A great start to an amazing morning, Mother Dough Bakery’s Almond Croissant ($4.20) was smashingly good. Deceptively plain looking, the halal artisanal bakery’s best selling pastry was anything but ordinary. The tantalizing frangipane being the main highlight for me by keeping the interior soft as well as slightly fluffy. Halved horizontally, the brown beauties were filled end-to-end with the fragrant almond-flavoured cream and a bite will reveal the all heavenly, buttery and nutty core. None too cloying, it was one of the best I have tried. With that said, a quick pop into the toaster to warm it up also did wonders to the flaky shell and crunchy flaked almonds atop. And if croissant with jam is a true classic, their almond croissant studded with blueberries were quite a treat - slightly sweeter with pops of tartness.
