It is interesting how whenever I happen to read a French expat blog there is always someone complaining about the local bread and how no other bread can match the French baguette. I admit it is difficult not to resist a cracking golden crust but I am always sad to read how French people can never admit something good can also be produced elsewhere. No Camembert? Try the local cheese, it can bring some unexpected and wonderful new tastes. No white Bourgogne? Why would a Chardonnay from Chili or South Africa be inferior? To make a long story short, it is impossible to find a good French baguette in Singapore - or if you do so it will get all soft after a few minutes due to the high humidity levels - but as the local newspaper was reminding us this weekend there are hundreds of amazing local offerings.
