Da Paolo Gastronomia's Salted Egg Croissant - My Personal Favourite So Far

The salted egg croissant war has been going on for some time now, even my doctor took notice of it and proclaimed Da Paolo Gastronomia's Salted Egg Croissant to be the best in Singapore, although the winner goes to Antoinette's Salted Yolk Lava Croissant in the The Straits Times article.  

 
I happened to be in Paragon so I thought I would drop by to taste Da Paolo Gastronomia's Salted Egg Croissant.
 

 

 

 

 
As compared to Antoinnette's Salted Yolk Lava Croissant where the amount of filling is pathetic and tastes kind of funny, Gastonomia Da Paolo's Salted Egg Croissant is loaded with the sweet-salty goodness to the very ends of the croissant. The filling still does not have the flowy consistency of lava, but the sweetness and saltiness is well-balanced and the salted egg yolk flavor is very intense. I would have liked the croissant itself to be a little bit more buttery (Antoinette's croissant is perfect) , but the flaky exterior and finger-licking-good salted egg filling has won my heart over completely. 
 
Besides Salted Egg Croissant, this Italian deli chain offers many other delish-looking desserts. alongside mouthwatering pastas and pizzas. There is also a small retail section where you can get festive treats. This place reminds me of Boturra in Suntec City. 
 
I still have 4 more places to try out before I can determine the best salted egg croissant, but

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
