[Verdict: Terryfic đđ»] I dare say you canât go wrong with the Kouign Amann from @tiongbahrubakery. They are apparently the first (or one of the first) to bring in this sinfully delicious Brittany viennoiserie onto Singaporeâs shores. If you havenât already tried this, please do.
Itâs a huge piece and itâs so good that youâll finish it all. Donât count the calories or sugar in it to prevent a shock-induced heart attack. Quite a good deal for $5++.
Why is it sinful?
Copious amounts of sugar is sprinkled between many layers of laminated dough made with quality French butter. That same dough is then swirled to give its distinct appearance.
The end result is a crispy, flaky exterior thatâs coated with caramelised sugar. On the inside, itâs fragrant, soft and buttery.
If youâre wondering why it can be a bit salty within the crispy pastry, thatâs because salt is one of the key ingredients.
