Eclairs
I love eclairs. There's just something very lovely about biting into well-made choux pastry filled with chocolate pastry cream and topped with dark chocolate. And it has to be a chocolate mousse filling. Custard or fresh cream variations just don't seem right and can't quite cut it as far as satisfaction levels are concerned.
One of the best eclairs I've had was in Paris when I was on holiday there with the Skinny Epicurean. Having heard of the wonderful eclairs at La Maison du Chocolat, we bought one caramel and one coffee eclair. Both were divine and we sighed in satisfaction and delight as we sank our teeth into them.
I had the chocolate eclair pictured above at Corduroy Cafe in Vivocity and thought it was good. If you know of any other places in Singapore that have good eclairs, please drop me a note. I'm on my eclair quest!

Eclairs displays a great crust followed by a creamy center. Beard Papa has really grown here in San Francisco.
Keep writing!!
