Top Snack is aptly named as it is located on the top slopes of the High1 ski resort. The resort is quite new and so is this eatery. It has a canteen style to it, which is functional enough for skiers taking a break. The menu was not extensive, with Korean dishes being offered and at first we chose fish balls / rolls in soup and steamed bread rolls, which we managed to communicate in English.


Our food was served quickly as they were already prepared and came in crockery and cutlery, and we proceeded to find a seat to start eating, which was not too much trouble. 


First Course of Fish ball in soup and Steamed Buns
The fishmeat had a decent flavour after being cooked in the soup and a spicy sauce dip for an extra kick. The bread rolls were sweet and had a red bean filling, which was unexpected but nice enough and complemented the light dough outside.


I was still hungry so decided to get a hot dog and hot chocolate from a concessionary store, still within the building. The hot dog was a plain sausage one topped with mustard and tomato ketchup that was applied onto the bun. The hot dog was tasty enough and filling and the hot chocolate warm and sweet so a nice accompaniment.


Second Course of Hot Dog and Hot Chocolate
Top Snack does the job satisfactorily, providing sustenance to hunger skiers / boarders and filled me up ready for my afternoon's skiing action. The food is fine, the tables and chairs and clean and functional and considering its location, it very reasonably priced.
