Home-Made Roti Boy (Mexican Coffee Bun)

We love Roti Boy. Yes, every week we used to have one or two at home whenever we when shopping to the mall back home in Jogjakarta. But, since we moved to Seoul, we rarely have them. Actually, there are numerous outlets in Seoul, but I think they're just simply plain and different. Shouldn't franchise stores have the same standard of taste and even smell? BUT, NOT the ones in Korea. I don't know why. 

Back home, the smell of Roti Boy can be smelled^^ from kilometers away (exaggerating!!!!). But, the point was that...its main appeal is supposed to be its mile-away allure to attract us to buy this BUN.^^ 

So, when my wife told me that she would try to make these BUNS at home, we -- me and the kids--couldn't have been more pleased. 

After waiting for about 2 hours, ...they're DONE. 

so..the verdict: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 역시 the real Roti Boy is better.

Mama, sorry...but she admitted herself that there must be some 'secret' ingredients that make it special in itself. 

Or, since it was our first try out? Okay...let's make some others ...some other time. 

But, thank you Mama for trying.

The texture itself is so alluringly and believably Roti Boy, right?

So..in that point, "way to go, Mama"

Roti Boy in Seoul

The first Roti Boy I had in Korea:)

Just got back from having dinner with Seonhee and Hannah, two of my close friends we met in Jogjakarta a couple of years ago.
Having acknowledged that we cannot eat pork or any meat, they invited us to have dinner at all-fish restaurant near campus. It turned out to be quite a nice and clean place where I can eat beoseot suntubu (버섯순두부) while Wawan had his 구이참치, well I did not know what that was, but all I knew was that it was fish. ^.^
The price was the same as that in other places, around 4,000 Won.

But, the thing that made us want to come back to this restaurant again was the fact that the rice was cooked/steamed with other ingredients like peanut-like vegetables..so that the rice was differently nice and delicious.
For sure, we want to go there again.
Then, we had a coffee afterward at Roti Boy.
Yes, this Roti Boy sells Coffee as a set menu.
We bought a set menu consisting of one cup of Americano coffee and one bun of Roti Boy (3,300 Won).
Since we really miss Roti Boy we used to have back home.....having this Roti Boy right in front of our campus was a treat in itself.
For sure, it will be helpful should we miss home:) ^.^ Especially since it is a bit different from what I had back home, this Roti Boy bakeshoppe sells coffee and ice cream!
