Feeling hungry, Hogwadang appeared right in front of me, so I walked towards it.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the long waiting lines I remembered seeing on Instagram Reels, when I visited, only one team was waiting, so I was able to enter the store right away. This was a take-out specialty store.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10734_2_1770340246635.jpg\" alt=\"Storefront of Hogwadang\"><\/p>\n<p>There were three types of pies available on the display shelf inside the store, and freshly baked, warm apple pies were displayed separately on a stand.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10734_3_1770340236893.jpg\" alt=\"Hogwadang Pie Display\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10734_4_90025EF25BC25BF2026020425EF25BC25BF130746.jpg\" alt=\"Hogwadang Event Information\"> <\/p>\n<h3>A Diverse Lineup of Pies<\/h3>\n<p>At Hogwadang, you can find &#8216;Sweet Pumpkin Pie&#8217; topped with soboro and &#8216;Taco Pie&#8217; with tomatoes and cheese.

The taco pie was crispy on the outside, but the cheese and tomato sauce felt a bit separated, though the taste was good. The freshly baked apple pie, from the first bite, I thought it was a taste that both men at home would love. The apples were cooked with a satisfying texture, and the moderate sweetness made it a flavor that anyone, young or old, would enjoy. I even bought another apple pie on my way to Seongsu Station after my walk.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10734_12_90025EF25BC25BF1770334643558.jpg\" alt=\"Eating Pie during a walk in Seoul Forest\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10734_13_90025EF25BC25BF2026020425EF25BC25BF131651.jpg\" alt=\"Cross-section of Apple Pie\"> <\/p>\n<p>Although Ttukseom <a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/travel-destination\/south-korea\/seoul-special-city\/seongdong-district\/seoul-forest\/\">Seoul Forest<\/a> and Seongsu Station are only one stop apart, there was a noticeable difference in the number of tourists.
