Papparoti bakes their way into your Seoul

Now if you have been taken in by the smells of Roti Boy you will now also be assailed by the familiar smells coming out of PappaRoti! I first came across Roti Boy in Malaysia and it's pretty delicious. Can't miss that smell wherever there's a bakery nearby. I was quite surprised to find a Roti Boy in Seoul and even more recently to find a spin-off called PappaRoti. Apparently the partners who set up Roti Boy had a falling out so one of them came out to set up PappaRoti.

I found one in Lotte Department store in the basement and was hooked in by the smell. Managed to get a nice cup of milk tea too which was pretty authentic. The kind of 'Lai Cha' you get in those HK cafes which have sprouted up everywhere in Malaysia and Singapore. Definitely a quick fix and worth a try. Warning: Queues on the weekends are crazy. Here are some pics as they prepare and bake the buns.

Scrumptious Cakes at Lotte Department Store

I was walking throught the Premium Food department at Lotte Department Store in Seoul the other day and came across their bakery section. Their cakes looked so delicious!
