Maison Des Pains takes its references from the boulangeries that line French streets, and we’re not complaining. Here, croissants, caneles, and everything in between are the stars of the show, with playful variants like the Red Velvet croissant (topped with beetroot-dyed cake crumbles and stuffed with cream cheese custard) and Pandan (inspired by the Malaysian kueh and filled with butterscotch grated coconut). The caneles from this French bakery are one of the best in KL, if not Klang Valley; the perfectly caramelised crust tears open to reveal a sumptuously tender centre, making it the perfect afternoon treat.
