Rice-dough walnut pastries on a Hwangnidan-gil backstreet, Gyeongju
Buja Hodu is a walnut pastry shop tucked in a backstreet just off the main Hwangnidan-gil road in Gyeongju. On a late weekend afternoon walk after Bomun Tourist Complex, I stopped by and ordered a 24-piece mix (red bean, pea cream cheese, matcha) with an iced americano, and the chewy Korean rice-dough texture packed with a whole walnut stood out. A solid Gyeongju travel snack and a decent holiday gift too.
