Gimpo Gurae-dong bakery with Gimpo Pay QR discount: Jinsim Castella

I'm Sulrogger.

The weather's been so nice lately that I just want to go out somewhere every day. Days like this call for a picnic or snack trip outdoors with my kid, and I've been getting ready to take my kid out after school soon. Snacks are what I worry about most when it comes to outings with my kid — honestly, I think I put more thought into the snack prep than the actual outing itself, haha. So as the dad, I was wondering what to pack, and decided to buy castella from Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch, a place our whole family loves, and head out.

Where is Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch?

Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch is located in the Gurae-dong shopping district in Gimpo. There's a ton of good food and fun stuff to do around here, so it's a neighborhood our family often drives out to just to hang around. This day too, since we were already in Gurae-dong, we decided to stop by our favorite Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch.

Kiosk ordering and 10% off with Gimpo Pay

At Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch you can order at the kiosk, and since they accept Gimpo Pay, you can also pay with a Gimpo Pay QR code. Our family pays with Gimpo Pay pretty often, and getting a 10% discount on top is such a steal, haha. I really should have stocked up more when the Gimpo Pay discount was running... now my balance is almost gone, which is a bit of a bummer.

In one corner of Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch, there's a guide on how to enjoy the castella best. Honestly, Jinsim Castella tastes great no matter how you eat it, but it's still nice to follow the recommended way for the best experience.

Packed generously as a gift for friends

On the way home after buying castella from Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch. I bought plenty, both for our family to eat and to gift to some friends. I once gave this castella as a gift to a friend before, and they loved it so much. So this time I gave it to another friend, and a few days later got a message on KakaoTalk saying how delicious it was, which made me really happy. As I get older, I've started finding joy not just in taking care of my own family, but in taking care of friends too.

Castella packed up from Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch. I was trying to take a nice photo, but my kid couldn't resist and had already eaten part of it. When I said, hey, I need to take a photo of this first, my kid said the smell was just too good and had to eat it, haha. Well, what can I do — it's my own fault for buying such a delicious snack, haha.

How a kid who dislikes castella ate a whole box in a day

As you can see from the photos, the castella at Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch is truly the peak of handmade castella. You can see at a glance how much egg is packed into the bread, and the nutty flavor and softness are on a completely different level from anything you'd find at a regular store. My kid personally isn't a huge fan of castella, but goes absolutely wild for the castella here, haha. And it's not like the size is small either — but somehow it's all gone in a single day, so what am I supposed to pack for our next trip snack, haha. Don't worry, dad will buy more^^
