That's their trait. More French style? They probably use less rice flour in their recipe. I actually prefer a more doughy baguette.

Bean is a lighter bread but a bit soggy. I saw a huge basket and trays of bread sitting around. Idk if it's stale, cooking time or amount of steam during cooking but I'd put their bread a level below Ba Le.

Ba Le traditional Vietnamese style baguette. Light, airy, crispy and messy.

Tung Hing more French style. Narrow.
