Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly.

French Baker in the Philippines


When you lived in the Philippines for a long time you start missing the bagels back home my sister use to bring us bagels when she had visited us. Now I had discovered places that do sell bagels but the texture is not the same back home. There is nowhere to compare the difference since the taste is almost the same.

Flavors available are Cinnamon Raisin or Plain from French Baker you can purchase them online.




They also carry other bread in which we had missed for example sour dough 


In case you are a raisin bread lover they also have it at French Baker



The one I love eating the most is the soup of the day that comes with bread bowl and it look like this




It is best to ask and call to see what soup they are serving the day you plan to visit or when you have it delivered to your location.

Loaf of bread sold in their store choose from the following:

Whole Wheat Half Loaf


Whole Grain Bread 


Flat Ciabatta


Ciabatta Rolls


We will not run out of bread every time we feel like making our sandwiches at our home.

Note:

I am not selling or advertising for French Baker.
