I had that croissant ispahan at PH last year. Nothing I have ever tasted (or seen), so flavorful and rich I wasn’t able to finish it. So not like me. But the experience was unforgettable.

Enjoy those while you’re there, MM. No comparison…

Totally agree with Pierre Herme… the best, IMO, better than Laduree. Couple of years ago we stayed across PH (Hotel Bonaparte). There was always a long line everyday, anytime day/night. Finally, on our last day, braved the line and has pastry/macaron overload. Very much worth all the calories… sublime, even the packaging and shopping bag they provide are work of art (still have it, after all those years, just beautiful)!

MM, someone suggested a lechon croissant in one of your Christmas posts (2013, I think)… Why not give it a go with your 4-tier Cebu oven? Maybe some lechon sisig (more finely chopped?) instead of the rose almond paste… It’ll be a big hit, I bet. I sure would want a dozen or two of them. :)

Bring memories of my vacation in Paris where the hotel we stayed at baked its own croissants every morning. The buttery smell that wakes you is just heavenly and yes the croissants were deliciously hot as well.

“if I could have one of these beauties fresh out of the oven for breakfast for the rest of my life, it would be simply amazing…”

I am not a carb addict but butter croissants turn me into one. If the front of my shirt remains devoid of shattered crust (?) then it’s not a good specimen. :)

I would have to agree that dessert croissants are always disappointing. Good to know that a delicious one does exist.
