Bakery-cum-café Délifrance – a leading pioneer of artisanal French pastries – is a reputable household name in Singapore that everyone knows.

Just when you thought their French Butter Croissant is all to love, wait till you find out about what they have up their sleeves lately!

The renowned brand recently launched a series of gourmet Halal-certified mini flavour bursting croissants, and they are available in the following flavours – Cookie Butter, Hazel O’tella, P’Nut Lava and Salted Egg.

These handcrafted croissants are baked fresh daily, and each sweet treat is stuffed with generous amounts of fillings so that it bursts with flavour with every bite.

From now till 19 June 2016, all of you are entitled to a complimentary croissant with every three pieces purchased. All you have to do is to simply share this blog post on your Facebook, flash it to the Délifrance’s staff.

Délifrance’s talented pastry team has successfully integrated flavours that we all love into their authentic French croissants; the end result is a series of delightful snacks that can be eaten at any time of the day.

These palm-size treats are ideal for quick-fix breakfasts, snacks to be served at events, or any time you need some happy food to brighten your day!

Each croissant at Délifrance is prepared with painstaking craftsmanship; 27 layers have been created to achieve a luscious honeycomb structure. Délifrance takes pride in serving the freshest and tastiest authentic French croissants. This dedication includes importing all the flour and butter used directly from France.

Délifrance’s croissants are characterised by the alternating distinct layers of crustiness and flakiness. The crescent-shaped pastries are crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy and buttery inside. This is truly what a good croissant should be like!

Délifrance has added final touches to the croissants by incorporating ingredients with contrasting textures.

The P’Nut Lava croissants are topped with desiccated coconut shreds, and are for those who prefer a rich, creamy sweetness.

Then, there is the Hazel O’tella which are essentially Nutella-filled croissants sprinkled with chopped almond. What’s better than a buttery croissant?

Délifrance’s Nutella-filled croissant, of course! Think savoury butter saltiness coupled with contrasting creamy sweetness from Nutella; the end result is a luscious treat with every bite of the Hazel O’tella.

The Salted Egg croissants made with real salted egg yolk and they are covered in sesame seeds to give it a nice bite while enhancing the saltiness with a subtle hint of fragrance.

The Cookie Butter croissants finished with Biscoff caramelized biscuit crumbs are such sheer delights that really got us cookie lovers swooning. The kids will love this too.

Trust us that one flavour-bursting croissant is not enough!

You would probably expect such high-quality delicacies to be pricey, but these are affordable luxuries at S$2.30 each and S$6 for three.

If you are buying these croissants to go, you need not eat them cold. To restore the cold croissants to its fresh-from-the-oven glorious state, preheat your oven to 170 degrees celsius, then put the croissants in for 30 seconds to warm them up.

It is worth mentioning that the croissants actually do still taste good when left outside in room temperature. But of course, nothing beats a lukewarm croissant oozing the flavours we all love!

Back in the 90′s when we were growing up, cafes were a luxury and if we could have a croissant or a danish, we would be happy for the entire week. There were not many options then, and we say with certainty that most of us grew up with Délifrance.

In our memories, the French-style cafe was the closest we could get to Paris, and the baguettes and croissants were favourites that filled our hearts with glee. Today, cafes are aplenty and French bakes and sweets are commonly found, but Délifrance still holds a special place in our hearts. For one, the familiarity is ever comforting.

Recently, Délifrance has just relaunched the heritage croissant – an enriched version of its signature butter croissant – as well as four new croissant flavours. They reminded us of how Délifrance holds true to the French’s baking philosophies, and with the heritage croissants bagging home several awards, we are heartened to know that the French cafe will stay to impress many more generations.

We are also giving away 3 X S$50 Délifrance vouchers. More details of the giveaway at the end of this post. Here, we share Délifrance’s new croissant lineup that are available at all 30 Délifrance outlets in Singapore, and some promotional prices to tempt you further.

For many of us who grew up with Délifrance, we would be familiar with the signature butter croissant. And you would think not further than it being your childhood reward, but Délifrance has gone one step further now. It is not just a mere croissant; it is an award-winning croissant.

To pay homage to the Heritage Croissant, the taste is improved by using top quality French ingredients such as finely milled premium wheat flour from Grands Moulins de Paris (GMP), fresh butter from Brittany, and certified Label Rouge eggs. To put it simply, Délifrance’s new heritage croissants are now tastier, healthier and crispier.

Don’t just take our words for it. Délifrance’s Heritage Croissants even received three Golden Stars – the highest honour awarded to exceptional products scoring 90 marks and above – in a blind taste test by a panel of experts from the world-renowned International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi) in Brussels.

And for your tasting pleasure, Délifrance now has five different Croissants that are good for any time of the day. Sweet or savoury, you take your pick.

PLAIN HERITAGE CROISSANT (S$2.50 till 28 Feb/ U.P S$2.90)

So this is the star of the show. Try it for yourself to believe its buttery and flaky goodness. If you are lucky enough to be at Délifrance just when they have baked a fresh batch of Heritage Croissant, you will be rewarded with a warm and healthy croissant that is fresh from the oven and so very fragrant. Cut it up and you will see a beautiful layered bread that boasts a pale yellow shade, with the steam releasing from within and perfuming the air with a rich, buttery smell; we are in heaven.

Otherwise, the regular croissants still taste crispy and flakes while you eat. Grab a cup of coffee for a quintessential Parisian breakfast, and you are set to achieve great things for the day ahead.

ALMOND POULET (LIMITED TIME OFFER S$7.50)

The Heritage Croissant also comes in two savoury flavours that are filling and suffice as a full meal. The Almond Poulet (S$7.50), as the name suggests, is served with chicken and sprinkled with almond. It is the same buttery croissant, sliced in the middle and generously filled with grilled chicken slices and fresh greens, then finished with almond toppings. Perfect for a casual lunch, and good for a grab-and-go on a busy day when you are shuffling in between meetings.

TURKEY BACON & CHICKEN HAM (LIMITED TIME OFFER S$7.50)

Alternatively, opt for something with fuller fillings. The Turkey Bacon & Chicken Ham is something that we can eat on a regular basis, because the savoury pairing of turkey bacon and chicken ham is evergreen and never fails to satisfy. What makes this so pleasing is the adequate portion; it makes a great dinner without over-indulging.

CREAM CHEESE WITH STRAWBERRY TOPPINGS ($3.90)

The combination of cream cheese and strawberries is a winning recipe. The Cream Cheese with Strawberry Toppings Croissant (S$3.90) makes an ideal morning pick-me-up, or as a light snack in the middle of the day when you are feeling peckish. It goes especially well with a cup of tea. Just the thought of a good flaky croissant cocooning fresh cream cheese and plump strawberries fills our hearts with glee!

HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE WITH ALMOND FLAKES (S$3.90)

Hazelnut. Chocolate. Almond flakes. Croissant. Now, put them all in a sentence and what you get is a croissant that is irresistibly divine. The sweet treat that you’d need to wake you up in the mornings can be the same sweet treat that you’d need over afternoon tea. Well, let’s just say anytime is a good time for the Hazelnut Chocolate with Almond Flakes. This is our absolute favourite!

It would be perfect if it came with a molten chocolate filling. Imagine this – you’ve got a warm croissant, and rich chocolate flowing out as you cut the bread up… A chocolate lava croissant, anyone? We are keeping our fingers crossed that Délifrance would create this miracle soon.

From now till 28 February, you can get the Heritage Croissant at a special introductory price of S$2.50 per piece. From 1 March onwards, it will retail as S$2.90 per piece, or S$8.90 for a pack of four.
