What I picked up: mango wakppu, potato bagel and baguette

This time at BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch I picked the fresh mango wakppu salt bread, the potato bagel and the baguette, all as takeout. To really get my sugar fix today, I chose the signature wakppu salt bread piled with zesty mango, plus the potato bagel and baguette, and finished my takeout order. 🥰

How does the BYWAY BAKERS potato bagel taste?

I ate the BYWAY BAKERS breads at home with iced Americano. I carried the neatly packed bread home with a fluttering heart, and as soon as I arrived I made a cold iced Americano and had the dessert time I'd been looking forward to. 👍

The bagel, which I tasted first, made me understand with one bite why everyone shouts "BYWAY's bagels!" It's not tough outside and crunches lightly, while the inside is full of natural butter flavor, so chewy and soft that I couldn't help exclaiming. The more you chew, the more the nutty butter taste spreads harmoniously through your mouth, and I finished it in no time without getting tired of it, so addictive!

What does the fresh mango wakppu salt bread look and taste like?

BYWAY BAKERS' "wakppu fresh mango salt bread" is a salt bread split in half, sandwiched with cream and big pieces of fresh mango, and thinly coated in white chocolate on the outside. It truly lived up to its name from the looks alone, a record-breaking dessert! They split the nutty salt bread in half, fill it generously with soft cream, and sandwich a big whole piece of fresh mango with its lively sweetness.

On top of that, the outside of the bread is thinly coated with sweet, crisp white chocolate, and it looked so good my mouth watered just looking at it. 😍

What's the best way to eat wakppu salt bread?

Rather than carefully cutting it up prettily, the real charm of the fresh mango wakppu salt bread is grabbing it with your hands, crunching it roughly and shoveling in big mouthfuls! The crumbling white chocolate and the chewy salt bread texture came straight through to my fingertips.

Taking a big bite, the pleasant sweetness of the white chocolate came in first, then the zesty juice of the perfectly ripened fresh mango burst through my mouth. The cream was plain and soft without being heavy, and it did its job of gently wrapping the fresh mango and the salty, nutty salt bread base.
