Yay, finally got my hands on these croissants! Had to order a box of 5 croissants for the free delivery to the CBD today. I got an assortment of flavours to try! π
(Disclaimer: I was misled into believing it was custard-filled π The filling was actually more like three big spoonfuls of Nutella.)
I wonβt deny that this monster sized croissant is gorgeous. Look at that gold dusting!
Taste-wise, donβt expect a very flaky, crispy, buttery croissant with endless layers. This βmochi croissantβ as it is called apparently has glutinous rice flour thrown into the mix. The result is a denser and chewier croissant with fewer layers inside. The hazelnut chocolate is extra rich, sweet and generous. I liked the thick chocolate coating on top, that was a nice touch. For maximum enjoyment, Iβld recommend sharing this with 1-2 other people, and having this with some earl grey βοΈ
