The first thing I do every morning is checking canteen menu. If I don't like it, I go out for lunch. Yesterday was once of those days, so I went out with a colleague of mine who did not like the menu either.
Bucella, a sandwich/bakery shop, is a popular institution in Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil, and it recently opened a branch in Samcheong-dong where I work.
They have an oven there, so I assume that they do a bit of baking themselves on premise. I think they sell wine in the evening.
Bread pieces are for you to taste, and the bread in the picture below are for sale. They do nice croissants.
And tarts.
I ordered salmon in cream sauce sandwich. It is served with salad.
The bread was soft and slightly chewy. Salmon is cooked in cream sauce, flaked, and sandwiched between bread with lettuce and sprouts.
It is laced with honey mustard. However, I found it a bit blend. More salt for the salmon part is called for. And I hate sweet sandwich. Why do they put sweet sauce everywhere!!! I found sprouts part too earthy...I could almost taste soil. But then I hate sprouts in general.
Now the dessert....I ordered 'baked lemon tart' which looked like lemon meringue pie and a baked custard tart with prune.
I was a bit disappointed by what appeared to be a lemon meringue tart. I mean, there was lemon layer an meringue layer, but I did not expect to find almond sponge layer so thick. But it was nice though.
Baked custard tart...there is a french name for this tart, but I just can't remember right now. This variety is sold in every single patisserie in France...
Sandwich: 7000KRW (£3.50)
Tart: 4500KRW (£2.25)
Mariage frères tea: 7000KRW (£3.50) for a pot.
