Gyeongju 10 Won Bread

food drink

The Gyeongju ten won bread is a pastry shaped exactly like the ten won coin that has circulated in Korea since nineteen sixty-six. It features the same embossed image of the Dabotap Pagoda found at Bulguksa Temple. Inside the thick, chewy batter, bakers include a generous portion of mozzarella cheese. This snack gained massive popularity as a street food symbol of the city, turning a piece of currency into a toasted, gooey treat that visitors buy specifically to photograph against the historic backdrop.
