The cronut trend might have fizzled out in Singapore but it’s still going strong at Dominique Ansel’s Shibuya outpost. This is the real deal, straight from the source of the original cronut, and every other pastry pretender to the cronut throne pales in comparison. Each month, a seasonal flavour is released, and March has gifted us with the delightful Pomegranate & Kokuto Cronut – an impossibly fluffy, multi-layered confection of buttery bliss piped full of tangy pomegranate jam, then glazed with a smooth kokuto(Japanese brown sugar) ganache and lightly dusted with a fine layer of kokuto sugar. Even after having suffered the indignity of travelling for than 15 hours in an airplane’s overhead compartment, the cronut was still as fresh as a sun-kissed spring day.

Taste: 4.5/5
