Bread

One of the things that I have been missing the most since moving to North-East Asia has been bread, in particular unsweetened bread free of red beans, nuts or sugar coating. But as through an act of divine intervention, my colleague Andy passed on the happy news this morning. A new bakery called "5 loaves" has opened in the alley behind “Brother’s Coffee”. Apparently owned by the same people who run the great Italian bistro Cibo, the new bakery opened its doors a short time ago and offers both real sourdough bread and sandwiches that look strangely European. A quick sampling turned out highly satisfactory so it seems that they just earned a loyal customer.
