New Yorkersâand subsequently TikTokâwent wild for the creme croissants that Lafayette Grand Cafe & Bakery began baking earlier this year. Instead of flying 18 and a half hours across the planet to get your hands on some, pop over to Cluny Court at Botanic Gardens MRT Station instead, because theyâre now baking at local bakery Swish Rolls!
In case youâre just getting caught up on the trend, the viral CrĂšme SuprĂȘmes only debuted in April this year, attracting so much attention that the French bakery in New York City started seeing hours-long queues even before they opened each day. Theyâre so highly sought after, that each customer is only allowed to buy one.
In essence, itâs a circular croissant that is made over a process of three days; itâs filled with assorted creme fillings, topped with ganache, and finished with crumbly bitsâclassic and seasonal flavours here include Corn Berry, Pain au Chocolat, Rose Berry Spritz, and even a Peaches Nâ CrĂšme.
Here in Singapore, Swish Rolls is the answer to your FOMO-ing, having launched their very own version called the Croon just last weekend.
Theyâre available in five flavours, including a savoury Ham âN Cheeze ($5.80)Â that stars turkey ham with bechamel sauce, mozzarella, and cheddar.
More exciting are the sweet variants, which include Loaded Pistachio, Deep Dark Valrhona Chocolate, and Super Summer Berries. Each of these filled croissants is priced at $5.80, and you can preorder them on the Swish Rolls website for delivery or self-pick-up at the store.
We loved the Deep Dark Valrhona Chocolate, bursting with a dark chocolate creme centre, and topped with sea salt. For something brighter in flavour, Super Summer Berries features a creme of strawberries, raspberries, and a touch of lemon. If youâre just here for the croissant, theyâve got a Crackly Sea Salt Butter ($3.80) too, lightly glazed with syrup.
