Why does Korean opt for a French name instead of sticking to a brand name close to Korean invasion where popularity invades the mainstream? It's the same question I've been seeking explanation. I have 5 theories to share.
1. Owners could have been a couple from both continents.
2. The Korean owner learns culinary skills from Europe (the best training they can get).
3. The owner has a weakness for anything French.
4. Koreans are sick of the Korean spelled name and French sounds classy and cool.
5. Korean owner wanted to be different from its peers.

Those were just 5 reasons but I still have 5 more. Merely a theories (not my nature to stalk on people). If you have answers heard from the grapevine, comment down. We love to hear from you.

Wht Tous Les Jours?
Tous Les Jours is a French term meaning "everyday". Pronounced as "Tu-le-juru". Everyday the bakeshop serves its consumers with freshly baked bread, cakes and pastries. At the end of the day, excess products (bread) are sold for a discounted price of 50% off. The same method French Baker and other local franchise bakeshop applied when the stores is about to close within an hour.

Aside from adorable and yummy cakes, Tous Lea Jours captured its audience with to die for Macaron de Paris popularly known as French Macaron. With a crisp egg shell crust from outside and chewy, creamy (meringue type) inside, sweet tooth will surely enjoy the little cuddly macarons. From the five flavors available, Foodamn Philippines like most the Green Tea and Chocolate. The other three are strawberry, vanilla and mango. Macaron de Paris (PhP 28 per piece), the stuff is quiet sweet and tempting.

Assorted Danish pasties topped with fruits and corn cream bread are also a must try. As for the other bread and pastries, a day is not enough even a week to satisfy this Korean spot. It made me think Filipinos can do better than its counterpart. In fact Filipinos love for food makes us unique and adored by others, we even have world class chefs. With the right training, passion, edgy and creative minds and economic drive, Tous Les Jours' concept with a Filipino twist and rich imagination is doable.

Mindoro: Magic Fruit Tree

Share

A tiny fruit with so much to offer. Wonder why they call themselves magic fruit?

Magic fruit is small, red color berry said to originate from the province of Quezon. (But originally came from Africa). Locals from Batangas and Mindoro areas brought magic fruit seedlings and continues to cultivate them. The fruit itself has a small seed and thin layer of white meat similar to mangosteen or santol.

What makes it a magic fruit?
The fruit has a special properties of leaving a sweet after taste after taking or finishing a piece of magic fruit. Once done eating, take out the seed from your mouth and slice a calamansi, then extract the calamansi juice directly to your mouth. Initially anyone who bites off a calamansi will experience tangy and sour taste. But this time, the juice even the peel of calamansi taste like they were dip from sugar syrup. Amazing! How did it happened? that was the first reaction I said.

Back in Mindoro, particularly in my in-laws community. They have tried separate experiments with the magic fruit which is also sometimes referred as "miracle fruit". One had compliment it with liquors from brands like San Mig Light and Red Horse. The drink taste sweet beers indeed. ;) Older folks tried it with "ampalaya" a bitter tasting vegetable. The sweet receptor usually lasts 15-20 minutes, or may depend on an individual's taste buds and kind if food eaten, its temperature and the amount of extract that inhibits the tongue.

For those who wanted to grow from their backyards, a 3 to 4 inches tall seedlings cost about PhP3,500 (approx.US $90). Foodamn Philippines has one pot being attacked by free willy birds. The magic fruit's leaves could have been attractive to some animals that they (the stray birds) even eat the leaves.

Some says, the fruits are medicinal and can be used on chemotherapy treatment. However, there are no valid claims on this idea. But the magic fruits are now being used as sugar substitute esp. For diabetics.
