Buttered's Grand Opening

Overview

Whether you've travelled to South Korea or simply caught the news, salt bread is quickly becoming a must-try pastry. Fortunately, South Korean bakery Buttered is swinging open its doors in Chippendale on Thursday, May 8, meaning experiencing what makes these sweet and buttery rolls special is easier than ever. 

Best of all, Buttered is celebrating its grand opening with an awesome giveaway. Running from 12pm on launch day until Sunday, May 11, the first 100 customers to make a salt bread purchase will score themselves a free coffee (limited to one per customer). Now you've got another excuse to head along. 

Behind Buttered is pastry chef Philip Choi, a graduate of Paris' renowned Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. After plying his trade at Seoul's top patisseries, he's bringing a range of treats to our shores, with salt bread as the headline attraction. For those yet to be acquainted, expect a bronzed exterior, layered folds and a chewy centre finished with a perfect pinch of sea salt.

However, there's more to Buttered than just the signature 'Salty Boi', with inventive flavours like roasted garlic and vanilla cream. Other tantalising treats include Tissue Bread – a soft, buttery pull-apart loaf – and the Waterfall Cake, featuring airy sponge layered with whipped cream and topped with seasonal fruits.
