When I was a kid, my parents would buy a tasty piece of bread and give them to me when they went out together. How delicious was the chewy dough and sprinkled with sugar! From pretzels made by twisting glutinous rice dough and deep-frying them, to donuts filled with sweet red bean paste, and vegetable bread with the crunchy texture of cabbage mixed with mayonnaise! Here are 7 memorable bakeries from around the country that bring back memories of those days.

â–²Review (Oh.Jjing2): If you visit this place, you must try these two dishes: pretzel and chewy noodles. It's a place I've been going to often since I was a kid, and I can still enjoy the same flavors today. The pretzel is deep-fried and has a really fluffy texture, and the chewy noodles are generous and the sauce is addictive!

You can also see the plum splash when entering, but the clean look gave me a sense of trust. I ordered a combination of pretzel and large onion… I ordered it for the first time, and it was nice that the gentle scent of green onions was refreshing.

Red bean donuts are full of adzuki beans on the inside, so even if you eat just one bite, the sweetness spreads.

As I passed by, I saw people standing in line and couldn't eat;; I understand why they were standing in line!! If I stand in line and eat in the future, I'm willing to eat it too!

A lot of people also bought cream and paddapan! Salad bread has the same taste as it used to be, and is full of mayonnaise! The raw donuts contain white bean paste, and they are light yet sweet, so they suit your taste.
