Why I travelled from Seoul to Chamsae Bori Sikppang in Bucheon

These days, for my family's health, I look for bread that isn't just sweet and soft... bread with good ingredients that doesn't feel heavy afterward.

So I naturally started hunting down great sliced-bread bakeries!

It's Chamsae Bori Sikppang, Bucheon main branch. Doesn't the name alone sound healthy?

I was most curious about the barley-based bread, and lots of reviews said one loaf can even replace a meal, so I went with high expectations 🍞

Where is Chamsae Bori Sikppang's Bucheon main branch, and is there parking?

Let me start with the location! It's about a 10-minute walk from Bucheon Station, Exit 2. Not too far from the station, and just the right distance for a leisurely stroll!

There's no parking lot, so I recommend coming by public transport~

The moment I opened the door, the toasty smell of bread hit me and I was already in a good mood! Bread keeps coming out of the oven, and the place is so popular that customers keep streaming in~

I'd heard you have to come in the morning to see the full variety, so I did an opening run, but all the loaves with mascarpone cream were sold out! It had only been 40 minutes since opening. So popular, wow~~

Black glutinous rice bread: taste and texture

The black glutinous rice bread catches your eye with a color much darker than ordinary sliced bread.

Cut a slice and you feel that chewy glutinous rice texture right away. Even untoasted it's springy and chewy, and lightly toasted it's crisp outside and chewy inside, as filling as a bowl of rice! It's good with a little butter in the morning, and tasty enough with nothing on it that I thought, "So this is why everyone calls it a top Bucheon sliced-bread bakery."

What does Chamsae Bori's chocolate loaf taste like?

The chocolate loaf isn't just sweet chocolate; it has a lovely, subtly spreading cocoa aroma.

The chocolate filling isn't overdone either, so it's perfect for breakfast or a snack.

It's great as a kids' snack, and with coffee it works as a grown-up snack too! That's why our freezer always has this loaf in it.

Final thoughts and how to freeze and store the loaves

Overall, I don't feel bloated after eating the bread; it feels comfortable. It has ingredients like barley, glutinous rice and beans, so I found it good to eat even while watching my sugar intake!

So I think this isn't just a bakery but a real Bucheon bakery that can stand in for a healthy meal!

Especially, you can freeze the loaves and thaw them naturally, and the taste and texture barely change, so Chamsae Bori Sikppang, Bucheon main branch is great for stocking up!
