Sliced Bread

[Hel123]

I've been buying White sliced bread from Tesco and 7/11 and it seems to taste sweet compared to sliced bread in the UK.

Anyone know if there's a white sliced bread that's more similar to that in the UK ?

Thx

Friendship, Big C Extra.....have several choices. Don't go to Tesco/7-11, rubbish there.

Look for bread with "Sourdough" on the label. I imagine that most bread is made locally but breads made to American recipes are generally too sweet for the European palate.

Sourdough is the same as regular bread back in the UK.

Farmhouse brand is 5% sugar.

Factory bread sold in plastic bags in the likes of 7/11 is not real bread, and it does seem to be sweeter than, and nowhere near as good as, the UK version. Not quite as sweet as US sliced bread though which tastes like brioche to me.

For real bread I would suggest BigC on Klang where they bake several times daily under the control of a proper French baker. Their bread (and they do many sorts, including sourdough) tastes very much as it would in France. They have a slicing machine and will slice free to order.

The French rustic baguette at 39B is particularly nice, if you like a crusty loaf.

Hurry they re closing for 6 months

Have a look in Tops. They have a range of My Choice sliced breads that are worth trying, though watch the expiry date. .

They are? B*gger.

Baguette 89 on Soi 89 opposite MAKRO and just east of railway line is not closing. Just back from buying warm fresh bread (which can be sliced there) Vincent (baker) and Anne (wife) know nothing about that.

^^^ I think the "closing for 6 months" comment was about BigC. I certainly understood it to be that anyway.

I'd rather they didnt.

Do not eat that white stuff in slices , its not healthy, in Pattaya you have so many good bakeries run by Europeans. The Gerrman bakery Back Fabrik makes the best home made bread in Thailand, and no sugar .

The bread baked on the premises in Tops in Central is good, though a bit expensive, and they have a pretty good selection. As far as I know they will also slice their regular loaves, which would be nicer than the packaged My Choice (though the packaged My Choice is certainly a lot better than the standard 7/11 sliced white).

I find that the My Choice sliced sandwich bread works very well with beans on toast. In fact, that's tea tonight sorted!

Where is it?

[Hel123]

Can you get My Choice anywhere Nr Huay Yai ?

Have you got a Tops nearby?

If not, I buy it in the refurbished Tops in the basement of TukCom, a convenient location if you're going to Friendship for something. As I said previously, watch the expiry date.

Thanks.......

an utterly false and inaccurate rumour!

[Asiantravel]

I'd rather they didnt.

I spoke to staff members this morning at customer service and then later I spoke to the French manager of the bakery himself and everyone says there is absolutely no truth to this rumour

[Hel123]

Went to Big C on Klang - Proper bread ! ?

[pmugghc]

I think the "Big C is closing" is for the old one near Nua, not Klang. 6 months refurbishment if I understand it right.

It seemed unlikely to me too, especially if they will be closing the third BigC near the future Terminal 21.

At one time they were talking about closing (or partially closing) the BigC on Sukumvit in order to expand the bakery and other sections. I dont know what, if anything, came of that.

Edit: pmugghc beat me to it.

Most of the menu from there tends to be good, haven't bought any bread though.

That's the place I get my white sliced loaf from, may be no good for me but tastes great.
