5 things you should know about the dish:

∙It is a South Korean-style famous street food.

∙To easily fill the cream cheese inside, the buns are cut into six parts, which makes them easier to be recognised among many types of bread.

∙After the cream cheese filling is added into the buns, there are two ways to make the butter to absorb into them: dip the bread into butter-garlic-basil mixture or rub the mixture around it.

∙Garlic and parsley or basil flakes are put on top for decoration and enhancing the buns’ taste.

∙How to taste: Try a small bite and feel the smooth cheesy cream and soft bread melt in your mouth. — VNS
