| - Sometimes in quiet moments of reflection, I ponder what would happen if I ever moved away from Toronto. And then I have a panic attack as I contemplate the reality of a life lived without Hodo Kwaja's amazing walnut cakes!
No word of a lie, these unique little delicacies are at the top of the list of things I would miss about this city! I would pay good money to have them shipped to me wherever I am.
Honestly, I am so in love with these walnut cakes. Every time I am anywhere near Koreatown, I stop for them. They are basically little balls shaped like walnuts, and they come with 3 different types of filling: mashed potato with walnut, mashed potato with almond, and red bean with walnut. My favourite one is the potato with walnut. (I'm thinking the potato filling is not quite traditionally Korean. I think it's made for Canadian tastes, and that the potato filling is something unique to this location.)
The price has gone up a bit lately. $2.25 for 6 walnut cakes, and $9 for 30. But it's okay. Just go ahead and get 30! Co-workers love when you bring these in to share. It's something different from timbits! Or, you know, you could just go ahead and eat all 30 yourself...in one sitting...
