For now, the cronut reigns supreme in the world of fanciful food fads. All other fads measure themselves against the breakout popularity of this doughnut made with croissant dough.
While some insist that this deep-fried croissant has been around for decades, trademark rights go to Dominique Ansel Baker
in New York City, where people endure long waits and pay $5 per cronut (with a limit of two per person).
If the wait is too long and you're
willing to spend more, score one on Craigslist where cronuts sell for around $30 each. You can find plenty of similar attempts (all with different names on account of that whole copyright thing) in other cities around the globe.
Singapore
bakeries like Da Paolo Gastronomia offer their own take ( a deep-fried cross
between a croissant and a doughnut ). The “Crodos” from Da Paolo Gastronomia are
available in all its stores, including at Great World City, The Paragon,
PasarBella, Holland Village and I12 Katong. The Crodos sell for $4.90 each. Two
flavours, one topped with chocolate and another filled with pastry cream and
sprinkled with sugar.
The
Sugarloaf Cafe at Temasek Polytechnic's Culinary Academy will also start
selling its version, called the Really Good Donut.Patisserie G at Millenia Walk, also has their version. Go try it...
