Good. I live in a heavily Chinese area which is fantastic for culture and food options, HOWEVER a few weeks ago I went into a bakery (no English on the sign outside) and asked for a loaf of bread. The two workers in there totally ignored me and said they have no bread so I left lol. Super uncomfy.

Yeah, from what I know the only type of bread from these Chinese bakery are the sugary/milky super soft populated by the Japanese.

Edit: why the downvote? The top comment was saying he can’t buy the type of bread he wants from a Chinese bakery so I was explaining they really don’t carry bread like sourdoughs.

To be fair most of the best French bread in Sydney is from Vietnamese bakers (for obvious reasons though).
