Recently, there is a dessert that is “hot†on Instagram feeds. November marks the end of the season in Korea, so the sweetness of “figs†is extremely sweet. Figs have soft flesh and chewy seeds that make you drool just by imagining them. Figs, which are sweet and tasty even when eaten alone, have been reborn as a variety of desserts. Just right! Here are some places that serve delicious fig desserts that can only be enjoyed at this time of year.
1. Lots of fresh figs! Busan 'Monster Pie'
“Monster Pieâ€, located on Haeundae Beach Road in Busan, is a cafe that sells tarts made with seasonal fruits and specializes in takeout, so the interior is not spacious. Among the “Monster Pie†tarts that are filled with fresh fruit and have bright visuals, the “fig tart†has recently been the hottest. The cream is applied to a hard tart paper and fresh figs are generously placed on it to show off its sweetness. The sweet and fresh peach tarts and blueberry tarts are also popular. They close when supplies run out, so it's a good idea to check their official Instagram account before visiting.
