Oceaniablu thought I should so here I shared it with my flickr friends. It was taken in the same bakery where I spent a lot of time in. :D Hope all of you have enjoy the fresh aroma of bread, more to come :)<br /><br />Thanks Oceaniablu for the suggestion. Agreed that it should be put here to be complete :) Thanks!<br />I'm off to Jakarta this afternoon. See ya when I get back. Meanwhile, the story continues in my blog in 2 days time. If you're too impatient for the conclusion before I get back, drop in there to have a sneak read. There are other stories. Suggest this one but read Part I before reading Part II for the impact. :)<br /> <br />Kathy_9 <br />Yum!!!!<br /><br />The Visual Poet<br />Wonderful close up!<br /><br />GPMTZ <br />This beautiful chapter has been seen in WRITTEN PAGES.<br /><br />WRITTEN PAGES<br /><br />bianchimaniv alias Lilith <br />fantastic!!!<br /><br />★OCEANIABLU added this photo to her favorites.<br /><br />OCEANIABLU <br />;) it's so nice of you to take consideration of the suggestions :)<br /><br />MAMEDE HARFOUCHE <br />STAY BLESSED, Thou.<br />KISSES AND PEACE.<br />الله أكبر * " ALLAH HU AKBAR!

What went wrong with it,my friend ?<br />As far as I remember,I had written: Do they use a starter in the dough as you used one for the plot of the saga and also something about the flavour and the scent of the baguettes and the plot.<br />Stay well<br /><br />ineedathis<br />These are desirable cuts, when they don't open we call them blind cuts and not as desirable:-)great close up my friend!<br /><br />★ineedathis added this photo to his favorites. <br /><br />A 1000 Reasons <br />Hi Doda, No. I did not delete anything. Never had in any comments from anyone so sorry there must have been a bug in the program somewhere. Please write them again if you can remember what is written.<br />Unless it is a sour dough, no starter is used. They are just fermented for a long time to get out the flavor. Giles in an earlier comment said - he cannot understand why bread in France taste better than UK. That is because different methods of bread production is used. Many UK bakeries used a short time process and in UK commercial bakeries, the Chorleywood Process which is a mechanical dough development instead of the straight dough method in France which are fermented for much longer hence having a much richer aroma and all round better bread.<br /><br />ho.ge <br />a fine shot of these baguettes! want now a fine french cheese too with a glass of wine... :))<br />Oh, I think I go hungry - hehe!<br />ho.ge added this photo to her favorites. <br /><br />Jelly_23 (<br />I love the close up in this photo, it reminds me of the true European food, which I truly miss.

The baguettes in Saigon are much different from Hanoi which retained little of the true quality of a good baguette except its general shape and appearance (which are also far from being satisfactory). Though I prefer the Paris version most of all, the Saigon has its own distinctive qualities that makes it a good bread by its own.<br /><br />★Tàu Bửu Vương Photography added this photo to his favorites. <br />Wow! you're at Viet Nam at this time?<br /><br />MAMEDE HARFOUCHE <br /> HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME AHEAD, Thou.<br /> KISSES AND PEACE.<br /> الله أكبر * " ALLAH HU AKBAR!
