I took fresh baguettes for granted in Cambodia, where all you have to do is stand on the side of the road until you see a motorbike full of bread roll by, usually takes no more than 5 minutes. Choi's bread is good, but it has a factory-style American feel to it. CODE PURPLE is over, woo-hoo! !ENGAGE 20
Hahaha yes Choi's and Tulip have a "commercialized" vibe. Nowadays local bakers focus mainly on "normal" white bread and certain snacks, but if they widened their variety with baguettes or (burger) buns, the clients don't have to go out of their way to go and find those items. I definitely think there's a market for that.
Hahaha I don't know what the color code is now, but now only Sundays are full lockdown, which gives us more space when buying groceries; no huge lines.
