Korea's dessert buzz: pumpkin salad and yakgwa

Korean food blogs are spotlighting two nostalgic desserts: a creamy, sweet pumpkin salad from Pizza Hut's early-2000s menu, and traditional yakgwa honey cookies, a chewy ginger-honey treat. These posts reflect a current fondness for retro and holiday sweets, with yakgwa tied to seasonal celebrations. However, there's no evidence of a single dominant obsession; the buzz is split between these comfort foods.
