Pain de mie means a sandwich loaf, but this place isn’t actually a shokupan specialist.. Apparently it’s a bakery that has been famous in Wangsimni for ages.

Lim Sung-geun on the way there

I really wondered what the connection was..

The bakery..

They have done a nice job with it.

The breads

They looked pretty good..

The breads

They all look tasty, but I did wonder whether any of it has anything to do with pain de mie..

The ones I picked this time

Both were tasty. Certified as a proper neighborhood bakery.

All sorts of bread

The baking skills here are the real deal.

Another bakery right out front..

There are a ton of bakeries in this neighborhood too..

I live in Seongdong..

Winter is over and cherry blossom season has arrived.

A scene I shot while walking along..

Lovely..

Olkeupaek

It is in Dapsimni, but since that is near Wangsimni I stopped by once. They were not open.. I just got a rough idea of where the place is..

One Star Bakery

This one is also a popular bakery around Wangsimni, but I got there late so there was not much bread left.. Only natural when a place is popular.. If you do not line up, you do not get the good bread either..
