How Cute

Pastries in the shape of smiling little piggies!  With custard filling inside and bearing the letter 복 (pronounced "bok", and it means good fortune) on their backs.  Seen at an underground shopping mall in central Seoul.


[In East Asia pigs symbolize prosperity;  bok-dwe-ji ("good fortune pig") is an established idiom in the Korean language]
