Trooped down to Provence the other day to get some bread. Been going there quite a lot lately because their bread is simply heavenly. Their selection is pretty small, maybe half of Breadtalk but their quality surpasses all the bakeries I've tried so far. For this post I wanna focus on their croissants. Mainly because I was so taken aback by how this simple and common bread can taste so divine in their hands. The humble croissant comes in two sizes there. A mini one and a normal one (pictured above). The mini one is really tiny. You can pop it into your mouth in one go. It's priced around $0.40. The normal one costs a dollar plus and is more satisfying. The main thing about it is that it tastes so buttery. Maybe it's just me, but a buttery croissant which has slightly crispy skin is just so delicious. I love butter, btw. And to eat croissants without actually having to butter it myself is really convenient. Some other places make the croissant skin either too hard or too soft. Provence makes it just right and somehow it still tastes as good hours later. I attribute it to the quality ingredients they use. Flour imported from France I believe.
