You call that a bakery?

I recently went past a bakery here in Brisbane. I looked at the food available, and it was a little depressing. Some of the items looked edible, but on the whole the window display was just a bit boring. I miss the more colourful displays found in the boulangeries of Paris. Not even a proper baguette within cooee of the place, and don't even try to find brioche (well, not at reasonable prices) or tartes aux framboises, or macarons. Gah!

Aurélie et Rafik, il faut que vous me sauviez. Venez ici toute suite! Je vous exige!

You need one of those Vietnamese bakeries, like Kim Thanh in West End - is that still there? Not the same as France but not too bad.

If you'd spent time in Germany you'd find the sourdough bakeries here a great source of comfort.

Whatever you do, do NOT go anywhere near a Brumbys.

Haha! In the meantime I can send you some stuff by mail, then you might receive 3 month-aged croissants and pains au chocolat, mmmh délicieux :p
