You know, I’ve got to say the French certainly know how to do food, whether it’s foie gras at dinner or a buttery croissants in the morning paired with a café au lait. Unfortunately I am defiantly not in France this morning, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t enjoy my Monday morning croissant any less.
I am sitting here pondering this toaster we purchased at a local department store, Emart. Much to our surprise it came complete with a special croissant and roll toasting feature. I guess we totally missed the fact that Korean’s are HUGE consumers of croissants. Pardon my sarcasm. Honestly most Korean homes still lack a conventional oven let alone a toaster.
Interesting…
Yum! You’re making me crave a buttery croissant!

They are delicious, right?!
Lack an oven? How do they cook food?? I do love a good croissant : D
Most items prepared do not need an oven, otherwise they eat out?
We have the WORST luck with toasters. Maybe we need to order one from Korea? 😉
Ugh that stinks! Yes! Try one out! (not to jinx myself, but this one has been working great for us!)
Glutenfreezen, what happens that you guys have the worst luck with toasters?
Looks delicious….
I love croissants….I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that Larry does too haha!
Asia is funny like that. I’ve never seen that before, how bizarre!
Also I miss French croissants like whoa. They might contain something like 3 pounds of butter but what I would do for one right now.
Hey we’ve all go to live a little, am I right? LOL! Do you have any bakeries near you?
Yes! There’s a handful of amazing bakeries around me. But nothing beats an insanely buttery croissant and a super strong espresso sitting on the grass of Champ de Mars in front of the Eiffel tower for breakfast!
I cannot even begin to argue with you on that. What I wouldn’t give.
Haha so true! I was lucky and always had an oven everywhere I lived in Korea (except the dorms of course…). But the good thing about that is that Koreans think homemade baking is a novelty. I made the worst snickerdoodles once, but they just loved them haha!
That is so comical! I work with some older Korean ladies and let me tell you…they are quick to let me know if it isn’t what they like. To sweet, greasy, not professional looking, etc. They are blunt but I guess you have to appreciate that much honest upfront no hiding.
Haha! That is a typical ajumma for you. I remember I bought a new skirt once and my friend said to another guy: doesn’t she look pretty? And he quite honestly said: “you know, you used to be pretty and slim. You’ve gotten kinda fat.” (More or less that’s what he said.) Yes,at least they are honest ha!
At first when reading this I thought to myself, oh god! But then I realized we again were talking about the Korean culture… it made absolute sense and the surprise factor went away.
It looks so crispy and delicious! 😀 What did it taste like?
It was perfect! Buttery, crispy on the outside but not to cripsy. Soft on the inside and of course as croissants all do… they gently fall apart as you eat them. Have you had one?
Tried once before, it was a plain croissant, but not so crispy haha
Awe darn. You’ve got to give it a go again.
That is one nifty toaster
Isn’t it?!
I’ve always been a fan of asian stores because they always have the COOLEST products…and some of the cutest too.
Yes! I agree! They have such crazy little inventions. Some work, others just a waste but it’s still fun to try them.
haha that is true
