Famous French-born pastry chef Dominique Ansel has teamed up with local chef Malcolm Lee of Candlenut to create a dessert version of our Singapore Chilli Crab at Dominique Ansel Bakery Japan. That is so cool!

Here’s everything you need to know about the awesome collaboration.

For the uninitiated, Dominique Ansel is the creator of the life-changing cronuts, cookie milk shots and frozen S’mores. The world-famous bakery currently has three outlets in New York City, Tokyo and London.

Dominique Ansel Bakery is not one to rest on their laurels. The Tokyo outlet has recently introduced What-a-Melon soft serve (a watermelon soft serve sandwiched between an actual watermelon slice) and Crème de la Corn (soft serve served on a piece of grilled corn). Needless to say, both desserts have been making its rounds on social media.

And now, Dominique Ansel Bakery is putting Singaporean “Chilli Crab” on the world map. The collaboration is with Chef Malcolm Lee, the head chef and owner of Candlenut—one-Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant in Singapore.

Dominique Ansel Bakery’s Singaporean “Chilli Crab” is essentially made with a chocolate “shell” filled with coconut panna cotta, pandan jelly, mango mousse, with mango tapioca “roe”. You can crack open the shell with a little hammer which is provided together with the box.

The Singaporean “Chilli Crab” dessert is priced at ¥2,400 and it is available from 25 August to 10 September 2017 at Dominique Ansel Bakery Japan.

Once again, congratulations to chef Malcolm Lee for the partnership with Dominique Ansel. We are so excited to know that our very own Singaporean Chilli Crab is part of the dessert lineup at Dominique Ansel Bakery. We are definitely keeping a lookout for more amazing creations from Chef Malcom Lee!

Dominique Ansel Bakery has opened in London! Londoners are sure in for a treat.

Dominique Ansel is a revered French-born pastry chef who has wowed the world with his extraordinarily unique dessert creations. For those not in the know, Dominique Ansel is the creator of the life-changing cronuts and cookie milk shots. While other patisseries are scurrying to replicate his inventions, Dominique is already on his way to create something entirely new.

The world-famous bakery has three outlets in New York City, Tokyo and now London. After much anticipation, the award-winning brand alas opens a 25-seater bakery in the capital of England. Snaking queues are already forming in the quaint Belgravia district; Londoners are evidently overjoyed with the city’s newest food-and-beverage addition.

Dominique Ansel is such a global smash hit and we are predicting throngs of eager fans queuing outside the gorgeous bakery for the subsequent months.

Similar to its stores in the Big Apple and Land of the Rising Sun, the outpost in London will too be launching an exclusive Cronut flavour monthly. The very first flavour is Salted Butterscotch and Cocoa Nib flavoured.

Needless to say, Dominique Ansel’s signature creations such as Frozen S’more and Cookie Shots will be available too. But that’s not all. Dominique Ansel values local British flavours and sees the important of integrating them into his desserts.

The Dosa Mille Feuille (£7.50)—an London exclusive dessert—is a delicate puff pastry “dosa” shell with hazelnut coffee, whipped Chantilly, lemon curd and candied lemon peel.

But to be honest, we thought that it was nothing special; you are better off sticking with the Cookie Milk Shots and Frozen S’mores.
