one of my favorite things ever

There's a chain bakery in Korea called Tous les Jours (Every Day). One branch was close to where I used to live in Chungmuro. I don't know if it's still there, but I recall once visiting that branch—which was one of the larger-sized branches I've seen in Korea—and happening upon a lovely, wrapped, Bundt-shaped loaf of monkey bread, covered in a sugar-cinnamon syrup. Monkey bread can be a cake; it can also be bread-bread. It can be sweet (like what I'd bought at Tous les Jours), or it can be savory (there are pizza-ish variations). Whichever way it comes out I'm so there. I love monkey bread. The nastier and more decadent, the better.
