the best croissant in sg (i queued 30 min before opening 😩)

i did a croissant taste test a few years ago and posted the results on tiktok, and got so many comments about how i HAVE to try petit pain HAHA. so last week i happened to walk past the store 30 min before their opening and saw a queue alrd starting to form so i decided to join it.

verdict is that it truly was the best croissant i had in sg HAHA lowk hoped it wouldn't be bc queuing in the heat sucked but the flakiness, the complex flavours really made it unrivalled.

it's limited the 4 per pax so definitely max out and get 4 if u queue for it.

Rating /⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: 5/5

📍Petit Pain

... Read moreWaiting in line for Petit Pain's croissants was definitely a test of patience, especially under the hot Singapore sun, but the experience made the reward even sweeter. What impressed me the most was the unique fermentation process of the butter, which takes three days and adds layers of deep, complex flavors that you just can’t find in regular croissants. The lamination felt just right—flaky yet buttery, not too greasy or dry. Besides the classic croissant, I highly recommend trying their lemon brioche as well. It’s light, zesty, and a perfect companion if you want a sprint of refreshing flavor. The strict 4-per-person limit can be frustrating if you come with a group, but it also means the bakery is ensuring freshness and quality for each batch. From personal experience, arriving early is crucial; the queues start forming well before opening due to the croissant's popularity. However, once you get a bite, you’ll understand the hype. Petit Pain has mastered the art of balancing traditional French baking techniques with subtle, innovative touches like butter fermentation to elevate the croissant to a new level. If you’re serious about croissants in Singapore, this spot should be on your radar. It’s not just a pastry; it’s a crafted experience that rewards your wait with flavor and texture that’s truly unrivalled in the local scene.

i queued 30 mins for this ~$10/pax Michelin Star ⭐️
This was one of those meals that stays with you long after you leave the table. From the first dish to the last bite, everything felt comforting, bold, and cooked with real confidence. Not flashy for the sake of it — just genuinely good Sichuan food done right. My absolute favorites were the 口水鸡
