This Gyeongju – capital of old Shilla Kingdom in Korea – local red bean bread or manju cake was my favorite when I was working at Ulsan in Korea – I have always picked a box of this cake at Ulsan airport on every Friday night’s return flight to Seoul for 3-4 months and missed that since then.

This cake which was in my memory lane for long time still tasted great!
