Lychee Raspberry croissant
$7++ (dine-in), $7+ (takeaway)
Exceptionally beautiful and I guess.. beauty comes at a cost. It’s definitely expensive! The pretty, pinkish hues are a delight to see and it’s hard not to be swoon over by looks of it. I succumbed to a piece, even tho lychee isn’t exactly my favourite. The croissants are best eaten fresh, and ideally dine-in where you’re provided with a fork, spoon and perhaps heated croissant. I had mine a day later - which by then, the moisture from the lychee raspberry custard has soaked into the croissant layers. Well, lumpy-looking croissants are certainly not beautiful and definitely a challenge to hold up (they hunch over like a 80 year-old when you pinch it up with 2-3 fingers). Taste wise - it was a pleasant, fruity and floral-y mix of flavours. Despite the fruit, floral hints, I wouldn’t say this was refreshing or light in taste as the custard and buttery croissant layers do add up to a heavy flavour and… exceptionally filling meal.

Almond croissant
$5.50++ (dine-in), $5.50+ (takeaway)
Expensive and… probably not something I would spend on again. Stuffed with almond paste and topped with almond flakes, this is pretty much a standard croissant. Unfortunately, the almond flavour wasn’t pronounced. Tiong Bahru bakery sells this at approximately the same price, and a tad tastier - more buttery in taste and stronger almond flavour!
