Snack Box

Trying out another party box of sweet treats! This time from the brainchild of Masterchef SG runner-up. The doughnuts themselves are super light and pleasantly chewy from the many hours of fermentation, texturally like really good youtiao. Generous portions of artisanal flavours are stuffed into the doughnuts with some peakage for identification. They are less sweet than famed franchises, yet packs so much flavour and creaminess into one serving. The fruity ones with a tang that cuts right through, and the rest just absolutely rich and indulgent.

Receiving this box was like a gift from me to me, opening up to the most wonderful smells of a bakery.

The signature croissants, which are always sold out early in the physical stores, have the richness of butter and flaky layers that simply melt in the mouth. It feels almost like a hug especially when warm. My only gripe is the tough outer shell but get through that to yield generous goodness inside.

Within the box, there are two filled twice-baked croissants: the Mentaiko Prawn, savoury with generous chunks of prawn and garnished with ito garashi to look like whiskers; Pistachio, the sweet sister with praline and bobbles of french meringue on top.

The festive spins are the Toffeenut Escargot - swirl shaped to nest the liberal crumbles and Cookie-Butter Cruffin - muffin shaped with hits of sugar and Christmas spices. Both a heart of mochi for a pocket of chewiness, much more palatable than their mochi donut cousins.
