A good buttery croissant, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, is for me always a delightful indulgent treat.

On first 3 bites, the chili oil and tomato jam gave it a pleasant “oh interesting”. Then it plateaued. While the ingredients were all plated nicely together, they felt separate. They didn’t integrate harmoniously, some texture and flavors overwhelmed the rest. Individually, the ingredients were nice but mellow. I kinda expected the flavor of the crab to be more prominent, the tomato jam stole the role though.

Overall, it’s not a bad dish, just lacked an oomph. Or maybe it just me 🤷🏻‍♀️
