Seems it is not just the local coffee scene that is booming but also the bakery scene with Tiong Bahru Bakery and Drips Bakery opening their 2nd branches at Raffles City Shopping Centre and along Sunset Way respectively. Within walking distance from French's Paul bakery at Takashimaya and Japanese's Maison Kayser at Scotts Square, is Korean's Paris Baguette at Wisma Atria. Brought in by SPC Group with more than 3,000 outlets in Korea, this is its 1st concept merging the bakery's offerings with menu items from upmarket restaurant Passion 5 in Seoul. The 24-year-old European-style Korean bakery chain also has presence in China, the United States and Vietnam. Do not be misled by the stand with a menu near its front (no entrance to speak of since the café is not enclosed with passers-by gawking at you eat) as customers are supposed to find their own seats. This involves Lady Luck shining on the right table and breathing down others' neck while waiting, no different from a food court.
