Strange.. why is that. All kinds of bread are available here from
french to bagles. Bangladesh is a fast growing economy that means many
foreign investors live here. When a foreign company come, with the
company there local food chain also follow. We have many different
foods here from Japanese(East) to American(West). The city is very
multicultural. The people who opened the bagles shop, actually is a
french frenchise. Here we even have big super market like American
Giant or Fresh-field. All sorts of foreign food are there from frozen
to fresh Australian vegatables and fruits. From world famous Pizza Hut
to Swiss famous ice cream shop Move-in-pick.

Derek and DMH Starbucks is opening next year. So this year be
astonised but next year- please don't LOL.
