The highlight of my trip to Korea was definitely Sungsimdang. It’s a place everyone must visit and try at least once. Since they don't have branches outside of Daejeon, you have to go there to get their bread, but it is absolutely worth the time and effort. There are five locations in total, and the Daejeon Station branch is the fastest place to buy bread. It has the earliest opening time at 7:00 AM, and its location inside the station makes it very easy to find. I took a train on Thursday morning, arrived around 9:40 AM, and was able to buy my bread after waiting in line for only about 10 minutes. The lines for regular bread and the Fried Soboro sets are different, so if you're with someone, it's much faster to split up and line up separately. Buying the Soboro in a set is a bit cheaper too. You absolutely must get the red bean and sweet potato flavors; the chive one is optional. Among the regular breads, the salt croissant is the best I've ever had. The pollack roe baguette is a must-buy, and I had a hard time choosing because so many other breads were both affordable and delicious. Even after keeping the Fried Soboro in the fridge and eating it the next day, it was still delicious. I recommend bringing an ice box or an insulated bag to keep the bread fresh while traveling. I'm telling you once more, Sungsimdang should be the top priority on your must-eat list. I'll probably feel homesick for Korea just thinking about their bread.😁
