This is yet another one of these unexpected bakeries found within Gangneung's market (or at least right on the edge of it). According to prior research, there were apparently other bakeries in the area, but I was unable to find them. Where were they?

In the end, however, I was not complaining, especially when coming away with some classic, very well-priced goodies from this old school street-side bakery. First of all, there was - yes, I know - yet another doughnut twist (around 1000 won). I swear, I did lay off a bit after this one. After all, it was hard to resist this golden brown twist with the black sesame mixed into the dough. Maybe it didn't have so much the taste of a sweet doughnut, but it was definitely a good one.

The highlight had to be the strawberry cream bun (3000 won), though. This loaf consisting of nine or so mini buns was so good! The bread had the perfect fluffy texture with just a hint of sweetness from the icing sugar on top. Add a little crumble, a swirl of custard... but don't forget that delicious filling of whipped cream and strawberry jam. Mmmm, everything was perfectly proportioned, so fresh and simply delicious. Probably the best cream bun of the trip.
