Where to go for salted egg croissant in Singapore

Salted egg croissant was started by Urban Bakery in Hong Kong. The wave has then moved to Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. Many flocked to these cafés for a taste of the croissants. It was such a great idea. We had salted egg fries, salted egg chips, salted egg crabs, salted egg donuts etc…I had been wondering, how come no one does salted egg croissant in Singapore?

Now, it’s finally here! After the launch at Flavour Flings, many cafes are serving it as well. You see queues of people lining up for the limited supply of the pastry. If you don’t know what is salted egg croissant, well it’s a marriage of two different cultures of pastries – the French croissant and the Chinese liu sha bao (salted egg yolk custard bun). Here are the list of cafés that serve salted egg croissant, the list will be updated regularly. Note: Limited supply daily, go early to avoid disappointment!

Antoinette
Address: 30 Penhas Road, Singapore 208188
Tel: 6293 3121

Chef Pang Kok Keong, chef-owner of Antoinette has given Antoinette’s well-loved croissant the perfect companion, in the form of a smooth, creamy and decadent salted egg yolk flling oozing out of its light and airy centre. Using traditional French methods of laminating high quality French butter and dough at controlled temperature, the croissants have crispy and flaky crust. To achieve the perfect oozing centre, the croissant flling is made with real natural salted egg yolks, sugar and milk, and hand-sieved to give it a silky-smooth texture which tasted just like the custard bun (liu sha bao). The croissant is priced at $6.50++ for dine-in and $6.50+ for take-away. It is available at its Penhas outlet at 11am daily. Antoinette’s Mandarin Gallery and Softel outlets will retail from 10th February at 1pm daily.

This halal cafe at Hougang Avenue was the first to introduce the pastry in Singapore. Unlike Antoinette, they do not bake their own croissant. They got it from supplier and piped the salted yolk custard into the croissant, then baked before it’s served. It is only available for takeaways from 5.30pm daily excluding Tuesdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Located along Changi Road, this laid back cafe and coffee bar has also introduced their salted egg croissants ($5.50). Break it apart, tear into it – you will not long resist this divine treat of savoury and sweet. We heard there are only 20 pcs available daily, it’s sooooo limited, so you better grab it quickly before it’s gone!

One of the latest cafe to offer salted egg croissant ($5.90) is Bridge. Our writer Hazel says this is made in-house with 2 salted egg yolk. It has a more buttery taste but lacks sweetness and crispiness. The salted york seems more watery and milder in flavour. It is available from 3-6pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. If you aren’t a fan of salted egg, try their new truffle honey custard croissant ($6.50).

P/S the salted egg croissant is available on 6th & 7th Feb 11am onwards. They are closed on 8th and 9th.
