Unique food at K-Days is a staple, from cotton candy tacos to octopus lollipops and cheesy ramen corn dogs.
With K-Days 2024 just over a week away, the festival announced some of the new foods that will be available at this year's New Foods Competition.

If you need to keep moving to burn off all the calories you're eating, have the wok-n-go noodles locos, which features noodles and nachos in a bag topped with corn and dumplings. The street food-inspired combination we didn't know K-Days needed until it was here.

Is a grilled cheese donut sandwich with bacon or pulled pork a sweet or savoury food? Only the tasters can say for certain.

To wash it all down you could, and should, drink water, but there will also be mangoade, aloe vera lemonade, aloha lemonade and mango and coconut sago.
