Gyeongju train-wait walnut pastries and a 15-piece gift box: Buja Hodu
Buja Hodu is a walnut pastry shop a 3-5 minute walk from the main Hwangnidan-gil street in Gyeongju, where the pastries are made with 100% rice flour around a whole walnut. On the last day of a Gyeongju trip, the writer shared a 10-piece freshly packed set (5 low-sugar red bean and 5 pea cream cheese) with friends at Gyeongju Station, then picked up a 15-piece gift box of low-sugar red bean, pea cream cheese and matcha for a sister who is dieting. With a whole walnut in the center and sweetness kept light, Buja Hodu works as a dessert gift for family.
