Cedric Grolet, a well-known French pastry
chef, has established his first brick-and-mortar store in Singapore, at Como
Orchard.
The first-floor store features a variety of
viennoiseries, including his famous croissant, pain au chocolat, Pain Suisse,
and Parisian flan, as well as items inspired by fruits and flowers and a
Singapore-specific tea menu. However, local sources say Cedric Grolet’s
Singapore store has received mixed reactions after its opening.
Born in 1985, Grolet specialises in fruits
and the reworking of traditional French desserts. He is also the author of
Fruits, a cookbook that explores his fruit-based treats. The famous chef built
his first store in Paris in 2018, followed by The Berkeley in London last year.
The Como Orchard store is the fourth in the world.
