The Charm of Rasgulla and Gulab Jamun
Much more than just desserts, they are cultural symbols. Whose mouth won’t water at the sight of juicy, soft and bouncy Bengali Rasgullas. And how can we miss the caramalised skin of Gulab Jamun, best if served hot with a more enhanced taste if garnished with cardamom or pistachios.
These sweets are not just desserts but the charm of Indian festivals such as Diwali, Eid and Raksha Bandhan, signifying the sweet togetherness. And of course, fans relate with Jungwon’s choice as it depicts the relationship between ENHYPEN’s music and ENGENEs.
