That very first bite of Asanoya's newest Brûlée Croissant reeled me in. And because I'm feeling all emotional on New Year's Day, I would have described it as a taste of success, surrender, satisfaction, joy and celebration all wrapped up in one bite; or one cube to be exact.
If you're not already aware, Asanoya is a reputable Japanese Bakery that offers over 70 kinds of freshly baked breads and pastries ranging from Danishes to Swiss Rolls, Quiches, Tea Breads and the whole lot. All made-in-house using premium ingredients imported from Japan. Hence textures vary across the board for most breads as compared to those churned out by local bakeries. Alright, I digress, back to the newly introduced golden cube of white cream-filled dreams.
As if a perfect cube of croissant dough isn't enough, the folks at Asanoya have made it feel like an extra special treat with cold white chocolate fresh cream piped into its centres only upon ordering. It's sweet, yet not cloyingly so, light yet with enough depth and heft to stand up to the enriched dough. No Brûlée is complete without that caramelised glazed top, and Asanoya's version takes it to utopian heights with a flame torched sugar crust that reveals teensie bits of blackened edge that stand in beautiful juxtaposition to the cloud like white chocolate filling.
It's New Years Day, and thank goodness satisfaction doesn't have to be delayed that long as the joint is stacking these up high across all three of their outlets today, the 1st Jan 2018! And in collaboration with the bakery, I'll be giving away a Brûlée Croissant set for two which consists of 2 x Brûlée Croissant and 2 x Hot or Iced Coffee/Tea to one lucky reader.
