Meitawang in Seongsu: The Salted Egg Tart I Went Back For

September 2026 · Seoul, South Korea

A salted egg tart at Meitawang in Seongsu

I thought ₩5,800 sounded like a lot for one egg tart. Then I tried it, took more away, and later bought a three-piece box for the office. It made more sense once I saw how much custard fits inside.

What the salted tart tastes like

The wrapper says 150 g. Inside, the custard was dense and soft, somewhere between pudding and a very soft cheesecake. The pastry came in thick buttery layers, and the salt at the end was just enough to cut through the sweetness. One was plenty for me.

Single tart or the gift box?

The prices in my visit notes were ₩5,800 for one and ₩17,400 for three. The set worked out to the same price per tart and included the box and bag. I would buy one to try on a walk around Seongsu and choose the set if I were taking it to share.

How to find the Seongsu shop

Look for the first-floor shop at 43-1 Yeonmujang-gil. It is a short walk from Seongsu Station Exit 4. I’d go by subway and confirm opening hours if heading there late.
