World-renowned chef Anthony Bourdain, who ate Bun Cha (Pork pie noodle) with US President Barack Obama in Hanoi in May 2016, previously named Ms. Phuong’s bread as the best bread in the world. Ms Phuong, the owner of the bakery in Hoi An, flew to the RoK ten days before the inauguration of the store on May 4 to guide Korean chefs on how to make Hoi An style bread. She notes that in the bakery in Hoi An, a large number of Korean tourists regularly visit. After discovering that they make up 40 per cent of all customers, she decided to choose Seoul as the city in which to open her new store. So far the store in Seoul is welcoming 100 guests per day.
