Have caught wind of Maison Sucree at Lengkok Bahru; the Muslim-owned bakery has opened for quite a while by now, but they had recently expanded their space to include a dine-in area with some desserts that are exclusively available for dine-ins only.

The Signature Paris-Brest is one of the items which they had been serving for quite a while now — available for both dine-in and takeaway, but is one that also deserving of the “signature” title that it carries in the name. Deviating from the Paris-Brests that we are more acquainted with, it is worth noting that Maison Sucree’s version comes with a custard cream rather than the usual hazelnut cream that one would associate Paris-Brests with. That aside, we did enjoy the somewhat crisp choux pastry; it’s sufficiently airy whilst not being too spongy — pretty light as well as the pastry was not particularly dense. The custard cream was adequately sweet; also smooth and creamy with a consistent texture, and comes accompanied with salted caramel drizzled for some contrast of flavours and topped with chopped almonds for a crunch.

Saw that there is already quite a crowd at Maison Sucree when we made our visit on a weekday afternoon — thought that they were an interesting addition to this part of the Redhill area considering the lack of cafes here, not to mention that they do serve up pretty decent pastries that is worth making the trip here for. A name to keep a look out for in time to come!
