Asking for the garlic bread to be sliced, and individual wrapping
They asked whether I wanted the garlic bread sliced or not, so I asked them to slice it! Absolutely the best decision, I'm crying.
They wrapped each bread individually so it felt so tidy and satisfying!! The breads were also seriously huge.
Garlic bread + cheese bread — the sweet aroma of the garlic bread and the huge cheese bread! The visuals are seriously amazing haha.
How was the cheese bread?
This cheese bread has cheese piled right on top — you can smell the savory cheese aroma from far away. It's huge and heavy in the hand.
Thanks to the cheese on top, you get this chewy, crackly texture.
Thanks to all the cheese packed inside, it's incredibly gooey and savory, melting in your mouth...
The bread itself is chewy, soft and moist, so the texture is great, and it pairs perfectly with the salty savory cheese.
Garlic bread — moist, soaked deep in sauce
The garlic bread's moist look is seriously amazing, I'm crying — the sweet garlic bread aroma is truly the best...
It's nice and thick too, so a big bite is the best,, this sweet garlic bread glistens with shine.
The garlic aroma is so good and it's completely moist, soaked deep in the sauce, which makes this Jongno 3-ga bakery taste even better.
So delicious on yet another repeat visit to this Jongno 3-ga Station bakery — I fully recommend it!!
