Day 55: Baked Goodies

Perhaps one of the most surprising things I had found when I came to Korea for the first time was the deluge of bakeries, and the way these have turned into chains all through Korea. The one pictures here, Paris Baguette, is a personal favorite because when I think of Paris I do in fact think of yummy baked goods. So I naturally trust anything with the name Paris on it, besides that which could possibly be associated with one of the Hilton sisters. They recently re-vamped this chain into Paris Baguette Cafe, making it more of a date place rather than, what I use it for, a place to buy bread to eat in the comfort of my own home. The best bread will be bought not in grocery stores, but in bakeries (makes enough sense), but there are also tons of special baked goods. For example, hot dog bread, spinach scones, pizza bread, and so many more. You'd first think 'ewww' but surprisingly they are all quite good, and of high enough quality given the price. All in all, Paris does not necessarily have to feel as if their name is being sullied in anyway. Bakeries in Korea, they're a good thing.
