Gyeongju Bread
Gyeongju bread, also sometimes called Hwangnam bread, is a local specialty of Gyeongju City, South Korea. It is a small pastry with a filling of red bean paste. Gyeongju bread was first baked in 1939 at a bakery in Hwangnam-dong in central Gyeongju. It has since become popular across the country and is produced by several different companies, all based in Gyeongju. It is sold at many locations in the city, and also at specialized stores around the country.
The Hwangnam Bakery has been a family business since 1939 and has a nation-wide reputation, with internet ordering available. Other businesses now make Gyeongju bread, but this is the original, and well worth waiting in line for some fresh from the oven.
