Tuna Croissant

The making of croissant is a bit complicated, we need to ensure that everything is as cold as possible (and many many more). It took me about 4 hours to complete everything. Anyhow, I enjoyed everything that I did, hehe...because when I saw my croissants were freshly baked out from my smart oven, I knew everything that I did is worthy...and I like to eat it with tuna. Yummy! Yeepee!
