Eating Korean Walnut Pastries at Toronto’s Hodo Kwaja | Eater

"In Toronto, a longtime shop has been specializing in hodu-gwaja (walnut cakes) for over 26 years, offering a nostalgic snack whose caramelized batter and red-bean aroma evokes windy, chilly Korean autumns. The pastries are often handed in white paper bags to keep them warm; the classic red-bean filling remains a favorite, while an equally sweet mashed-potato filling is also available and just as satisfying. Authentic hodu-gwaja is rare in North America, making this spot a cherished find for both visitors longing for those childhood flavors and newcomers." - Eater Video
