Pistachio dessert fair hits Bukit Bintang with sourdough croissant, kunafa pan suisse & cronelle — worth the queue?
When it comes to pastries and desserts in KL, picking just one spot feels like a chore (at least to me). If you're anything like that, you'll want to swing by Salon Du Pain, a pistachio-themed pastry fair happening now until 8 June at Lot 10's Concourse Level. The space may be small, but the offerings are anything but. You'll find pop-ups from big names like Kenny Hills Bakers, Doña Bakehouse, BASK, and Universal Bakehouse, among others. Expect an enticing spread of baked goods, both pistachio-infused and not: from rustic sourdough loaves to delicate shortcakes, flaky croissants, pillowy bombolonis, and more. My colleague and I couldn't resist picking out 3 of the most eye-catching pistachio treats. First up: the Charcoal Pistachio Pomegranate Flan (RM20) from Kona Bakehouse. Crisp and light coal-coloured pastry that crumbled at the slightest touch, paired with a creamy custard-like pistachio centre and a jammy pomegranate layer that leaned more strawberry in taste. A lovely bite, even if the pistachio taste was subtle. Next, we tried the Pistachio Cronelle (RM11) from Lapisan Patisserie — a croissant-canele hybrid with beautifully flaky layers and soft, custardy core. The pistachio filling, though aromatic, reminded me unexpectedly of passionfruit. Not my favourite! Finally, the Chocolate Pistachio Kunafa Pan Suisse (RM12.90) from Etre Patisserie: generous in size, masterfully crafted to form intricate flaky layers, and lightly filled with milk chocolate and pistachio. The crisp kunafa topping added just the right amount of crunch without overwhelming sweetness. If I were to rank them, I'd say Kona Bakehouse is a clear winner! Followed by Etre Patisserie, and lastly — Lapisan Patisserie. However, it's worth mentioning that all of these spots were above average to me. So, is Salon Du Pain worth a visit? Absolutely! Just go early to avoid the crowds and snag your picks before they're sold out. New in town: Hae!

New in town: Hae! Mee — 25-year-old Bai Nian 2nd-gen sells prawn noodles with palm-sized prawns
Hae! Mee, a new prawn noodle stall situated at Chai Chee ESR BizPark food court recently opened to the public on 15 May 2025. For all those who find the name similar to Hae! Claypot at Eunos, you're right! Both stalls are actually opened by the 2nd-gen of siblings whose parents run the popular Bai Nian Yong Tau Foo franchise. 25-year-old owner Chantal Pang, a single mother of 2, didn't exactly have a good relationship with her family. She got pregnant at 19. Despite her parents' advice and disapproval, she still ran away from home with her ex-husband. As a result, her family decided to cut ties. Life outside was tough for Chantal as she juggled multiple jobs while taking care of her newborn. As she grew older, she realised that her parents just wanted the best for her and didn't want her to live a life of regret. Thus, Chantal sincerely wanted to reconcile with her family and regain their trust. Her brother asked if she wanted to work at the claypot shop. Since she had amassed some experience during her younger days when helping out at her parent's stall, she agreed. Over time, she reconciled with them and her kids got to connect with their grandparents. She later decided to build her own F&B brand that symbolises home and growth, and that's when Hae! Mee came to fruition. To ensure Chantal receives only the freshest palm-sized prawns daily, her brother Tommy, who had working relationships with seafood suppliers at Jurong Fishery Port seafood, connected her with them. There are 4 options of noodles available — kway teow, yellow mee, and bee hoon — each served either dry or soup. The Signature Big Prawn Noodle (S$11.90), the chef's choice, contains 2 massive prawns, prawn paste, pork slices and pork lard. If you don't particularly fancy large prawns, you can go for the normal sized ones like the Prawn Noodle (S$6.90) and Classic Prawn Noodle (S$8.90), which come with 4 prawns each. The only difference between the two is that the latter has 2 additional fried beancurd rolls. You can also take your bowl of noodles to the next level by adding ingredients like Liver (S$1), Pig Skin (S$1) and Prawn Paste (S$2). The menu also has delightful side dishes such as Golden Prawn Pancake (S$5.90), Golden Prawn Roll (S$5.90), and Hae Signature Fried Prawn (S$6.90 for 6 pieces). These are perfect for passing around to share among your family and friends! Seeking a new prawn noodle spot to makan? Then head to Hae! Mee and see if they meet your standards.
