OLLELLA Review: Pretty Eclairs With Yuzu Yoghurt And Ondeh-Ondeh Flavours

After training in the art of pastry making from French and American chefs, they started up OLLELLA in 2016. Before I got a taste of the eclairs, I was already impressed by the kaleidoscope of colours and toppings.

Food at OLLELLA My favourite eclair was definitely the Vanilla Mascarpone ($6.90) . The mascarpone cream was slightly tart, with a hint of vanilla fragrance amidst the cream.

I tried the Raspberry Pistachio ($6.90) next, which is one of the newer additions. I mistook it for lychee taste at first, so I was surprised to taste the sour fruity cream.

It was topped with raspberries too, which gave huge bursts of tartness to each bite of the eclair. While I’m a fan of sour, citrusy flavours, this eclair was a little bit too much for me.

Ollella’s chocolate taste takes that formula and puts a far fancier spin on it, coating the pastry with gold dust and streusel toppings. The Intense Dark Chocolate ($6.90) was, true to its name, very rich and intense.

The Hazelnut Praline ($6.90) eclair was smooth and nutty, with almonds topping off the choux dough dessert. As it’s hazelnut-flavoured, the taste might remind you of Nutella, without any of the chocolate savour.

I was most excited for the Flowy Gula Melaka Ondeh Ondeh ($6.90) eclair. While ondeh-ondeh has pandan infused into the chewy dough, this eclair had it on the inside as cream instead. It felt like it was filled with kaya and not the sugary gula melaka that I enjoy in the legitimate snack.

It wasn’t as crunchy and sweet as the Vanilla Mascarpone, but I’d peg this flavour as my second fave from Ollella. Lastly, there was the Yuzu Yoghurt Eclair ($6.90) , which came with torched meringue and sour yoghurt filling inside its orange crust. It was sour and zesty, with the meringue providing a silky-smooth mouthfeel.

Along with the raspberry, it was one of the newer flavours. I enjoyed the tart sour taste, and it had a more subdued taste compared to the overpowering raspberry eclairs.
