Take a break from the chewy Dubai cookies! Because right now, social media in both South Korea and Thailand is captivated by a new delicious sensation,“Butter Tteok”(Butter Rice Cake) that’s everywhere. Wherever you go, people are raving about this dessert with a caramel-crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior filled with a rich butter aroma. Let’s get to know this treat and share the top Butter Tteok spots you must try!
Despite its international-sounding name, many might assume it originates from Korea. But actually, Butter Tteok is based on a traditional Chinese rice cake called“Huangyou Niangao”from the famous Luxihe shop in Shanghai. They reinvented it by mixing glutinous rice flour with eggs, milk, and fresh butter, then baking it in molds until it fills the air with a fragrant aroma.
When it became a hit in China, this dessert spread to cafes in South Korea, where new shapes and flavors were created, turning it into a trendy menu item. What makes it viral is the perfect contrast: the first bite features a caramel-coated crisp exterior, while inside is the chewy, soft texture of tteok dough, combined with the rich aroma of real butter. One piece is never enough!
