Bouchon Bakery ♥ ♥ ♥

It is a cold and wet day in New York City. What is supposed to be a nice long stroll + picnic lunch + carriage ride in Central Park becomes a nice long stroll + leisurely lunch + escalator rides in Time Warner Center.

 

 

Oh well, I’m just happy to eat Bouchon Bakery goodies whether outside at the park or inside the café.

 

 

It’s funny how I rant about Thomas Keller’s upscale, 3 Star Michelin Per Se and rave about his very casual, no Michelin Bouchon Bakery. But that’s just me.

 

I wonder if all these people were planning to have picnic lunches at Central Park, too

 

Watercress and Endive Salad - a colorful and superfresh salad of watercress leaves, supercrisp red and white Belgian endive, candied walnuts, Roquefort cheese and Fuji apples dressed in walnut vinaigrette.

 

Apple and Celery Soup – healthy and delicious

 

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup – oh God, how can something so simple be sooo good

 

Smoked Salmon Sandwich with Toasted Brioche – lovely flavors

 

Sticky Buns!!! My favorite!

 

After lunch, I drop by Borders to get some nice books to read for my flight back to Asia.

And I see this.

 

What BS!

 

To put a stop to overeating? Nevaaahhh!!!
