JimmyJ Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I've had no luck finding this in 3 SE Asian countries so far including Thailand. Real bread without sugar , dairy, fungicides, preservatives, daily baked, and with a crust, not a squishy loaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL159 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I feel personally that Nana Bakery has gone downhill. Their bread used to be crusty and full of flavour, now I find it soft and mostly tasteless. For "proper" French style bread, "L Opera", opposite Anantara Hotel, French owner, bakes himself personally every day, and also sells lots of nice French style patisseries/ cakes etc. Go in the morning as most of his bread sells out by lunchtime.

silverhawk_usa Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I saw a rather small, interesting, fresh bakery near the UN Irish Pub (same side of the road nearer the moat). Didn't give it a try but you might want to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always sticks in the memory as their door and step arrangement caused me to enter the shop head first to the sound of laughter. Vowed never to go back until I took out some health insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Call me a pleb, I don't care but my top two French bread providers here are Makro and Kamizagi. Not been to the specialist shops mentioned above but imo these two make excellent copies of the French baguettes, boules, and brioche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevoromgh Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Bakery in Central Festival Food Hall (basement) is very good and most Topps supermarkets have crusty 'sour' bread as they call it over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXBKKMAN Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yamazaki at Airport Plaza bakes fresh bread and baguettes. Much better than the industrial stuff with a one week shelf life. Much better than Tops, Tesco, Big C etc. Nana is ok but i prefer Yamazaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pull the dough out after the ferment, shape it, and put it in your oven for the final bake. Same for bread rolls and pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Our local Big C bakes them to order in 20 minutes and they are the best baguettes I have ever had from anywhere. Crusty on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. Not sure if every Big C does them though as only ever seen them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The only real french bread anywhere here is at L'Opera. It is the same as you would get in France. The baker is French. He bakes hundreds each day. We stock up each week from L'Opera. We have tried everywhere mentioned over the years and prior to L'Opera the best baguettes where from Crusty Bread Bakery which moved around for a while before disappearing.

chingmai331 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 So those 'french' baguettes are white flour bread in a long tubular shape? Which means a high glycemic index and a promotion towards constipation. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I am going to try my luck at selling Yorkshire puddings. I mean if they are made by a Yorkshireman, they are bound to be the genuine article, the best infact? Somehow I think that logic just isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own, but last time I was in Chiang Mai, which was a couple of months ago, I had Nana Bakery's sourdough walnut bread and it was fantastic. So good I lugged a couple loaves all the way back to Bangkok. http://www.nana-bakery-chiang-mai.com/our-breads.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
