Zeene Eatz & Rates French-Style Japanese Curry Filled Buns (Kare-Pan) @ Paris Baguette Bakeries

In this episode of Zeene's Epic Eatz, I visit the Mountain View location of the international Korean chain, Paris Baguette, to share with you one of my most favorite comfort foods; French-style Japanese curry filled buns, also known as kare-pan (for "curry" or "kar-ee" and pan meaning bread). These delectable breads are filled with rich, thick Japanese mild curry studded with bits of diced potatoes, carrots, and corn. We also learn a new word, "kakushiaji" which means "hidden flavor" and aptly describes the hidden sweet component -- usually apple or honey -- to balance out the earthiness of the curry spices.

Looks like a fun treat! I've seen Paris Baguette stores, but I've never been to one of them. We don't have one in my area, but I have seen them in other parts of the Bay Area. Thanks for the great video, and I hope you have a good week!

I think you would enjoy it :) Happy Monday Erin!

My friend who owned Yasukochi's Sweet Stop, famous for their Coffee Crunch Cake in SF passed away from CV-19 last year. R.I.P..

Oh my god! I've had that on my list to do a video this year -- that's so sad. RIP and positive thoughts to their family.

[@dtna]

Yes, very sad. I think they are still open. I live in SoCal and would check before you go.

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

@@dtna Will make it a point to still visit!

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

Will do! We can go grab one the next time I'm over there during one of the farmer's market days.
