Almond Croissant

Tiong Bahru Bakery, Eng Neo Ave., Singapore.
Rating: 3.5/5

Much to diner's dismay, this almond croissant does not come close to the iconic regular croissant that draws the village-sized crowd. Though it looks tempting, mouthwatering and disgustingly decadent, it remains nothing but a mirage. Something delicious only by design. However, if sugar and the texture and taste of melted marzipan is what you seek, this pile fulfills that wish in a gratifying way. Not to be eaten by fingers, a fork and knife could be the best way to tackle this heap of butter, film, almonds and powdered sugar (do you see it?). A comforting blend that begs to be gotten over with, if you are mentally strong enough.
