An incredible new bakery selling Korea's viral salt bread is now open in Chippendale
If you don't spend half your life on TikTok, let me get you up to speed on the salt bread that's taken South Korea by storm. Originating in Japan, the cult baked treat features a golden, crisp shell topped with salt flakes and a soft, buttery interior. It's simple, delicious and comforting – and people are going nuts for them. Case in point: someone recently drove 1.5 hours from Illawarra to Chippendale just to get their hands on one. Where? Buttered – a new Korean bakery and café now open inside a heritage-listed building in Chippendale – one of Sydney's coolest 'hoods.
The bakery is by Vuza Hospitality's pastry chef Philip Choi, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. 'Salt bread was the treat I craved most when I was homesick,' Choi says. 'It's deceptively simple, but when done right, it's magic.'
You can order the original – here called the 'Salty Boi' – or opt for a sweet or savoury filling, including almond, vanilla cream, roasted garlic, spring onion and bacon, or garlic cream cheese.
You may also want to come here for the tissue bread – a croissant-style cube of pastry filled with soft, layered folds that pull apart. Flavours include lemon meringue, matcha, pistachio and strawberries and cream.
We've also got love-heart eyes for the 'grammable waterfall cake – a light and airy sponge layered with whipped cream and pretty, seasonal fruit cascading down the centre like a waterfall.
'Asian café culture is leading the way when it comes to pastries and drinks, and I wanted to bring a slice of that creativity and comfort to Sydney – with a little twist,' Choi adds.
Plus, expect fun Korean drinks made with sparkling water and house-made syrups – yuzu, strawberry or green grape – as well as hot coffee brewed with beans from Bondi's Will & Co.
Buttered is open every day from 9am until 5pm, meaning there's plenty of time to get your Salty Boi fix.

I had my fourth child at 43 & now I'm 51 – people think I had my child too old & I disagree but there IS a cut off point
Plus, why one mum embraced the choice of becoming a teen mum ANTI-AGEING I had my fourth child at 43 & now I'm 51 – people think I had my child too old & I disagree but there IS a cut off point A MUM who welcomed her fourth child at the age of 43 has reignited the debate on how old is too old to have children. Natalie Heptinstall, 51, from Doncaster, has previously faced criticism for being an older mum, with trolls branding her 'incredibly selfish' and even claiming her child would grow up to be a 'monster'. 2 Natalie is now 51 but had her fourth child at the age of 43 Credit: tiktok/@natalie_heptinstall Despite the negativity, Natalie continues to advocate for the benefits of being an older parent, sharing her experiences with her followers on TikTok under the handle @natalie_heptinstall. Natalie, whose eldest child is 26 and youngest is nearly seven, recently took to her TikTok page to open up about the double standards surrounding older parents. She questioned why men aren't scrutinised in the same way as women when it comes to having children later in life. Reflecting on her own journey, Natalie said: 'I had my last child at 43, and it was a really positive experience. "I'm a huge advocate for speaking positively about the benefits of being an older parent, but I definitely feel there's a cut-off point.' Recently, Natalie shared her thoughts on Amanda Byram, the former Total Wipeout host, who gave birth to her first child at the age of 51. Natalie explained that there's "definitely a cut-off point" when it comes to people saying 'Oh, congratulations, good luck,' and others being "horrified and judgemental" for having a baby at specific age. She also highlighted the disparity in how society views older fathers versus older mothers. Natalie explained that "nobody bats an eyelid" if a man is 50 plus and having a child, and male celebrities who father children in their later year are "rarely questioned." She added: 'Meanwhile, with Amanda, the entire article focused on her age, and her husband's age wasn't even mentioned.' I have a 3-year-old & I don't think kids are worth it - trolls call me a 'bad mum' but I want to warn other women Natalie expressed frustration at the lack of progress in attitudes towards older mothers, asking her followers, 'How old is too old to have a child? What are your thoughts?' In the caption section, Natalie she also explained that she is a "huge advocate" for speaking positively about the benefits of being an older parent, but she "definitely feels there's a cut-off point." Natalie's TikTok video went viral within 24 hours gaining one million views and 3,483 comments. It sparked a range of responses, with many rushing to share their thoughts and start a debate. One wrote: "It's not fair on the child having an old parent." While a second added: "I personally don't think it's fair on a child." 2 She sparked a debate on her TikTok amongst other parents Credit: tiktok/@natalie_heptinstall But someone else said: "My mum had me at 32. "I remember how embarrassed I used be that my mum was much older than the other mums. "She must only been 40 at the time but to me it was old." However, another added: "I find some comments awful, you could have a child at 25 and die at 28, or have one at 49 and live until your 90... life isn't guaranteed." And one TikToker said: "A friend of mine passed away age 29, leaving a child behind. You can die at any time. "It is usual for a woman in the UK to die in her eighties now, so a 51-year-old baby should be an adult when they pass."

"It is usual for a woman in the UK to die in her eighties now, so a 51-year-old baby should be an adult when they pass." Here's why I love being a young mum Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier. Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens. "My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children. "If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing. "As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different."

Scarlett Moffatt reveals her beauty ‘tip of the year' – it only cost a pound and is a game changer to her makeup routine
KEEPING your makeup organised can sometimes be a bit of a struggle, especially when it comes to lip liners, eyeliners, and other small items. Scarlett Moffatt has shared a simple and affordable hack that she's been using for years, and it's perfect for anyone looking to tidy up their beauty stash. 3 3 In a recent video shared on her TikTok page, the Gogglebox star explained: 'So I thought everyone knew this tip. "If you have a lot of lip liners, eyeliners, or whatever – this is not an ad, I just think it's a really handy tip. "I've done this since uni, so gosh, 15 years ago, no longer than that… oh, I'm so old!' Her trick? Using a pencil holder to keep everything organised. Scarlett continued: 'It was getting to the point where I was like, right, I'm not being funny, but which lip liner is which? "So I have all my reds on one side and all my nudes on the other.' She encouraged her followers to give it a go, saying: 'Let us know if you decide to do it or if you know any good makeup storage tips. "Let's not gatekeep – this is a place of love, so let's share the love!' Scarlett's easy hack is a great way to keep your makeup tidy without spending a fortune – and it's ideal for finding what you need without any hassle. Scarlett's video gained 80.9k views and 94 comments after 24 hours of the video being shared. Muireann O'Connell wears daring lipstick on air One beauty fan wrote: "I don't have a lot of lip liners now but I will have once I've bought that pencil case to put them in." A second added: "I don't usually have a lot but have been trying to be more adventurous with my liners and need to organise them now so great tip idea thank you." While a third commented: "This just saved me so much time, effort and puzzle piecing! "I'm clearing out my makeup drawer as we speak! Thank you." 3 Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
