Hi,

 I'm trying to find a place in Northern California
that sells a Korean snack called Ho-tuck, or Hottuck 
(approximate spelling). It's a small, round crepe-
looking snack with a sweet filling (brown sugar, I
think, sometimes with nuts). 

 It's possible to buy the frozen variety at Korean 
grocery stores, but the taste is very different from the
freshly made, high in fat and cholesterol version that
I grew up with. It's sold in Korea on street corners and
in some grocery stores.

 I haven't been able to find a place in Sacramento that
sells this, but I'm hoping that perhaps there's a grocery
store or cafe in the Bay Area that might make this snack.

 Failing that, if anyone's got the recipe, that'd be almost
as cool. B-)

 Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Since I'm also looking for a Korean "Appetizer" of sorts, I'd
love to know of a place I could get a Mung-Bean Pancake (These
must be made fresh - so I'm looking for restaurants, I guess)

(Speaking of which, I have 4 quart-size crocks of kim-chee
of kimche that have been sitting for about a week now.  Anybody 
care for a whif?  I'll put them in the fridge now...)

As for Ho-tuck, from your description I could only offer
a Greek Baklava which is commonly available.  The pastry would be
different; crispy rather than soft.  Lots of butter and carbs, 
though.
