Brotherbird Milk & Croissants Review: Unique Mochi Croissants With Matcha Kit-Kat, Hazelnut Fillings And More

Does it mean mochi fillings in a croissant or just an extra chewy croissant? Brotherbird Milk & Croissants has somehow managed to add glutinous rice flour into their croissants to make the classic pastry crispy, flaky and chewy at the same time – genius.

Mochi croissants at Brotherbird Milk & Croissants We picked up all the flavours that were available when we headed down – a grand total of five – and tried the Original Mochi Croissant ($3) first. This looks the most boring out of the lot, except for its glossy sheen on the surface. The mochi aspect completely integrated with the dough, so each mouthful was a sweet mix of crispy and chewy textures.

The light sweetness comes from the glaze on the crust, and it was balanced out by some sea salt added into the dough. For a sweet treat, I’d go for the Rocher Mochi Croissant ($5) .

This has a coat of dark chocolate glaze covering half the croissant, with praline cream hidden inside. The dark chocolate glaze had bits of hazelnut in it, so the croissant as a whole really deserves its name.

This might get jelak ‘cause of the lethal combination of buttery pastry and sweet filling, so share it with someone to prevent a food coma. Along with the dark chocolate inside, this make a really sweet treat that should be shared as well.

The last sweet croissant I tried was their Lemon Meringue Mochi Croissant ($4) , which comes with torched meringue on top and lemon cream as a filling. Unlike the Rocher and Matcha croissants, this was more balanced in taste.

In this photo is the Ham & Cheddar Roll ($5) that hides layers of chicken ham, cheddar and bechamel sauce. Perhaps it’s since they were folded, but the layers of chicken ham felt thick and provided a good bite. The croissant flavours offered at Brotherbird Milk & Croissants are always on rotation, and other flavours we’d come across are Kinder Bueno and Fruity Pebbles.

Drop them a call at 9296 4997 to find out what’s on disposal before you pop by! Ambience at Brotherbird Milk & Croissants We went to the branch at CT Hub 2, which frankly doesn’t have much of an ambience; it’s just a takeaway outlet.

There’s a counter with all their bakes on display, and walking in will be a treat for your senses. You’ll be hit with the aroma of the buttery goods baking in the oven, and your eyes will be pleased by the colourful croissants.

Yes, the ice-cream was good, but it’s not a treat I’d go out of my way for.
