\"karafuruIt’s long. It’s hard. It’s shaped like a sausage. It comes in different sizes, usually\u00a02 to 6 inches. It has different colors, from brown\u00a0to white. Masterbakers squeeze\u00a0it. Most ladies and some men love it.\u00a0And when you put it into your mouth, it creams. And suddenly, it’s mushrooming and popping its head everywhere. Yes, that’s right, it’s eclair.<\/p>\n

Eclair is a French pastry from profiterole dough, baked until it is crispy and fluffy. Besides a good pastry, the filling should be light and balanced.<\/p>\n

From our least favorite to our favorite…<\/p>\n

Although I’ve visited Maison Kayser several times<\/a> since its opening in 2012, I usually go for their delicious savory bread and avoid their famous eclairs (because I’ve tried all the eclair flavors and don’t like them). But how can an eclair list not have Maison Kayser, the first famous eclair to enter Singapore?<\/p>\n

\"maisonThey no longer have their famous pistachio eclair; and they change the recipe and almost double the price of the eclair. It’s $5.60 now, not $3.40 in 2012, but it is also the biggest eclair of the four shops. The chocolate eclair<\/strong> is OK. The pastry is a little too soft but the chocolate has a nice tingle, almost alcohol-like, though it is too dense.<\/p>\n

\"karafuruPronounce the name of the shop. Ka-ra-fu-ru. Yes, it’s Japanese for “colorful”!! SO CUTE, right? It’s even cuter that the shop is entirely WHITE. What’s karafuru is the Japanese-inspired eclairs.<\/p>\n

\"karafuru<\/p>\n

\"karafuruThe baker is the same one from Windowsill Pies and Fix cafe. He researched for 8 months, since December 2014, aspiring for the Japanese type. But the eclairs are not as fluffy and crispy as I’d like, and they are quite expensive at $6-$7 a small piece, smaller than the usual size. Our favorite flavors include the jasmine matcha<\/strong> ($6) for the sweet eclair; and passionfruit<\/strong> ($6) and strawberry yogurt<\/strong> ($6) for the sour. All three of us didn’t like the coffee eclair<\/strong> ($6).<\/p>\n

\"karafuruHowever they make everything freshly from fresh ingredients. They even make their own Greek yogurt for their parfait<\/strong> so the fresh yogurt is sweet, not sour. There are 6 flavors of parfait<\/strong> at $16 each. Given a choice, I’d rather go for the parfait than eclair because it’s more value for money.<\/p>\n

\"l'eclairL’eclair\u00a0is pure class. Marble tables, big gorgeous epergne, plush seats.<\/p>\n

\"l'eclairI’m little concerned about the price of the eclairs, almost $9. But the ispahan <\/strong>($8.50), which is an atas name for bandung<\/em> (rose-flavored), is wonderfully balanced, not too sweet, very fragrant, and with tart raspberries to brighten up the eclair. Mr Fitness didn’t like the salted caramel<\/strong> ($7.50) but I think it has the same lightness of touch as the ispahan.<\/p>\n

One good thing is that they also serve savory bakes.<\/p>\n

For two eclairs and a pot of tea, we paid $26<\/strong>. Pretty expensive huh?<\/p>\n
