At Nostalgic Dalgona, visitors can make and eat dalgona, a snack that has become world-famous as it frequently appears in Korean content such as drama series like Netflix's Squid Game and entertainment shows. The recipe requires using a ladle and heat to dissolve sugar mixed with a small amount of baking soda. Once dissolved, pour out the caramel-like mix onto a tray, then stamp the surface with a cookie cutter of a preferred shape, such as heart, animal figure, or umbrella. The process of tearing off the edges along the pattern like from the scene in Squid Game can be quite a challenge and fun at the same time.
