Related Areas/Places

After shopping for keychains at Dongdaemun Market, I was looking for a place to eat near Ttukseom Station and stumbled upon Hogwadang. Instagram Reels suggested a long wait, but when I visited, there was only one group ahead, so I could purchase it right away. The shop is takeout-only, and the display case had sweet potato pie, taco pie, and freshly baked apple pie. Tempted by the visuals, I bought two apple pies, one sweet potato pie, and one taco pie. Three were wrapped in plastic bags, and the one I would eat immediately was placed in a paper napkin and reheated in the microwave.

As I walked through Seoul Forest enjoying the pies, the crust was crispy and the inside was moist. The taco pie, in particular, had its cheese and tomato sauce separated, but it tasted good. The freshly baked apple pie, with the first bite, I thought it was a flavor my two men at home would love. The apple pie, made with apples stewed in sugar, had just the right amount of sweetness and seemed like something anyone could enjoy without complaint. I was so satisfied that I bought another apple pie on my way to Seongsu-dong after a stroll.

Ttukseom Seoul Forest and Seongsu-dong are only one subway stop apart, yet there was a noticeable difference in the number of tourists. Apart from The Coffee and Ferment Cafe, the area was relatively quiet. As the weather warms up, the number of visitors to Seoul Forest might increase, changing the situation, but if you like flaky pastry pies, I recommend visiting Hogwadang.
