Cronuts at Paris Baguette

26 Monday Aug 2013

Paris Baguette in Korea Town is now making their own version of the cronut. They’re called croissant doughnuts and they are available daily at noon and 3PM. Only about 30 croissant doughnuts are made at each time and they sell out within 15 minutes.

Just like all the other pastries on the wooden shelves, you have to wait for an employee to put the tray of croissant doughnuts on the shelf and then you place them in a paper box with tongs. I made the mistake of waiting by the counter to order.

The batch I had had a little lemon zest on top. The lemon helped balance the richness of the fried dough and cream.

Paris Baguette on 32nd Street in K-Town is selling this squid ink bread. They also have a “croissant donut” similar to the Dominique Ansel’s cronut.

Here is a first look at the new M. Wells Steak House in LIC! Is that the cement trout trough there on the left?

foie gras beignets at Deji

Deji at Smorgasburg was serving little beignets filled with foie gras mousse and topped with powdered Nutella and bokbunjaju (복분자주 or mountain berry) sauce at Smorgasburg on Saturday. They were really delicious. Be careful though! There is so much foie gras inside that it explodes a little when you bite into them!

After the raw meat buffet at Picnic Garden today, we stopped at Nak Won. We saw a cool cake that said: “Happy 100 Days!”

I bought some snacks that were shaped by a simple squeeze in the palm of a hand. They reminded me of something I made in a ceramics class.

Last week I went to Pado Sushi in Flushing and enjoyed live sea cucumber and possibly sea squirt. My friend asked the waiter if the dark green organism was a sea cucumber and she said it was. What is the other creature? Is it a sea squirt? A snail? Can anyone help me identify it? Thanks!
