Gangguan Honey Bread 강구안꿀빵
Tongyeong · Old Town, Gangguan & Dongpirang · Cafe
Honey bread, called kkulppang, is Tongyeong's signature snack: small fried dough balls filled with sweet red bean paste and coated in syrup and sesame. This shop sells it for takeaway on the lanes near the harbor, and several similar shops stand in the same stretch. Many travelers sample one or two and buy a box where they like the texture most.
A box makes an easy souvenir, though the syrup may leak in a hot bag, so keep it upright. The bread is best eaten the same day while the outside is still crisp. A small bag is cheap, so it fits any budget, and cash is handy.
It is on the lanes near Gangguan Harbor, about 10 minutes by taxi from the bus terminal. (Show a driver: 강구안꿀빵)
