kouing-aman.


have you ever watched
"the best thing i ever ate?"
i'm such a fan!
les madeleines patisserie & cafe
was featured.
elle & i met mikey this week
and headed over on his lunch break
just to share a kouing aman.
love, love.
loved!
think croissant+elephant ear:
light, crunchy, crispy, sugary, crusty shell,
with a flaky croissant inside...
only moister (?) & butterier.
deeeee-lish!
it was a hidden little gem,
filled w/ downtown lunchers.
the only downside?
not speaking french.
i hate sounding american.
french seems so lovely!
how in HEAVENS name do you gracefully say
"kouing aman" from "les madeleines?"
hmmm...

  2. Mel! I know & I love them! The sad thing is that I haven't had one in ages and ages... Why so hard to find?? Sad! No wonder no one knows what they are:)
