Where To Get The Viral Butter Mochi In Singapore

By now, we’ve probably all seen (or fallen victim to) the Korean Dubai chewy cookie trend – with its pull-apart chocolate-dusted mochi skin and crunchy pistachio interior, this indulgent snack that’s been all over our FYP the past few months has proven almost impossible to resist. And who can possibly forget shio pan? The tantalising Japanese salt bread that has fast become a staple in many bakeries in Singapore. Now, a new food trend has entered the mix, and it’s as addictive as you’d expect. 

Butter mochi (also known as butter tteok) has quickly become the internet’s latest food obsession. It’s a Korean-style snack made from glutinous rice flour, melted butter, milk, sugar and eggs. Despite its simple ingredients, the butter mochi quickly gained popularity in Korea and Southeast Asia for its crispy, caramelised exterior that reveals a chewy, mochi-like texture when bitten into. So, if you’re a fan of all things buttery, soft but not as sinful, scroll down for six bakeries in Singapore where you can get a taste of the viral butter mochi. 

BEST BAKERIES TO GET BUTTER MOCHI AKA BUTTER TTEOK IN SINGAPORE

1. Noci Bakehouse

Why we love it: If you’re looking for the closest version to the butter tteok trending in Korea, Korean bakery Noci Bakehouse is a no-brainer. While its variation may look like a madeline, Noci’s Bakehouse’s butter mochi tastes anything but. Baked from a mix of glutinous rice and tapioca dough, their butter mochi ($2.50 per piece and $9.50 for a box of four) is golden-brown and crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. Drizzle on some of their condensed milk, which comes with the box of four, for the perfect sweet bite.

Aifokato is opened by the folks behind the Korean-style tofu gelato shop, Tofu G, and is also Singapore’ first DIY affogato cafe. Beverages like espresso, chocolate and matcha are paired along rich, creamy gelato flavours that you can pick from to create your own customisable affogato drink. And get this: Aifokato’s butter mochi comes free with the purchase of any drink. Dip the chewy mochi into your hot, velvety latte for a decadent bite that’s both flavourful and buttery.

Two Bake Boys’ variation really puts the “mochi” in butter mochi, with a gooey, stretchy interior that’s soft and buttery. For a healthier, less sinful alternative, you can also go for their low GI sugar option.
