Fried Honey Cake (Yakgwa in Korean)

YakgwaRecently I’m into this little cake called “Yakgwa” in Korean.

Yakgwa is a Korean traditional cake made from wheat flour, oil, and some honey.

I haven’t bought this in a while, but during the chuseok holiday it grabbed my attention.

It is one of the “Jesa” (memorial service for the ancestor) foods. But I am just enjoying it as my snack food. :)

Its price ranges from 900 to 1200 won (US $0.95 to 1.25) for this long pack (Below). (I think it is quite cheap.)

I like this rice cake’s color, it is so beautiful. It looks sweet but it tastes plain. (so my husband doesn’t like it as much.)Its price was 2000 won (US $2.10). It seemed expensive to me since it is only 3 pieces.Mujigae means “rainbow” in Korean. Apparently this has the meaning of “Achieve your Dream or Wish”. So you definately should try some.
