Review: Bread Talk

Location:  Nanjing Dong Lu at the west end of the pedestrian street, under Shanghai Shimao International Plaza  |  People's Square  |  Shanghai

Order:  Baguette
Price:  8 rmb (US $1.18)

Bread.  Glorious.  French.  Bread.  Not exactly France-level, but better than most I've had in the U.S.  I got a baguette at about 8pm, planning to save it for breakfast and lunch the next day.  It wasn't until I had eaten half of the loaf along with my Oreo smoothie (oddly satisfying combination) that I realized what I was doing.  I can only dream about what one of these would taste like fresh out of the oven, with butter.  The fresh out of the oven part, I plan to realize soon, but without a refrigerator, the butter part might be difficult.

Overall:  A.
