Shopee also has the Onggojib Jaincheng Halal Tteokbokki Paste ($17 for 500g, halal-certified by the KMF) that comes with all of the rich and savoury tteokbokki flavouring mixed in. ? Just throw them all together and voila! Time to dig in!

Of course for days when we just don't feel like cooking or want a quick and savoury snack, instant tteokbokki can be a lifesaver. Mujigae Topokki($7.10 for 300g, halal-certified by MUI) comes with the tteok (rice cakes) and sauce packed separately and just needs to be heated up for about 5 minutes before it's ready. The sauce even includes fishcakes! The Korinus K-Bunsik Tokpoki Instant Spicy($4.78 for 140g, halal-certified by MUI) is another instant tteokbokki that comes with just tteok and sauce. Add in some sausages or a slice of cheese and your snack is ready to go. ?
2. Lazada
Lazada is another major e-commerce platform in Singapore and they have all you need for your tteokbokki cravings too, including the Onggojib Jaincheng Halal Tteokbokki Paste($16.90 for 500g). One thing you can find on Lazada you might not see on regular supermarket shelves is halal-certified Yopokki Instant Tteokbokki Rice Cake ($13 for 280g, halal-certified by KMF)! Yopokki is a popular instant tteokbokki brand, but we don't commonly see the halal version here in Singapore. ? Now's your chance to try it!
On top of that, Lazada has several listings by GotKimchi? which is a Muslim-owned Malaysian manufacturer of Korean products and dishes! ? TheirGotKimchi? Halal Tteokbokki Sauce ($12 for 300g, other sizes available) is great for whipping up a hot and spicy meal. If you or someone you know really loves Korean food then you can consider getting the GotKimchi? Halal Tteokbokki Set($36) which comes with tteokbokki sauce, danmuji pickled radish, spicy kimchi, and rice cakes!
