L’éclair And Le Matin Collab For National Day, With Kaya Butter Toast Éclairs And Hae Bee Hiam Doughnuts

L’éclair x Le Matin National Day Collab

Two luminaries of the local pastry world, L’éclair Pâtisserie and Le Matin Patisserie, have joined forces to create the National Day Medley ($69), a six-piece pastry box that takes influence from classic Singaporean flavours.

Pre-orders for these limited sets begin today, and will only be available for delivery and self collection from 4 to 9 August 2022. If the popularity of the two brands in question is anything to go by, you may need to snap these up with haste, or they could be sold out before you can say “patisserie”.

If you need a little convincing before you hit that pre-order button, a look at some of the pastries included in the set will do the trick. The Kaya Toast Eclair, for instance, transforms an éclair into Singapore’s favourite breakfast dish. It looks as if kaya frosting is layered over éclair, before a biscuit is added on top to recreate kaya toast’s signature crunchy texture.

Since Peranakan culture is integral to our nation’s identity, we are glad that one of its iconic ingredients, gula melaka, features in the Banana Gula Melaka Eclair. We reckon the caramel flavour of gula melaka—and of course, those sweet banana slices—would go well with the high-quality pastry that both brands are known for.

While the previous two pastries were plenty interesting, the Hae Bee Hiam Laminated Donut takes the cake as the collection’s most intriguing item. Hae bee hiam combined with a piece of crispy donut isn’t something we would have imagined to go hand in hand, but we’re all for trying it.
