As expected there are more and more bakeries making these salted egg yolk croissants now. The poor imitation by The Bread Shop failed miserably (based on from various feedback from personal friends) and as I peered at these salted egg yolk croissants from Bake Plan SS2, I must say the appearance belies the taste.
Thanks to the salted egg yolk croissant saga, I had began to wonder if it is possible to replicate it at home. I believe everything begins with the croissant itself. An excellent…

This morning I had to queue for the (now) famous molten salted egg yolk croissant.
Like everyone else, I got there early at 9:15 am to buy the first batch out for the day.

UPDATE as of 25th November 2015:
Limited to 5 croissants/per customer per purchase. More info on the timing for each batch of croissants –> https://rebeccasaw.com/salted-egg-yolk-molten-croissant-le-bread-days-cafe-what-time-available-and-limited-to-5-per-customer/
I’ve personally queued for some this morning and it was sold out almost immediately. I went to queue again at 2.30pm for the 3.30pm batch and came away empty-handed. All sold out for there were people waiting in the cafe from lunch time!
Last but not least, thank you everyone for sharing my post. My site hits 50,000 visits/day now and 18,000 people are talking about it on Facebook (data as of morning of 26th Nov).

Just opposite from Clique Clinic (my default clinic for Coolsculpting and Q-Switch facial, with stem cells procedure in the works) is this small cafe Le Bread Days.
The one thing that catapulted the cafe to worthy fame is their salted egg yolk (molten) croissant (RM6.90).
For this price it is one hell of a good croissant. Rich, thick and decently potent in salted egg flavour, the molten salted egg yolk filling is enough to send anyone who is a fan of lau sar bao swooning.
Unless you are extremely fussy, leaving Bowery Petit empty-handed is highly unlikely.
The heavy glass doors open to a small but cosy space where 50% of it are dedicated to the bewitching display of an amazing wide array of cakes, cupcakes, macarons, tiramisu, pies, tarts, muffins, danishes and breads in all forms from bagels to mini loaves, buns and rolls.
If you have a sweet tooth like I do, it is time to bid any form of self-constraint goodbye.
After featuring a long list of Ramadan buffets (I have compared about 20 buffets here so click –> https://rebeccasaw.com/list-of-ramadan-buffets-in-kl-for-buka-puasa-this-2014/), I’m now looking for Ramadan set dinners.
Well I haven’t sampled many as I didn’t have much time; but I remembered that I was at The Loaf recently and the launch of their new Asian cuisines menu was worth checking out!
The Loaf’s Ramadan set is a reasonable price of RM19.90 and you can choose from Ayam Percik, Rendang Jawa or Nasi Goreng Kampung.
I didn’t try the set per se but prior to Ramadan I was at The Loaf to sample the Asian menu and overall I find the offerings well executed.
On weekdays or weekends, instead of the congested Telawi Bangsar, Publika and Hartamas, take a drive to Taman Desa and enjoy superb French pastries probably unrivaled in this city of KL/PJ.
Move aside The Loaf, there’s a new Japanese bakery in town with better variety, taste and wallet-friendly prices to boot!
