No 4. Korean crackers (Sang Gwa ja 생과자)
생과자 is very popular in South Korea, it has various taste, shape, ingredient, and smell. As I’m sure you’re aware, all of the most delicious snacks in life are full of some form of sugar, flour, or oil. I am excited to inform you that Korean sweet cakes are full of all three of those delicious ingredients!
This snack is also perfect for an early day craving because it’s light enough that if you’ve had a large breakfast (or if you have a large lunch coming up), it’ll satisfy your snack craving without making you too full or ruining your appetite. Also, although we’ve been singing the praises of waffle mate paired with a hot beverage, they’re also fantastic on their own so don’t be discouraged if you don’t have a cup of coffee handy.
