Butt Bread

Eongdeongi Bbang (엉덩이 빵) is a pastry product by Wonjuni Bakery.  It’s a Korean-style steamed bun with French-style crème pâttisière.  The name translates to “butt (eongdeongi) bread (bbang),” presumably in reference to its baby-butt softness.  As yet, it’s still a cult item, though growing in national popularity.

Mom returned from a recent trip to Sokcho, where Wonjuni Bakery is based.  She brought back several packages of the butt bread, anticipating that IZ would like them.

Personally, I wasn’t that impressed.  Too soft, too creamy.  But I could see how others who do appreciate softness and creaminess would like them.

IZ loved them.
