Gyeongju café buying two 15-piece walnut pastry gift sets: Buja Hodu

In short

Buja Hodu is a takeout walnut pastry shop on Gyeongju's Hwangridan-gil, Gyeongbuk. The writer bought two 15-piece mix sets, opened one to taste pea red bean, matcha, original and pea cream cheese fillings made with low-sugar red bean paste, and got the whole thing wrapped in a bojagi cloth. A solid pick for a holiday gift set.

And there's one more unique filling you can find at Buja Hodu!!! Pea cream cheese~~ I genuinely enjoyed how nutty and delicious it was!!! I'm a huge cream cheese person so haha

I'd recommend all three flavors at Buja Hodu, so if it's your first time, go with the mix!!!
