Seeing as I saw another Daily Pan elsewhere in Busan, I'm not sure how many locations this bakery has or if it's a Busan-based operation; however, only one location (this one) appears when I search online. So, let's hope it's not too grand.
Anyways, Daily Pan is a more compact bakery near Haeundae Beach with sweet baked goods on one side and savoury on the other. There are English names on the labels. With their intricate meaty wraps and cheese-topped skewered anything, I'll admit their savoury selection actually looked more unique than their fairly standard array of sweets, though the latter did include several varieties of filled doughnuts, which might be considered their specialty. And I do like doughnuts....
At this point, I needed to take a break from those doughnuts, though, and instead went with the mini mammoth (2,000 won). I'd seen regular-sized mammoth in other bakeries and was always intrigued by them, but found them, well, too huge. The mini version was still pretty darn hefty, both in terms of size and weight. Actually, this multi-level sandwich bun weighed a ton. On top, there was the crumble with nuts and raisins. Inside, there was one jam layer, then other piece of dough, followed by a green bean paste and finally another dough bottom. There might have even been another layer.... The first few bites were pretty good. There were so many flavours and textures; it was complex and different from your typical Korean "pan". However, about halfway in, it became way too overwhelming. It started falling apart and there was a disproportionate amount of the green bean paste, resulting in a bun that got too beany. Yeah, not attempting the mammoth again, that's for sure.
