was never a huge fan of injeolmi but this bun converted me.. had it chilled and it was perfect🤤 the bread to filling ratio is nice and the mochi is really chewyyy!! rly glad i still have 2 more in my fridge HAHAHH
Matcha Cookie Bun ($2 promo)
Strong bitter undertones exude from the plenteous matcha cream filling. Not overpoweringly so, balanced out by the mildly sweet crumble topping.
In comparison to the ones I’ve seen on IG, it seems that they’ve at least doubled or tripled the amount of cream since them 😳 Pretty worth the $2 if you ask me.

LOVED the injeolmi cream An amount this generous would usually be pretty off-putting to me, but its impressive light and airiness was hard to complain about.
I felt that the bits of red bean merely serve as an added texture to contrast the cream, as the scant amount really lacks any noticeable flavour. Perhaps a more prominent red bean could add a nice dimension in flavour, but honestly, I didn’t mind the injeolmi being the center of attention.
I liked it best chilled. Overall really balanced texturally and flavour-wise, worth a buy and a rebuy!

📝Cloud-like peanut cream, red bean paste, mochi, peanut powder
~$2~
TL;DR— IF YOU LOVE INJEOLMI BINGSU, GET THIS!! Soft bread filled generously with light and airy peanut cream, red bean paste and mochi. Decently sweet. A good pick me up but be warned you might not be able to stop after having just 1 🙈🙈🙈
The bun is filled with this cloud-like cream (diplomat cream?) that’s mildly sweet with notes of vanilla which is enveloped in the light embrace of peanut-y aroma. The cream is so light and airy it’s as if I’m consuming a wet peanut cloud. Plus, there’s a light layer red bean paste (with skin) AND mochi.
Also, the bread is so soft and fluffy (most probs tangzhong based bread so if you’re sensitive to gluten, should try to eat in moderation hehe)!! Hello, what’s there not to love?! The skin in the red bean paste makes it come off as not something that is bulk bought but rather, something handmade which I like. Also, idk how the mochi is soooo stretchy but I dig it.
Overall, they really hit home-run with this bread. All of the elements of “injeolmi red bean” are in harmony with each other—nothing overpowering each other and is satisfactorily sweet (IMO). Also, the textural contrast in this bread is quite surprising especially when it only costs $2. Will definitely buy again (and many times at that LOL!!)

🤔: They use really sour kimchi which I wasn't the biggest fan of, though the egg and cheese did help to mellow out the sourness
