Le Pont bakes up a slice of French

The pastries and desserts here are as good as those found in trendy outlets in the city centre.

Amid the automobile workshops, wet markets, construction sites, old buildings and congested traffic along Old Klang Road in Kuala Lumpur stands a bright and shiny new French-European boulangerie-patisserie-cafe. The three-storey Le Pont Boulangerie et Cafe stands like a beacon.

Don’t worry, I had to Google "boulangerie" too. It is French for “a bakery that specialises in baking and selling bread”.
