Gwaja from South Korea: Lotte Leaf Pie
자연을 닮은 립파이. The Korean says it’s filled with nature. Get it? Not only is it shaped like a leaf…
I enjoyed eating this… Leaf Pie from the Lotte company of South Korea. The label also calls it a premium pastry pie. But mass-produced of course.
There are about 6 or 8 individually foil-wrapped leaf-shaped pastries in the box, which says it sells for 2,000 Korean won in South Korea. I was able to buy it at Gaju Market on sale for 99 American cents. Probably because the expiration date is October 2009.
