Hundred of in-debted players accept a mysterious invitation to play various children’s games for a chance at winning a staggering amount of money. But the stakes are dangerously deadly because if you lose the game, you also lose your life.
Dishes in Squid Game and Where To Get Them
Tteokbokki
Kko Kko
We see Tteokbokki eaten in the first episode, when one of the main characters, Gi-Hun, takes his daughter to dinner to celebrate her birthday. The scene was not only moving, but it also made us crave the spicy rice cake dish!
Good thing Kko Kko offers Tteokbokki in different types for you to enjoy! They have it in original flavor or with cheese but if you’ve got a big appetite, try this Dak Galbi which is a mix of tteokbokki with chicken, veggies, and cheese!
Available for: Dine-in, take-out, and delivery via GrabFood or FoodPanda.

Honeycomb Candy
Big G Family Mart
Perhaps the most iconic food that’s been featured in the show is the Honeycomb candy. The treat, also known as Dalgona Candy, is a popular Korean sweet treat loved by kids especially because of the fun shapes. But we all know the shapes weren’t as fun in the game itself, huh?
At Big G Family Mart, they have the Squid Game Challenge wherein players try to trace the shape without breaking the candy in under five minutes! Winners can get it for free, but losers have to pay up!
Available for: Take-out and delivery.

Steak
Blakes Wings and Steaks
Steak was the “last supper” of the final contestants before the last big game. The dish itself looked juicy and delicious, but the scene had so much tension that it was hard to work up an appetite!
Still, if you’re thinking about steak, head over to Blakes Wings and Steaks and treat yourself to a succulent, tender piece of meat!
