'Fig' is a fruit that does not bloom. If you cut a round, cone-shaped fig in half, it reveals its thick red inner skin. The medicine is to eat the tough skin as it is with the sweet filling. When your mouth is filled with vivid sweetness, the fig seeds that pop quickly add to the fun of chewing. Figs can only be enjoyed raw from August to November! Here are 5 places where you can enjoy sweets made from these precious berries.
1. 'Cafe Somemore' in Songdo, Incheon, with a lovely atmosphere
It's a small cafe with about 5 tables and sells simple kitchen menus, desserts, and cafe drinks. It has a warm and lovely atmosphere and is popular among women. The cakes and brunch menus that are prepared vary daily and can be checked on the official Instagram. The popular menu is âSummer Color,â an open toast with ricotta cheese, figs, cream cheese, and peaches placed on top of rye bread. You can add sweetness with the maple syrup that comes with it. Please note that inquiries about whole cakes can be made through KakaTalk, and parking is available at Lotte Castle's underground parking lot.
