Often the best things come in small packages and it was indeed so with @sugarthieves.co Croissant Omakase Bakebox ($38). Meant to be a surprise, each week sees a different assortment of their signature viennoiserie in cute two-bite sizes (that is depending on the size of your mouth).

A mix of sweet and savoury, the flavours in Bakebox 4 were a smashing hit - I might have lucked out as I enjoyed all of them. One out of the two sweet options, the Almond Raspberry was a classic twice-baked almond crusted croissant coupled with lovely raspberry jam. The other was a freshly baked Kopi Gao croissant filled with robust and smooth coffee cream. Great chilled or slightly warmed, it was made for fans of the brew.

The first smell that hits your nose even before opening the box, their Truffle croissant was insanely good in my opinion. Loving the heady aroma, I appreciated the airy texture and that the taste of truffle seemed to have infused beautifully into the buttery pastry. Topped with a blanket of shaved cheese, it added a tinge of saltiness and the earthy truffled mushroom pate sandwiched between was heavenly!

Perhaps paling, by comparison, the Egg Mayo croissant wasn’t as intriguing in terms of the flavour profile as the rest; but was nonetheless delicious with the considerable amount of savoury egg mayo stuffed in and sitting on the flaky pastry.

Who cares about onion breath when it comes to their Spring Onion croissant! Transforming the known Taiwanese street snack into wonderful golden baked goodies, Sugar Thieves’ fun take on 葱油饼 was amazing. The savoury bits of fragrantly pungent spring onion and mildly tart sour cream tied harmoniously with the buttery, crispy bread.

Hence, keep a lookout for their upcoming bake box tomorrow! The ordering form opens up at noon every Monday, while stocks last.
