L'eclair Patisserie (jewel Changi)

Expensive pastries. Got them a few months back during Xmas period. Didn’t feel they’re worth the price tag. Reached at 11am, staff was kind enough to offer to store in the fridge for me while I have lunch at jewel first. However when I collected, the staff just gave the box. She only tied the ribbon after I asked abt it 🙁 Think it’s worth a try, but will not revisit. Don’t get the hype abt it

Bought this home for the family when shopping in Jewel. Very nicely crafted dessert that came with a pricey tag. The shells were good golden brown but lack that slight crunchiness. The texture was a little dense but not soft enoughas a contrast of the shell. Each eclaire had a glaze was done well and sparkle in the light. Some of the flavours were a little overwhelming and can be too harsh on the palate for some. My favourites are the salted caramel and the spiced pear chocolate. They are good but still lack that "oh it is so good" factor.

I went to Jewel today -21/5 and bought 4 eclairs (2 dark chocolate, 1 Lychee white peach n 1 salted caramel)from this shop. I told the staff that I want to keep the eclairs for tomorrow but she said we must consume the eclairs by today except Earl Grey and Ispahan. I did not think too much or ask for the reason why cannot keep in the refrigerator for the next day. I tried immediately after I reached home, the Eclairs ‘s dough were not very fresh and was soggy. The dark chocolate was not too sweet which scored a good point at it but the salted caramel was a bad choice, the filling inside tasted weird- not a good choice for kids cos my kids rejected it after one bite…Overall, the Eclairs were just normal, not worth to spend $ 32 for buying back home.

Definitely not the cheapest eclair but the product quality is there. Ispahan was the most delicious flavour that we tasted. Vanilla and caramelized pecan was tasty. The dark chocolate was okay. The lavender milk chocolate had a bit overwhelming smell, remind you more as an essential oil, not as a dessert (i'm quite sure it had some drops of the edible lavender essential oil).

Beautifully pieced together, would made a perfect house gift. Personal favourite is lemon flavour, refreshing and not too sweet. Price on the steeper side ~$8/pcs. Would only get it with burpple deal. Recommend to buy first before shopping around jewel and collect later to reserve the flavours you want before it’s sold out.

As a French person, I strongly approve of these éclairs and this pastry shop in general. Nicely assembled, tasty, a bit pricey maybe but not excessive either.
