Thinking of registering for Certificate of Baking, really nice course, 2 months to learn around 72 recipes

MIB Certificate of Baking

The Classes will be on Saturday (2pm – 6.30pm) & Sunday (10am – 2.30pm) for 9 weekends from 13th Jul 2013
price at RM2788 nett

But… i am not free on Sundays, paying full price and attending only Saturday class is kind of not worth it 🙁

Maybe i should just use the money to buy ingredients and bake on my own :S

Croisette1

Croisette is situated in Cascadium condominium in Bangsar, along the road(Jalan Penaga) across from Bangsar shopping Centre. Their dinner service start pretty late at 6:45pm.

Croisette2

Dessert menu, available for order as well, very reasonably priced, below RM70 per kg for very good quality dessert, think better than Secret Recipe’s

Croisette3

Their daily specials, we order the lamb leg blanquette, and notice another table ordered it as well, and then it is off the menu, talk about limited edition 🙂

Croisette4

Prawn bisque with garlicky mayo (rouille) topping, taste very similar to our local prawn mee stock. RM16

Croisette5

Pumpkin soup served with a piece of toast, RM13.20 which fare better in my book, velvety sweet and savoury, yummy, wish to have some baguette with this

Croisette6

Garlic bread, RM3.50 just normal toast with slight garlic

Croisette7

Lamb leg blanquette RM36, we were expecting whole lamb leg, instead it was lamb leg meat, not bad, it tasted a bit bland and under-salted at first, but then it kinda grew on me, a comforting almost soupy dish with tender lamb leg meat

Croisette8

supposedly typical served with rice, didn’t expect french dish to have rice.

Croisette9

first time having beef bourguignon (beef cooked in red wine) another comforting dish with soft tender meat, nice, RM30.60

Croisette10

Very nice pasta pistou, RM15, aromatic pesto made of basil + pine nut, very nice aroma and tasty

Croisette13

Trio chocolate mousse (dark chocolate + milk chocolate + milk chocolate), RM9.50 very nice

Croisette11

Croisette12

 

Some items which i wish to order were not on the menu: Duck patty Cassoulet with beans and chocolate orange parfait which was freshly prepared and not yet set.

Very reasonable priced, only RM132 for 3 of us to be stuffed (partly from the beef bourguignon and ‘soupy’ blanquette), and no taxes!

Reservation: 016-330 4477 or 014-665 7944
