A new Korean bakery serving the TikTok viral tissue bread
Korean$$$$
Sourdough makes way for salty shio pan and soft, pull-apart tissue bread at Korean bakery Buttered in Chippendale.
Owner Philip Choi trained at French cooking school Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, before honing his pastry skills at some of Seoul's top patisseries.
The top order here is the shio pan (or sogeum-ppang in Korean), a chewy moon-shaped roll that's bathed in butter, creating a crisp bottom and deeply tanned shell. The yeasted filling is pillow soft, more like a dinner roll than your typical French croissant. The TikTok viral tissue bread, which can be pulled apart in layers, comes in seven flavours from plain to matcha, pistachio, lemon meringue and more.
The other signature item is the waterfall cake, an Asian-style sponge cake with a slice removed, and the space refilled with overflowing fruits and toppings. It's available as a whole gâteau or cupcake.
Alongside the usual tea and coffee, find Korean-style 'ade' sodas made from sparkling water spritzed with house-made yuzu, strawberry and green grape syrup.

KPop Demon Hunters smashes Netflix record and takes over global pop charts
If you want to spot the next big thing in pop, always follow the tween trail. Parents of under 12s knew a month ago the KPop Demon Hunters universe was primed for a pop culture takeover. Their kids are obsessed with the film, the songs, the art, the food, the outfits, the action scenes, the choreography, everything and anything KPop Demon Hunters. The Netflix film has had more than 130 million views globally since launching on June 20, becoming the most-watched animated movie ever on the streamer. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack claimed its fourth week at No.1 on the Australian charts this week and its songs 'Golden', 'Soda Pop', 'Your Idol', 'How It's Done', 'What it Sounds Like', 'Free' and 'Takedown' have taken up residence in the upper echelons of the singles chart. Those songs have generated a billion plays on Spotify alone and the film's fictional bands Huntr/x and Saja Boys have leapfrogged superstars BLACKPINK and BTS as the highest charting KPop groups on the US charts. Korean culture has exerted its influence on the zeigeist over the past five years with K-pop, K-dramas and K-films from BTS and Stray Kids, BLACKPINK and Twice, Squid Games and the Oscar-winning movie Parasite. But Kpop Demon Hunters has taken the phenomenon to the next level. A film not like the other ones KPop Demon Hunters is a truly original animated film - it's not a sequel or a comics adaptation or a washed-out imitation of Disney or Pixar formulas. But after its blockbuster success, you can bet there are already meetings about a sequel, TV series, stage musical and live adaptation treatment. Instead of your princesses or melodramatic animals or misunderstood kid as the main characters, you have two K-pop groups locked in a battle to save souls. The three members of Huntr/x - Rumi, Mira and Zoey - are the demon-hunting pop stars slaying their evil soul-sucking rivals, the Saja Boys led by hot guy Juni, with songs and swords. The film's Canadian-Korean co-director Maggie Kang has cleverly woven cultural touchstones throughout the film from concert glow-stick choreography to visiting the local traditional medicine clinic. Kpop Demon Hunters also pays homage to Korean folklore. Its scene-stealing tiger and magpie characters are inspired by minhwa folk art while the Saja Boys and their supernatural alter egos are loosely modelled on 'jeoseung saja,' Korea's version of the grim reaper. Kang and her co-director Chris Appelhans also wanted to create a new kind of female superhero. 'We've both wanted to see more relatable female characters, ones that are messy, act silly, make stupid faces, and we thought it would be especially refreshing to see that in the superhero space. It felt like a new take on the female superhero,' she said. All killer, no filler soundtrack The filmmakers got their music dream team on board early, wanting to fuse Kpop bangers with the traditions of theatrical musicals - without, thankfully, the characters singing dialogue. The songwriting and production credits are the who's who of Kpop chart-toppers, led by BLACKPINK producer Terry Park and his THEBLACKLABEL hit factory of writers as well as Grammy-nominated and winning producers Lindgren, Stephen Kirk, Jenna Andrews who had worked on music for K-pop artists such as BTS and Twice. The soundtrack's first single was the end credits version of 'Takedown' performed by Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung of girl group Twice, who just announced four arena concerts in Sydney and Melbourne in November. But the film's central song 'Golden' is proving the runaway hit, unseating Justin Bieber from No.1 on the ARIA singles chart this week and amassing more than 215 million Spotify streams over the past six weeks. Demon Hunters' executive music producer Ian Eisendrath said the filmmakers took the opposite approach to film musicals when creating the soundtrack. 'In film musicals, you are often hiring people who specialise in narrative writing,' he told Billboard. 'This was interesting because it was sort of the opposite. It was bringing in people from the pop world to write for the film, as opposed to people from the film world to write in the style of K-pop.' There's already a campaign afoot for an Oscar nomination for Best Song. Something for everyone The film isn't just a godsend for parents seeking family-friendly content. It's got the goods there with the perennial PG narrative of Rumi's struggle for self-acceptance. But it's kid cult following has quickly broadened into other creative communities. The animation style has inspired thousands of fan art and DIY costume posts while TikTok and YouTube are flooded with dance workouts and challenges and cover versions of Demon Hunters' songs. Critics have also hailed the film's comedic thread as it skewers the much-maligned K-pop training system and singing competitions and K-drama tropes.

‘My father cheated on Mum': Adam Courtenay on his famous dad
This story is part of the August 3 edition of Sunday Life. See all 13 stories. Writer Adam Courtenay has written several books on Australian history, but his latest work, on his late father, the author Bryce Courtenay, is bound to attract attention. Here, the 61-year-old talks about the influential women in his life, and the complicated relationship he had with his dad. My paternal grandmother, 'Paddy', was born in South Africa in 1905. She was this tiny figure who was extremely religious. For her, the Lord was the way, the only way. Paddy was a dressmaker. She fell in love with Arthur Ryder, who worked at the same clothing store. He said he had two grown children who'd left home and was going to divorce his wife. They lived together and Paddy had my aunt, Rosemary, and my father, Bryce [Courtenay, the author] out of wedlock. Paddy discovered Arthur had a loving wife and six children at home to whom he later returned. In those days, Paddy's unmarried status was tantamount to being a witch, so she moved frequently with her two children to reinvent herself. My father's illegitimacy left an enormous scar – he found it shameful and didn't tell me until I was 30. I didn't care; rather, I would have liked to have known what his origins were. My mother, Benita, was highly literate – she read three books a week. She loved art, music, black American jazz and French films. She was a progressive thinker and pro-civil rights. She loved Europe and in 1986 opened a shop in Edgecliff [Sydney] that sold imported French cookware. She had a huge influence on me in terms of culture. My father cheated on Mum with his secretary, Celia. She was 15 years younger than Dad. I felt guilty, as I came to like Celia enormously. I was 15, from a boys' school, and very scared of women. Celia talked about sex and relationships and became a female mentor to me. She tried to instil confidence, and I was enormously grateful for that. My mother knew about my father's numerous relationships but internalised her hurt. She wasn't shocked by the fact he was with someone else, but she was shocked when he finally left her.
