Millennial being a millenial, I was extremely curious about this viral apple-shaped bun when the pop-up of Bakery 1946 (@Suhyeongdang) and St. Geundae Bakery (@Geundae Golmok Danpatppang) at @marketblue was announced. Since long queues could be expected, I was really thankful to @jurong for hosting this groupbuy so I could get my hands on at least one, fuss free!

Also known as DaeguNeunggeumbang, it was not difficult to understand why this apple-shaped bun was a crowd pleaser. In addition to its exceptionally realistic and detailed appearance, the bun was soft, fluffy and stuffed with cream cheese and diced apples in apple jam. The use of red rice flour was probably the reason attributed to the slight chewy texture. Pairing cream cheese helped to balance the sweetness from the apple jam while adding a hint of savouriness. I would still, however, recommend this to be shared.

The last pop-up will take place from 14 to 21 sept, where all kinds of bread will be up for grabs including a new item, the viral potato bread!
