Croissant Delicatessen at Plaza Damas: Restaurant Review

Croissant Delicatessen is a newbie at Plaza Damas.

All About Croissants

True to its name, this outlet’s all about croissants that can be eaten on their own or transformed into sandwiches. There’s an extra twist: The croissants come in four flavours – classic, garlic, pumpkin & wasabi. One pointer: To experience the flavours at their fullest, eat them plain & buy them fresh, so come in the morning or early in the evening when new batches may be baked.

Mix-and-March Sandwiches

We experimented with mix-&-match sandwiches, selecting savoury options of a garlic croissant stuffed with garlic-&-basil chicken (RM15.80) & wasabi croissant with turkey ham, pumpkin & mushrooms (RM13.80). Not bad for an outlet that’s roughly a week old; it might be interesting to observe what other ingredients & recipes Croissant Delicatessen will offer in the future.

Something Sweet?

Prefer something sweet? There’s the possibility of a pumpkin-laced croissant with mixed berries & whipped cream (RM12.80). Croissants on their own cost RM5 each; the ones we tried were not as fluffy, flaky or buttery as we might have liked, but that’s probably understandable, since we were here past nightfall & the croissants were a bit past their prime by then.

Beverages

Have a latte (RM10), surprisingly smooth & buttery – it turns out that the beans are supplied by respected Japanese roaster Kato-san of Pavilion’s WA Cafe. The banana soy-milk juice (RM11) is enjoyable too, creamy & flavoursome.
