Bread and stone walls 💙💙✌️✌️ It's a great spot to grab bread to carry along after checking out Ikseon-dong. ![Bread bag held in front of the Seosullo-gil stone wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-09-z3525-900.webp) > Rice-cheese loaf ₩5,900 > Walnut bread ₩3,500 > Cheese bread ₩5,400 In this era of high prices, Munhwa Bakery is affordable and the breads are large.

Since I'd be eating them with my parents, I chose ones that were plain and not too creamy. ![Three plain breads chosen to eat with parents](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-11-179bh-900.webp) ![Packaged rice-cheese loaf and cheese bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-12-fonth-m-900.webp) ### Rice cheese loaf, 5,900 won A big, generous loaf studded with cheese as the main event!! The rice-chestnut loaf is delicious too, by the way — both the cheese and chestnut versions are good!!!! This time I went with cheese~ It's great that there isn't just one type of cheese but several 🥰🥰 I visited a bit early this time, so luckily the breads weren't sold out — these loaves are often gone by the time I usually get there~ ![Cross-section of the rice-cheese loaf studded with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-13-1le9u-900.webp) ### Cheese bread, 5,400 won My nieces and nephews eat this cheese bread up too. It's packed with cheese inside, so it's even better with a quick zap in the air fryer or microwave!!! Salty but not greasy — highly recommend it to anyone who loves cheese 🐤 ![Munhwa Bakery's cheese bread packed with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-14-kkurr-900.webp) ![Inside of the cheese bread, good for warming up](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-15-zwmk5-900.webp) ### Walnut bread, 3,500 won And then the walnut bread!! The crunch of the nuts on top makes it even more delicious. Walnut bread is hard to find at other chains too haha. It's really tasty and works perfectly as a light meal. ![Munhwa Bakery's walnut bread topped with nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-16-12fp3-900.webp) There are nuts studded inside too. Plain but sweet, which is exactly what my parents like. And it's cheap too, only around ₩3,000 haha. ![Cross-section of the walnut bread studded with nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-17-czgs1-900.webp) ![Walnut bread and rice loaf served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-18-1gfo7-900.webp) Looking at the photos makes me want to eat it again ㅠㅠ It goes perfectly with a latte!! ## Who should visit Munhwa Bakery? Ate well and finished off the day with a walk around Seosullo-gil!! ![Wrapping up the Munhwa Bakery outing with a Seosullo-gil walk](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread/munhwa-bakery-seosunra-walk-rice-cheese-bread-19-1iprt-900.webp) Highly recommend it as a gift stop when visiting Ikseon-dong haha.
