The soup is complemented with a James Boulangerie signature garlic grilled cheese croissant. The crispy croissant dipped into the flavorful soup is a taste that is not only enjoyable but also memorable, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
2. Champignon Croissant
The word “Champignon” is French for mushroom. James Boulangerie is famous for their croissants as it is crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. The Champignon Croissant is a combination of the flaky, buttery goodness of the classic croissant with the earthy and rich flavors of mushrooms for a satisfying appetizer.
It is served with French fries, potato wedges and berries. The berries are sweet and juicy, allowing to cleanse and refresh your tastebuds.

The delectable dish – Assorted Grilled Sausage, features a variety of sausages, each with its own unique blend of seasonings and ingredients, expertly grilled to perfection. The grill brings out the juiciness and tenderness of the sausages, ensuring a satisfying bite with every mouthful.
Accompanied by a side of tangy red cabbage sauerkraut and creamy mashed potatoes, this dish offers a perfect balance when the sausage becomes too intense.
4. Fish & Chips
The Fish & Chips includes fresh black cod fish that is fried to perfection with the tangy tartar sauce that is suitable for people of all ages. It is best served piping hot, allowing the crispy fish and chips to be savored with every bite.
The fish and chips are cooked perfectly, with the crispy coating and the soft fish that melts in your mouth. Squeeze some lemon on the dish to fully enjoy!
5. Salmon Belly Croquettes
The Salmon Belly Croquettes is a great dish for an appetizer as it has a crispy outside and a soft inside filled with the tasty salmon meat. It is served with tartar dipping sauce, providing a burst of flavors in your mouth.
This item is a must-try if you are salmon lover as there’s a generous amount of meat inside. Personally, I enjoy eating salmon and when I first tried this dish, I was immediately craving for seconds!
6. SAI-OUI Croissant Roll
“Sai-Oui (Sai ua)” is a Northern Thai sausage, made with various herbs and spices. It is stuffed inside James Boulangerie signature croissant and paired with a young chili dip with crispy pork skin.
As I have a low spice tolerance, this dish was too spicy for me to handle. However, if you are a fan of bold and flavorful dishes, I highly recommend giving this dish a try.
7. Fettuccine Seafood Kee-Mao
If you’re a fan of spicy dishes, the Fettuccine Seafood Kee-Mao is suggested. The fettuccine noodles are not too oily, and the fresh seafood comes in big portions, making it extremely value for money.
It includes large pieces of salmon, squid, and prawns, which pairs extremely well with the noodles.
8. Australian and Japanese Striploin Steak
Out of all the dishes, the Australian and Japanese Striploin Steak was my top favorite. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium rare and it was extremely tender and juicy. It was served with a red wine sauce which complemented the steak well
This dish is extremely worth its price, considering the portion and the taste! If you are a steak connoisseur, I highly recommend giving this a try.
9. King Salmon Steak
Do grab your phones and snap some pictures of the King Salmon Steak! The presentation was impressive with colorful vegetables and a salmon steak that was cooked to perfection.
One thing that really stood out to me was the amount of fish roe on the salmon. It was piled on as high as a mountain, making it mouth-watering.
10. German Pork Hock
When the German Pork Hock was served, I was shocked by its enormous size. I am not exaggerating when I say it was larger than the size of my face! Unsurprisingly, the dish did not disappoint with its crispy skin and fall of the bone meat.
Furthermore, pork tends to get overcooked easily, making the meat tough and dry. However, the meat of this dish was succulent and delicious.
11. Duck Confit
A traditional French meal known as Duck Confit involves slow-cooking duck legs in their own fat until they are soft, delicious, and extraordinarily rich. It is a time-consuming process, but when cooked properly, it is delicious!
The dish is served with a mini croissant, sautéed potatoes, mashed potatoes, bacon, green apple, and grilled vegetables. As I’m not a big fan of duck dishes, I was not expecting much from the Duck confit but this one stood out to me!
12. James’ BBQ Ribs
The James’ BBQ Ribs is a must-try if you are a meat enthusiast. Typically, the barbecue sauce could be too salty, however the dish from James Boulangerie is perfect for my liking! The BBQ sauce was both sweet and salty, making it an exceptional flavor when paired with the soft pork rib meat.
It is served with baked potatoes and grilled vegetables too. I highly recommend ordering this dish because it was really memorable!
Dessert Delights: Irresistible Sweet Treats 🥐
1. Raspberry Paradiso Croissant
The Raspberry Paradiso Croissant is perfect for people looking for a dessert that is not too sweet. I was expecting it to be overly sweet or sour, however it was just perfect to my liking!
The mouth-watering sight of the delicious raspberry sauce flowing out once I cut into the croissant was unforgettable.
2. Macadamia Caramel Croissant
The visually appealing Macadamia Caramel Croissant is a delightful option for those with a fondness for sweet bites. The homemade caramel sauce paired with the macadamia nuts on the James Boulangerie was extremely tasty.
As I have a sweet tooth, I would definitely come back and order this menu again!
3. Black Horse
Matcha lovers, you can’t miss out on Black Horse! It is an exquisite croissant menu only exclusively available at ICONSIAM. It is made with French flour, Black Cocoa, and is filled with delectable red bean paste and authentic Japanese green tea.
In simpler terms, this is a Matcha Red Bean Black Croissant. Indulge in this perfect fusion of flavors for an unparalleled culinary delight.
4. Almond Croissant x Soft Cream
Frankly speaking, I was not expecting much from the Almond Croissant x Soft Cream as I thought it was just a croissant with ice cream. However, the first bite proved me wrong. The creamy and fluffy soft cream matched with the flaky, golden-brown croissant tantalizes my taste buds and satisfies the sweetest cravings.
This is a guilty pleasure dessert – an irresistible indulgence that tempts even the most disciplined taste buds.
Refreshing Drinks to Cool Down in the Heat 🍹
1. Peach Passion Tropical Dream
Among all the beverages, the Peach Passion Tropical Dream holds the top spot as my personal favorite. It is a peach and passion fruit smoothie, which was blended well so it did not feel too thick and heavy.
It was a perfect drink to sip after having a hearty meal.
The following drinks down the list are all alcoholic drinks, hence if you enjoy drinking alcohol, do read on!
2. Gin Martini
Personally, I do not have a high alcohol tolerance, thus the Gin Martini was way too strong for me. This iconic drink is known for its simplicity and elegance.
The gin martini offers a balanced and refined flavour profile, with the botanical notes of the gin shining through. It is a timeless cocktail choice, cherished by those who appreciate its crisp and clean taste.
3. Aperol Spritz
Even if you might not drink often, I am sure you have heard of the cocktail – Aperol Spritz. It is a popular aperitif that is energizing and colorful, especially during the hot summer months.
Once again, I found the cocktail too strong. However, do take my words with a grain of salt because this is based on my individual preference!
4. Mai Tai
The Mai Tai is my preferred cocktail selection as it was sweeter than the others. It is a well-liked option for people looking for a taste of the tropics and a dash of exotic flair because of its rich tastes and colorful presentation.
This drink would be suitable for people with lower alcohol tolerance just like myself!
