G-dragon Reco: Must-buy souvenir from Seoul! ✨

If you're struggling to decide on souvenirs to bring back from Seoul for your friends or family, I recommend considering Golden Piece's Yakgwa Set! 😚

These treats are famously known as "G-Dragon's Yakgwa" because they were featured at the launch event of a collaborative pop-up store with G-DRAGON and NIKE, where they served Golden Piece desserts as small gifts for attendees (Source: creatrip.com).

Now, what exactly is Yakgwa? It's a traditional Korean confection, a deep-fried, wheat-based hangwa made with honey, cheongju, sesame oil, and ginger juice.

I first came across Yakgwa through Netflix series, Alchemy of Souls, where Jang Uk's favorite dessert is referred to as "honey biscuits." Intrigued by the way he enjoyed it, I became curious about its taste.

During my trip to Seoul in 2022, I had the opportunity to try it, and I must say, I love it! It brings to mind the Chinese Twisted Fried Dough, Mahua 麻花. If you enjoy Mahua, you'll likely appreciate Yakgwa as well!

Luckily, we found these delightful treats at MUSINSA Terrace Seongsu where Golden Piece had a small cafe + pop-up booth. It's a unique and memorable souvenir option, surpassing the usual choices of facial masks or Lotte Mart snacks. 💯 @Lemon8_SG
