Singapore has been hit by a croissant wave, with brands serving up different versions of the classic French pastry, from smashed to a croissant-cookie hybrid. If you think you’ve seen all the versions of a croissant there are to offer, we’re here to say sorry, wrong! Because Hazukido is coming to town. They’re scheduled to open their first Singaporean bakery in Ngee Ann City, likely by August 2024.

The brand hails from Taiwan, but now has outlets worldwide, including some in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, even Canada. Image credit: @hazukidoquebec Though the brand isn’t from Japan, they adhere to the Japanese culinary philosophy of using premium ingredients and baking in small, limited batches to ensure that the quality of their bakes is consistent. Their buttery croissants are a product of French butter, Japanese flour, and ISO-certified eggs. 8 Bakeries To Get The Viral Crookie AKA Cookie Croissant In Singapore Singaporeans can expect an extensive selection of croissant flavours available at Hazukido’s Takashimaya bakery.  Image credit: @hazukidoquebec On their website, we count over 20 different flavours and fillings—highlights include a Taro Pudding Croissant, filled with orh nee, an Earl Grey Bubble Croissant, topped with actual boba pearls, a Premium Durian Custard Croissant, filled with D24, and many more.  Image credit: @hazukidoquebec Aside from sweet croissants, the brand also has a small selection of savouries, such as the Garlic Croissant, dusted with umami garlic powder, and a Seaweed Meat Floss Croissant, a zhnged-up version of the BreadTalk staple. While it’s not confirmed that all of Hazukido’s flavoured croissants will be sold at the Singapore outlet, we’re definitely anticipating a variety. We’re also hoping that they will be halal, or Muslim-friendly, but have no word on that just yet. 50 Best Bakeries In Singapore, Including Old-School Bakeries And Pastry Cafes We’ll update this article once we receive their official opening date and more information, so stay tuned!
