Breaking the Dujokku seal by searching nearby. I feel like the price is very reasonable. Moderately crunchy and chewy texture. Go with Maengkongi instead of the vaguely expensive, sweet, and greasy restaurant. ^^

It was my first time going, and I liked that the owner was friendly and the kitchen was open!! The douchokku was delicious! I want to eat it again😁

I went there because I heard there was a 4,900 won Doojokku. It's good value for money and tastes good. I think the unique charm of this restaurant is that it has a lot of white chocolate flavor.

I am sad that Dujjoku has been withering these days. I was happy and bought it because I thought it was a fairly reasonable price. Overall, I would buy it again. It's moderately moist and sweet, so it's good, but! I was a little disappointed with Kadaif. Some of it looks like it's been fried a bit too much. Please make it more delicious next time!

It was my first time eating Maengkongine’s Douchokku and it exceeded my expectations! I really liked that it wasn't just a sweet dessert, but had a savory flavor, and I think it's a flavor that people of all ages will enjoy. The kadaif is crunchy and the spread is moist, so the texture is perfect 🫶 It's perfect when eaten with Americano... The store was clean and the owner was friendly, so I had a pleasant visit!! I plan to visit again 😋

I went to Seolleung to eat and was curious about butter rice cake so I went there. It was good value for money and delicious!! It feels like the portion of rice cake is bigger than other places, so it’s perfect!!

I was craving Dujjonku while I was at my part-time job, so I searched for it online and this was the closest place, so I bought some and stuffed myself. The owner said it tastes best if you wait 30 minutes, but I was too hungry and ate it right away. It was delicious even then, but it’s even better if you let it melt for about 30 minutes!

I was looking for a nearby place to have Dujjonku delivered to a friend, and I found this shop because it was unusual that they only sell Dujjonku!! The logo and Instagram were so fun, so I visitedㅎㅎ Thanks to the super kind owner, everything went smoothly, and I was very satisfied with the taste too!!!! As described, it's a sweet flavor with lots of white chocolate, but it's moist and nutty, so it was really tastyㅎㅎ Hope you keep thriving!!!

My girlfriend and I tried it, and it’s one of those moist, chewy treats you don’t see much these days! Other places were dry inside, but this one stayed moist and tasted so much better!!!😍😛😍 It was also inexpensive, so we ate very happily🤘😜🤘
