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!

This post is brought to you by Délifrance Singapore.

Time and again, we have seen short-term food trends come and go. But one that remain pretty stagnant (in a good way) is the Salted Egg Yolk Craze. Then, along the way, everyone is working with their creativity and trying to incorporate this ingredient to every kind of dish possible.

As big fans of the tasty salted egg yolk in both savoury dishes and sweet desserts, we are always looking out for the next best salted egg yolk dish. In our appetisers, in our desserts, in our snacks… everything. We are always ready to try.

This guide includes some of our favourites from our original Salted Egg Yolk Dishes guide, and after several adventures islandwide, we have compiled a list of the best Salted Egg Yolk Dishes in Singapore.

TSURAI SPICY SALTED EGG FISH SKIN

Tsurai Spicy Salted Egg Fish Skin is the newest fish skin snack in the market and quite possibly one of the best fish skin snacks in Singapore. Any time is a good time for fish skin. This is one of the best things to snack on.

The Salted Egg fish skin snack is one flavour that will please everyone, and it will never go wrong. So good, you can eat it on its own. Or use it as dunks for your steamboat! The Salted Egg flavour is slightly spicy, so the kids may want to go easy on this.

ARBITE CAFE SALTED EGG YOLK FRIES

Fries all day, every day. All the better if they are coated with salted egg yolk sauce! Arbite dishes up a really mean serving for less than S$10, so this works really well as a sharing dish. Even better if you have it all to yourself.

Wait, what sore throat?

With their in-house gelato made fresh daily with very strong local influences on their flavours, you can only imagine our delight when we saw salted egg as a flavour here. The flavour itself was distinct enough and the texture of the gelato was spot-on.

IMPERIAL TREASURE FINE DINING SALTED EGG YOLK SQUID

Sure, salted egg yolk squid is getting pretty ubiquitous and it is not that unreachable. But few places do their salted egg yolk dishes as well as Imperial Treasure Fine Dining. The Salted Egg Yolk Squid (S$22) is our pick, but if you are not a fan of squid, go for the Salted Egg Yolk Prawns (S$28)

Now, you have to trust us on this because we’ve been there many times and they never disappoint. Totally worth the splurge!

TASTE GOOD SALTED EGG YOLK CHICKEN

Taste Good at Sim Lim Square does a salted egg yolk chicken that has us falling in love with every bite. The richness and creaminess of the salted egg yolk  that combines with the crispiness of the chicken is totally to die for. It can do with more sauce, though.

THE CHINATOWN STALL SALTED EGG YOLK TOFU

We chanced upon this food booth by Soup Restaurant at Takashimaya’s food hall and saw that they had a fried tofu with salted egg yolk sauce (S$4.50) cup to go and we knew we had to try it. Albeit nothing special, the sauce itself was decent and it made a good snack for our shopping adventures in Orchard Road.

THE REFINERY SALTED EGG YOLK ONION RINGS

The Refinery’s Salted Egg Yolk Onion Rings had us at hello. Thick cuts of onions coated with beer batter, deep fried, then lavishly coated with salted egg yolk sauce… no, you better taste it for yourself and enlighten us – what adjective is better than ‘best’?

All ice cream here are made in-house with less cream, sugar and less air beaten in for a richer taste. Having the Salted Egg Yolk Ice Cream (S$3.20) is like eating spoonfuls of smooth salted egg yolk custard, with textures similar to that of Italian gelato.

TWENTY GRAMMES CHARCOAL WAFFLES WITH HOMEMADE SALTED EGG YOLK SAUCE

Besides Fatcat Ice Cream Bar, another place that you should try is Twenty Grammes. The Charcoal Waffle (S$8.50) at Twenty Grammes was definitely on point. The crisp outer layer, coupled with the addition of an ultra-rich and slightly thicker salted egg yolk sauce, is such a divine combination. The sauce is served in a huge and generous pot and we could not have been more delighted and satisfied.

The salted egg yolk croissant trend has been catching up in our region, with cafes in Singapore, Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur coming up with their renditions of croissants that are filled with salted egg yolk.

Suddenly, everyone’s all about salted egg yolk croissant. Like, everyone.

But do you know that the original salted egg yolk croissant was first created by Urban Bakery Works in Hong Kong?

Urban Bakery is a chic and trendy cafe at Landmark that focuses on croissants (made with French A.O.C butter), with no less than seven different flavours – such as almond, crunchy peanut butter, Belgian chocolate, cheddar cheese, and brulee – available every day.

The Liu Sha Croissant is legendary. We are not even kidding when we say that we can easily eat two to three croissants at a go.

What you can expect from Urban Bakery is a molten custard croissant that oozes with sooo much goodness, your heart might just explode with excitement.

You get your flaky croissant with a buttery taste that reminds you of France – well, these peeps are dedicated. They use flour and butter from France to achieve a taste so close to what the French love.

Then, they upped the ante by injecting a savoury salted egg yolk filling with pleasantly thick consistency. The end result is a treat so brilliant that everyone in Asia is emulating now.

The other winner here at Urban Bakery is the Ball Law Cowssant – a hybrid of croissant and po luo bao (pineapple bun) complete with a slab of French butter.

It is no secret now. Urban Bakery at Landmark is our favourite place to be at when we need some cakes and croissants in Hong Kong. For the love for creativity, Urban Bakery, you win.
