Chocolat Royal is a pastries, ice cream place here in Lagos. After church we decided to stop by and buy a bunch of goodies. I went in with the intention of buying about 3 chocolate filled croissants, and left with this.

each pastry was about N300-400 (roughly about $1.70 - $3, so pretty normal). It looked prettier than it tasted, It was ok.... I ended up adding a 4th, the chocolate croissant which i preferred to the almond (ick). So next time I might stick with my original choice of croissants, maybe a donut, and ice crream.
yea yea... quite unhealthy, i know, but I'm proud i didn't add any icecream. I probably would have added it but they only allow me to taste just 2 out of the many options that they had. Crazy huh?? How am i to pick a flavor by sight alone? I only do that with novels. so I saved myself some calories and N200 a scoop.

@Dedene:
lol so true. well nope we don't get HBO in Nigeria, but I go on websites that find a way to upload them, and stream them online, kind of like watching youtube without downloading. or one of my friends probably downloads it, and I get it from their flash drive. (such dedicated fans lol)
@ Mark:

Send me some yummy one, so hungry now.lol
ReplyDeletethey do have nice croissants. i see you are still converting everything to dollars
ReplyDeleteUmmm... They looked prettier than they tasted? That's a pity, ain't it? If I pile on the calories, I want the taste to be worth the waste :P
ReplyDeleteCheck out Cactus next. It's on Ozumba Mbadiwe directly opposite the Bee Jays Hotel. Ocean view pastry section is pretty decent too.
ReplyDeletewow! i'm starving. how do i get there? :)
