There is this french baker that sells authentic french pastries in the Legaspi marker every Sunday. The taste is exactly like eating a baguette or a croissant in Paris! Does anybody know where he has a store?

I think the croissants in Lartizan in Jupiter is the best. They even have whole wheat croissants to remove some of the guilt from all that buttery goodness you’ll be consuming! It has the perfect flakiness and the inside is nice and chewy.

I wish I could have a croissant once a week like you! It’s definitely a must on those cheat days for sure. I eat mine with strawberry jam and St. Marcellin cheese from Santi’s. It’s the ultimate indulgence!

It’s my first time to really explore your blog and I must say, your food blog is the best one by far. As a huge foodie, I appreciate how you make an effort to bring the readers into your sensory experience. Everything looks so good! This will be my new favorite. Keep up the good work!

Jipan can be found at Glorietta, near the cloth stores & the escalators going up to the 3rd floor.

They also have a small store/stall in the Landmark food court area.

In Megamall, they are located just outside Toy Kingdom.

In madaluyong, their bakeshop is in one of the side streets near Shaw blvd. Lee or Calderon st. I think..

I discovered this blog just recently and I must say, the articles are very well written and the pictures truly do justice to the foods shown.

Thank you Miss Lorie!

Man, I’m hungry!

Jipan(Japanese bakeshop), i think is within the SM malls. I spotted one in the powerbooks area but I have not been to that mall in ages so not sure if it still there.

I love the Mandarin croissant plus their ensaymadas and danish selection. Truly world class. Aside from loads of President beurre, I also like it with Philly cream cheese or raspberry jam. Yum!

Try the Cheese Loaf from Tinapayan Festival (I get someone to buy mine in Manila, but I think they have a branch in Market! Market!). It’s not a croissant, but it’s just as soft, melt-in-your-mouth, flaky/crusty as one. I can seriously finish half a loaf in one sitting. It’s light as air, so it seems like it’s calorie-free. haha.

Hi Lori!:) Mitchie here from last Sunday! after years of lurking around, I’m finally going to make my first comment! Haha!

I do adore croissants!! they’re my weakness, have countless ways of eating them.. with cheeses, meat, smoked salmon and even just a spread of Nutella takes me to heaven! ugh.. My mouth is now watering..

With this article, Im compelled to go back to bread making and start with this one. wish me luck! love your photos btw. Hope to hear from you soon!

The croissants at the Mandarin are just plain gorgeous! However, seeing how I’m usually on a tight budget, I usually get my dose of buttery crescents from either French Baker or Fortune Bakeshop. The latter look rather wimpy, but are so gloriously buttery that I only buy them once a week – otherwise, there goes my figure!

(Oh, and the pain au chocolat at the Mandarin? **swoon**)
