From Japan to Manila, this unrestrained love for butter is elegantly expressed in two decadent renditions by Butter Butler with their signature Butter Financier and Butter Galette at Power Plant Mall. Ready for a bite of pure buttery indulgence? Then, read on...

The entry of Japan's Butter Butler into the growing and evolving local restaurant scene is a positive sign as the Filipino palate is always on the lookout for exciting new flavor experiences. Using only the finest European butter for The Butter Financier and The Butter Galette, Butter Butler takes traditional confections up a notch that easily sets it apart from the usual offerings. It isn't hard to find good Financiers and Galettes in the metro, but Butter Butler is in a class all its own. Just how exactly are The Butter Financier and The Butter Galette different from the usual? You guessed it, butter. And good butter too. A Financier is a Financer and a Galette is a Galette, right? Not with Butter Butler. If there's a better mousetrap or unique selling point in the confections category, Butter Butler nails it perfectly for relevant differentiation. 

At the recent opening of Butter Butler in Power Plant Mall, the new Croffles (P 135 per piece/P 550 for five) exclusive to the Philippine market were also prominently displayed alongside its signature duo of The Butter Financier and The Butter Galette. 

Then, your eyes are drawn to the confections that placed Butter Butler on Japan's culinary map, properly showcased with an appropriate dab of butter on its own pedestal. The Butter Financier (P 640-4 pcs/P 1,200-8 pcs/P 2,300-16 pcs) is a perfect rendition of the French classic with its browned and lightly crisp surface. But take a closer look and you'll notice a subtle sheen. That right there is the butter doing its magic. Inside, The Butter Financier is moist with a buttery richness. And not just any butter but two kinds of the finest fermented European butter with sun-dried French Guérande salt before gently being soaked in Canadian maple syrup from Quebec. The finest ingredients plus masterful execution combine for one of the finest confections yet. 

The Butter Galette (P 640-9 pcs) is another French confection lavishly reimagined with butter by Butter Butler. The delicate crumbly texture is elegantly refined with a smoother finish with fermented European butter and just a pinch of premium French Guérande salt. That first bite drapes the palate with a lingering richness, and you know this is one leveled up Galette. 

At the opening, the Butter Butler himself in his trademark tux and white gloves welcomed guests to the exclusive event. Take a closer look at the brand's logo and you'll see the similarity. From the butter and bringing out its full flavors to the packaging, the Butter Butler is one solid concept making it stand out in an already cluttered and competitive segment. 

The Butter Butler shared the brand's concept hinged on the celebration of butter going beyond just dessert. This is then expressed in their exquisite renditions of The Butter Financier and The Butter Galette. And yes, even the Croffle exclusive to the Philippine market. 

Butter Butler infuses its butter driven concept to the Croffle, a croissant pressed in a waffle iron finished with its signature buttery richness. And you won't find this in any Butter Butler store in the world except the Philippines. 

And on cue, the servers marched out providing samples of the Philippine market exclusive Croffle by Butter Butler to guests...

With festive flair, Butter Butler management from Japan alongside local partners raised the Croffle in a ceremonial toast...

Then, the much-awaited moment for the formal ribbon cutting added yet another layer of excitement and anticipation to the afternoon affair in between decadent bites of The Butter Financier, The Butter Galette and the Croffle... 

...led by iFoods Inc. President and CEO Bryan Tiu and the Butter Butler team from Japan. One quick snip of the ribbon and Butter Butler is officially open to spread its lavish buttery love to the local food scene. 

The metro has its share of fine patisseries with exquisite pastries and confections but nothing really compares to The Butter Financier and The Butter Galette by Butter Butler. And it's an open secret that good butter, and lots of it, is behind the uniqueness of the luxurious baked offerings of Butter Butler. From Japan to Manila, local diners and butter lovers can now enjoy one of Japan's finest right here at Power Plant Mall. 

One more tasty nibble? Absolutely. 

In typical Japanese fashion, even the packaging is meticulously designed to contain the precious buttery creations...

The crisp edges with its sweet finish and bold buttery richness enjoyed with each bite of the Croffle by Butter Butler makes it an ideal gift for family and friends and just in time too for the festive holiday season. 

A box of The Butter Financier by Butter Butler with four individually wrapped confections is a well-deserved reward in itself. As a gift or a well-deserved reward to yourself, Butter Butler has you covered. In the end, you always get what you pay for and you won't come up short with Butter Butler.

Priced at the extreme end of the scale, the premium offerings of Butter Butler may make you pause temporarily. But one bite with its luscious buttery notes is enough to convince you this is no ordinary confection. Worth what it cost? It definitely is, with its medley of premium ingredients. And that lingering richness on the palate becomes an experience in itself. 

I have to admit I was just a bit skeptical at first, after all how much different can a financier or galette be from the usual high-end and upscale options in the metro? Apparently, a whole lot of difference with the use of the finest fermented European butter. And lots of it for that moist and luscious richness you'll only find at Butter Butler. Unapologetically rich and decadent, give in to your secret butter cravings at Butter Butler, now open at Power Plant Mall...
