Croissant

[HDRIDER]

My gf bought some croissant in Makro today, my God ,must be the worst croissant i have ever tasted, like cardboard do people really buy them, do you?

No if you want the good stuff its Au Des Lys must be the best French bakery around, croissant at Bake is good as well or do you have a better place?

I hate to go up against an old hand like you but, really Makro. what was your GF thinking. Then you go on to ask "does anybody buy these", well your GF does.

He, not any more for sure, and she can eat the rest ALONE But there is hope she also say they are not very good, still wonder how they can get them to taste so bad, must be the years of experience they have.

If you pull them in each end they just get longer and longer like chewing gum

How much is a croissant in Makro and how much in BAKE or AU DES LYS?

Just had one in BAKE yesterday, very good! These places are using real butter instead of margarine and they use special imported flour.

Carrefour, not bad for the price.

Thats a food store I m gonna miss if they close. Any news on the bids on their asian operation? was hoping BigC could get the thai Carrefour, and kinda keep it as an up-market BigC

Carrefour is pretty good.

I can't see them closing, they're quite popular in BKK. They even have one in Chumphon now which seem to do a brisk business.

HD, where is Au Des Lys? Flintsone is pretty good...

Au Des Lys is right next to House & Home when you come from Chalong going towards central, blink and you miss it, a town house a little back from the road, good parking that's what make it nice as well

I like almond croissants but cannot find one in Phuket which even comes close to matching the one made by Fridays in my hometown. Living up to its name they are only open on Friday with the queues starting at 7am.
