Tous les Jours, meaning “everyday”, is a Korean-based bakery cafe offering unique selection of French-Asian baked goods and drinks. They have more than 1000 stores/franchise worldwide. And finally, they’ve arrived! Last November 11, or the famed 11.11.11 at 11 am, they inaugurated their flagship branch at The Block of SM North Edsa. As always, I’m delighted to be part of the celebration. Theatrics aside, there’s so many elements to love and to rave. First off, more than speaking Korean, I actually have a better chance of speaking French, unbelievable but I actually devoted 2 years learning the language, and the fact that unlike my beloved South Korea, I actually went to France. Second of all, after all that has been said and done, I love sweets and carbo. ;-D And lastly, but certainly not the least, I’m such a big Hallyu fan, and seeing those Korean Pâtissiers (real or in costume?! indulge my curiosity, please do tell! ;-D) is like relieving a drama scene. *Swoon!*

| Pâtissiers at work. Tous les Jours lives by its commitment on serving only fresh baked bread. Fresh Bakery, Fresh Everyday. Their symbol of a mom on her bicycle after picking up freshly baked breads, and on her way home to feed a loving family, is also aptly showcased (minus the mom…that must be me! ;-D) at the photo wall during the opening event. |

I have to say, that after sampling, and just even eyeing their delectable offerings, I now have a higher bar set on my expectations of pastries, breads, and cakes. 😀 Fawning aside, we, as in my very picky son, totally adores the goodies I took home from the opening event. ;-D It’s one of those coveted moments that my son had to actually say “more, please!”, and it’s all because of those Asian Buns from Tous Les Jours. I just can’t wait to let them try out the cakes from Tous Les Jours. And happily, November and December are months where we have much to celebrate, and a cake from Tous les Jours would definitely make them extra special. Not to preempt the opening event, here’s a teaser of their cake offerings. ;-D

Hi Clair: Oh that's too sad, about the picture with the master patissier. Or you mean even inside the store, not allowed din? Oh! Thankfully I took several photos na. But you can always take picture of what you get from them naman. I love their goodies. Lucky you that it's nearer your place. :)) Let us know what you tried too. :))
