During our roadtrip from Seoul to Gangneung, we stopped by Ahnheung Steamed Bun Village. In Korean it is written as 안흥찐빵 마을 (Ahnheung Jjinppang Maeul). We tried buns with various filling, including the Classic Jjinppang with red bean, Custard Cream Jjinppang, and Chocolate Jjinppang. Watch the full video below for the detailed tour and food review!

Said to be the most famous jjinppang shop in the area, we discovered their buns had the thickest skin. If you prefer mild flavors, then this is for you.
The colder the weather, the more cozy the steam!
I gobbled down the interior red bean first. As for the leftover thick skin, I'd like to dip them into a sauce :)

Friendly local who loaded us up with steamed buns. She was enthused to see foreigners and spoiled us with her tender loving care :)
Showing you how thick the exterior skin is. Compared to the previous shop we visited (the one with the grandma painted on the wall), the buns here have more red bean filling and thinner skin. More tasty this way!

Two Custard Cream Jjinppang on top a layer of Chocolate Jjinppang.
Admire how glossy the filling is in the Chocolate Jjinppang!
Walnut inside the Custard Cream Jjinppang. Woot woot!
Fei enthused by her sweet Chocolate Jjinppang. It's her favorite one of all that we tried today!
Jjinppang make great heating pads. They are also very moisturizing thanks to their steamy nature.

Each cabbage head goes through three washes.
Hearing them rise the leaves made a refreshing sound. If you're into ASMR or nature soundtracks, you're going to love this!
Suck kindness! One of the women packed us two giants heads of washed cabbage!
This bag of cabbage can be used as weights. Let me squeeze in a mini workout for my biceps.
For dinner, we bought chicken and steamed egg at the convenience store near the hotel. I wrapped the cabbage leaves into roll with the ingredients.
Tadah! Enjoying every yummy bite while thinking of the friendly locals we encountered earlier that day :)
