tuna croissants!

since my mum is away at Perth visiting my brother, i took the liberty of taking over some of her chores - making sure Keith does his revision, asking dad to buy groceries, and taking care of lunch (or this particular one anyway).

and since Cold Storage had a grand opening yesterday at Subang Parade, loads of stuff were on sale! I caught sight of butter croissants going for 10 sen each! Ah...tuna croissants it is! But i was caught aback by the tremendous crowd at Cold Storage! so, i only managed to grab 4 croissants which i know for a fact wasn't enough to feed the hungry us (or the hungry me at least).

Anyway, i got everything we needed, queued for like an hour odd, and finally went home to start preparing. first up, ingredients. Now my special tuna croissant was my choice because it's so easy and simple to make. To make one, you need these things:

butter croissant, tuna & mayo, sausage, tomatoes and lettuce


one you got that covered, you need an oven. It could be your regular microwave oven, whereby you can set it to "grill" (if not it'll turn soft with the regular reheating function) but this is more of a hassle as compared to having a toaster oven. With a toaster oven, you toast the croissants making them crispy on the outside and warm on the indside. :)

Next, boil the sausages, and make sure you make slits in them. This ensures the insides of the sausages to be cooked. While they boil, make slits on top of the butter croissants and slap on some butter. When you're done, grill/toast the croissants for about 2 minutes. Remove sausages from pot.

Here's the best part, stuff anything you want into the croissants. For me, i first tuck a piece of lettuce into it. Then i put the sausage on top, and fit half diced tomatoes on either sides of the sausage. Then i pour tuna on top of it - voila!

My brother, Keith is a pure carnivore. So his is what i call an anti-veg cheese tuna croissant. then again, i'm just trying (and failing) to be creative. His doesn't look too bad either!

and that, my dear readers, is how you make Galnexdor's Special Tuna Croissants. It's fun, flexible, and oh-so-delicious!

p/s: croissants are pronounced as kwoh-song, just f.y.i. :)
