[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because Asians love sugar. They put lots of sugar in bread and pastries and love to make sweet things. Europeans like sweets but nothing like Asians. Milk bread anyone?[/quote] I agree that Asian sweets tend to be sweeter and not always in a preferable way. Also I think a lot of Asian pastry that is spectacular is very specific to one restaurant or bakery. But in France or Vienna you will stumble into some random bakery and still be able to find amazing bread or basic pastries. The top pastry chefs in Tokyo might be doing more creative, exciting things than the top pastry chefs in Paris, but the average croissant in Paris is still better than the average croissant in Tokyo because there's just a floor for pastry in France in terms of quality and that's not necessarily true in other places.[/quote]
