Delicious Pastries Treats @ Croisserie Artisan Bakery, Plaza Damansara

Hola! If you know me in person, I am never a pastry lover. Well, I am not, until I was introduced to Croisserie. I visited Croisserie for a brunch date with my foodie friends recently. This bakery is highly recommended by one of my friends who love to get his pastries craving fixed here. Ok.... if he approved, then it's got to be good. :D The pastries are freshly baked daily by Chef Ken Jay using top quality and freshest ingredients and here are some of my personal favourite.

Salmon & Spinach Quiche RM13.00
This is the latest offering by Croisserie. Doesn't it look incredible? It is mouth-watering delicious too. Must try!
 

Beef Bacon & Mushroom Quiche RM11.00
For beef lovers, try the savoury delights beef bacon with generous mushroom.
 

German Pudding Tart RM4.00
Oh my... this is not only looking good, but taste incredibly good too. And no, it's not an egg tart! Simply adore the smooth and creamy custard in a totally perfect tart crust.

Canele 
Frankly, it was my first time trying Canele. It has a lovely crust and tasted slighty burn while the inner remain soft. Quite a memorable taste.

Signature French Croissant RM3.50
Never been a fan of croissant, till I tasted Croisserie's croissant. The croissant here is made of top quality Japanese flour and French butter.

The special 16 layers croissant is all fluffy, flaky and crispy with French buttery aroma. This is also Croisserie best-selling signature product.

Croissant aux Amandes RM5.50
For nutty lover, you can try this version of croissant coated with almond cream and covered with a layer of toasted almonds.

Cinnamon Raisin Puff RM4.50 
If you noticed, Croisserie's pastries are much darker in colour. They are definitely not burnt, in fact Chef Ken Jay wish to produce a much crispier texture and bring out the flavours of the pastries.

Oyaki Pan RM2.80

Plain Bagel RM3.50

Apple Danish RM5.50

The scrumptious fillings are homemade from fresh Granny Smith apples, for the extra tartness and tucked into a flaky buttery crust.

Oyaki Pan RM2.80

Tarte au Citron RM12
Crumbly pastry and deliciously zingy lemon combine to make the perfect tarte au citron.

We are also treating ourselves to a selection of Christmas special only available during the festive seasons. 

The Triple Noel Cake RM130

Ohh... Chocolate lovers would love the multi-layers of hazelnut dacquoise, chocolate florentine, chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse.

Santa Berrylicious Cake RM140

Wow.... look at the beautiful layering. The multi layers of sourish, sweet flavours consisting of biscuit joconde, raspberry mousse, lychee mousse & raspberry compote, refreshing with lychees goodness.

Croisserie Signature Stollen RM100

The fruit bread containing candied citrus, berries, fruits shimmered in orange & lemon juice, homemade marzipan, assorted nuts and bathed in a luxurious butter and drizzled with a coating of Trehalose. Truly a winner. Don't forget to grab  Croisserie's Stollen for your Christmas celebration this year. I bet your guests would be amazed!

Authentic & Affordable French Cuisine @ Chez Lèoniel, Alliance Francaise

On a lovely Sunday morning, there I was at Chez Lèoniel Restaurant with a few of my friends. We are in for the treat of a scrumptious French breakfast and lunch. Chez Lèoniel is located at Alliance Francaise de Kuala Lumpur, the official French language and culture centre in Kuala Lumpur. Housed in a fully renovated bungalow in a serene and green setting, you'll need to register with the guard house before entering. There is ample parking available and it's free too. 

Anyway, as soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the fragrant aroma of fresh baked pastries. Ohh my... I can't help to start savouring the piping hot pastries.

What a lovely French brekkie with the Malongo Special Grain Americano.

Chef Leoniel demonstrating the making of crepe. Traditional way of using French crepe hot plate and French recipe.

The crepe is then dressed up with Nutella chocolate. Everyone's favourite!

Nutella Chocolate Crepe RM15 best paired with Malongo Organic Bio Tea Mint RM5.
Crepe was authentic and superb.

Salade Nicoise RM15
Fresh coral salad, Atlantic tuna, green beans, potatoes, eggs, tomatoes and olives serve on bed of lettuce. French style salad.

Soupe de Ratatouille (Ratatouille soup) RM9

Silky rich and thick French stew of zucchini, eggplant & bell peppers served with a slice of baguette.

Tartare d' esturgeon (Sturgeon Tartare) RM25
Fresh farm fed sturgeon sashimi served with pickled and bread, just amazing. Love the beautiful presentation too. Must try!

Confit de Carnard (Duck Confit) RM38
Grilled well browned and crisp duck confit served with roasted potatoes and sautéed vegetables.
The duck meat is rather bland to my preferences and I'm not fond of the tad chewy texture too. Maybe serving it with a sauce would be better?

Pain - Poele d esturgeon RM45
Heavenly perfectly pan-seared sturgeon with green, wild mushroom and garlic. Incredibly tasty and I love the sauce too. Highly recommended!

All in all, Chez Leoniel served authentic and traditional French cuisines that doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. Must try the daily baked fresh pastries, amazing sturgeon dishes and Malongo coffee or tea selection. Reservation is required for dinner.
