Bread is Life, Honey Orange Wheat Baguette 蜂蜜橘子麥法包, Paper Stone Bakery / SML.20240513.R8.03490

I picked up this Honey Orange Wheat Baguette 蜂蜜橘子麥法包 Paper Stone Bakery, a local bakery in Hong Kong.

 

It is crunchy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. It’s like carved out baguette filled with oranges. The orange flavor is concentrated into a paste like consistency, but remain in fruit physical form, as seen in the closed-up macro shot.

 

It has an interesting balance of sweetness and acid. If you’re familiar with the yuzu ice drinks typically served in Hong Kong, then this orange paste tastes a bit like that.

 

For $31 HKD (~$4 USD), it’s a decent bite for the morning.

 

Branding — I love the “Bread is Life” tagline on the wrapper. Subliminal messaging is an important branding device. The branding for this local brand did a lot of right without being in your face.

The f/8 macro is better in terms of showing the detail of the food, but the f/1.8 macro with the far shallower depth of field gives a more romantic feeling.
