Da Paolo Gastronomia

After visiting the dentist I go to the basement of Paragon to get my prescription. And on the way of the mall out I notice some goodies in a glass display which look like cronuts except the label read Crodo. So I order the one that looks the least sweet, the glazed crodo, yes I know my dentist wouldn’t approve. I get back to the office, I plate and cut the Crodo half which revealed a soft and layered inside. I take a bite and the pasty is soft, buttery and almost melts in your mouth! As anticipated it was a little too sweet but that didn’t take away how good this merge of two very different pastries tasted. I will definitely be back for another! …Read More

The cronut = croissant + donut is absolutely ingenious!Had the chocolate cronut and the original custard. Though it was a tad sweet, every bite was worth the sinfulness that came with it. They are really filling though as I only had half a cronut and I had to take a break.Try to consume it on the same day, or put it in the fridge if you can't immediately consume it, else it may go soggy.…Read More

I had not bought anything from Da Paolo Gastronomia before, but since they sell Crodos and the craze with it is still ongoing, why not try their rendition?The only variant I had tried is the Chocolate Crodo. The Crodos have a somewhat flaky texture on the exterior that resembles croissants but shaped like a donut, but there is not really much bread filling inside which is good for those who finds donuts too dense for them. Instead, accompanying the chocolate filling inside is a texture that is greatly identical to our Chinese doughsticks (You Tiao), though less the oily or doughy taste with a buttery one that you usually would find in croissants. The chocolate filling was sweet but not overwhelmingly so to cover the taste of the pastry, and so does the hardened chocolate on the top too. Something I particularly do not like about the Crodos would be how oily it was. It does not take much effort to squeeze out the amount of oil absorbed in the pastry; it just gets to your hands just by holding it. I am not sure if the Cronuts are identical in taste and texture to the Crodos, but it is definitely a delectable pastry to have a bite on. Currently there are two flavours sold here at $4.90 per Crodo, which are Cream and Chocolate. Cream comes with sugar coated on the top and a cream filling inside (which I had not tried) while the Chocolate comes with hardened chocolate on the top with chocolate filling inside. …Read More

Cronuts are currently the hottest food in New York! A cronut is a croissant and donut hybrid developed at a New York City bakery in 2013 by pastry chef Dominique Ansel and made by frying croissant dough. Da Paolo Gastronomia has created its own version called Crodo. It looks like a donut, but is made from croissant dough. There is 2 two flavours which costs $4.90 each.Cream-flavoured CrodoIt is filled with sinfully delicious rich custard cream filling, finished with a sweet glaze and dusted with sugar on top.Chocolate CrodoThe pastry topped with the wonderful bittersweet chocolate and filled with chocolate filling.Both tastes very nice, I personally like the Cream-flavoured Crodo better as it looks closer to a donut but taste like croissant. The cream filling balance the taste better too. It is exciting eating the chocolate version with the chocolate filling flowing out.…Read More

Whenever I'm craving for sweet comfort food, I would always think of the tiramisu sold here. It is one of the best tiramisu you can find in Singapore. Everything is done very well, smooth mascarpone cream with rum soaked cake layers in between. You could taste the perfect combination of liquer, coffee and cocoa with each bite. I just wish the liquer content in the tiramisu were higher. I usually buy the medium box. The small cup they sell simply isn't enough! …Read More
