Hello, everyone! It's Chaerishi~????

Today, I'm introducing my all-time favorite garlic bread spot:

Mandong Bakery's Yeonnam branch!

Seriously, I visit this Yeonnam-dong bakery and Hongdae 맛집 every month.

It's one of my absolute favorite bakeries! ㅋㅋ

???? Mandong Bakery

Open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM!

You can even enjoy their bread at a nearby cafe (like Ediya Coffee Yeonnam branch)!

If you want to eat freshly baked bread, I highly recommend enjoying it at Ediya! ㅋㅋ

The shop has a neat interior decorated with wood tones and a large bread sign. ???

Just standing in front of it is strangely comforting,

making you want to stop and take a look ❤️

Thanks to this simple and warm first impression,

like a Yeonnam-dong bakery and Hongdae 맛집,

it definitely has an emotional presence, even among the bustling Yeonnam-dong cafe street. ????

???? Shop Atmosphere

The store isn't large, but it's neatly organized,

captivating your attention the moment you step inside.

Under soft, warm-toned lighting,

delicious-looking breads are neatly arranged on wooden shelves!

It was late, so the display was quite empty,

but even the remaining breads were shining…✨

Small and neat name tags made choosing fun,

and I enjoyed taking the time to look at each one with the exciting thought,

‘Which bread will be today's last star?’ ㅎㅎ

Even the neat display felt like a small exhibition,

a scene that tingles the hearts of bread lovers. ????????


From walnut bread to garlic bread, coconut bread,

cream cheese squid ink bread, sweet potato bread,

and onion bagels,

all six types were so delightful...????

???? 1. Walnut Bread

One bite and you get the crunchy, nutty flavor of walnuts,

while the inside is soft and fluffy, making it extra appealing!

Thanks to the sweet syrup coating, the perfect balance of nuttiness + sweetness

makes your happiness level soar to 100% when you enjoy it with coffee ☕

???? 2. Garlic Baguette

즐거운 순간

From the visuals, it already screams, 'I'm delicious!'

A shiny explosion of garlic bread ✨

Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and garlic butter sauce

soaked into every nook and cranny, so even one piece is

incredibly flavorful.

A perfect blend of salty and sweet!

???? 3. Coconut Bread

소중한 기억

The outside is generously topped with crunchy almonds and coconut,

while the inside is fluffy and sweet~

The unique aroma of coconut gently spreads,

making it the perfect dessert bread.

???? 4. Cream Cheese Squid Ink Bread

아름다운 풍경

A generous filling of thick cream cheese inside squid ink dough!

The salty and smooth cheese flavor

goes well with the savory squid ink bread.

It's even tastier when served cold, as the cheese gets richer. ????

???? 5. Sweet Potato Bread

평화로운 풍경

The inside is filled with sweet potato mousse

that spreads sweetly and softly.

The bread is thin and the filling is generous,

almost like eating sweet potato paste.

Warming it up brings out the sweet potato aroma even more~

???? 6. Onion Bagel

따뜻한 추억

Chewy on the outside, dense on the inside, the bagel's texture,

combined with the subtle sweetness of onions, creates an explosion of savory flavor????

Spread with cream cheese for double the flavor!

???? Overall Review

평화로운 풍경

You can definitely feel that Mandong Bakery is a place that puts care and flavor into every single bread.

It's delicious eaten right away, but

warming it up slightly really brings out the aroma and flavor.

Highly recommended for all bread lovers!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
