So chic and delightful. This Paris Baguette chain is very popular in Seoul and rightfully so. You can browse through hundreds of baked goods, cakes and pastries, sit and have a coffee with friends, or just pop in for a simple baguette.
Here are my choices. One cream-filled walnut baguette, one garlic baguette, and one hat.
The garlic baguette was most delicious with a sweet-salty-garlicky spread baked into the crust. The walnut baguette would've been yummier had they filled it with real cream but it tasted a bit too fakey. And the funny blomp hat tastes how it looks - a pancakey shell filled with a mildly sweet custard. It wasn't the best but it did prove to be a fashionable chapeau for the baguettes.
Once you select your treats, a small assembly line awaits at the cash to pack-up each purchase into nifty little plastic bundles. I have to say that despite the world's on-going efforts to reduce waste & packaging, the Koreans looove to individually pack every single little item and for some reason I love it too. Probably because they do it with such skill and it makes everything you purchase that much more fun & exciting.
