Overview
Butter just keeps giving Sydneysiders more reasons to go absolutely crazy for it. The cult favourite is already a palace of fried chicken, sneakers, Champagne and ramen. Now, you can add truffle to that list, too.
Executive chef Julian Cincotta has sourced a whole heap of the luxe ingredient from Western Australian's premiere truffle region, Manjumup, and has created a full menu around the stuff. He's taken Butter's existing fan favourites and truffled them all right up.
For $24, you can grab the shop's signature fried chicken sando, now smothered with truffle honey butter — made onsite using Pepe Saya, of course — and topped with fresh truffle shavings.
Hot truffle doughnuts also come lovingly glazed and topped with the same butter and shavings.
If a touch of truffle just doesn't cut it for you, punters can also go all in with the truffle fried chicken ramen — which, in addition to enoki mushrooms, greens and an egg, comes topped with a full eight grams of the decadent black fungus (for $20 bucks extra, that is).
The truffle madness will be short lived, though, and only runs through to late July when the season wraps up. So, if you want it, come and get it.
Butter's Truffle Menu is available at both the Surry Hills and Parramatta stores and is available until late July.
