Content Creators Review the Viral Egg Croissants
The Butter Eggs are designed to look like a carton of eggs, with six pieces packed together and available in three flavours: dark chocolate, salted egg and pistachio. The bakery describes them as its take on Singapore’s first egg-shaped croissants, combining a crisp, flaky pastry shell with different fillings.
In their video, Natasha & Erwin highlighted the novelty of the egg-like shape, which makes the pastries look almost like something picked up from the supermarket rather than a bakery counter. Beyond their appearance, the pastries are meant to be easy to eat, with the filling tucked inside the laminated croissant shell. Sharing the video on their Instagram, Natasha & Erwin (@onericeplease) reviewed the viral egg croissants and stated that the very first thing they liked was its packaging. Sharing the authentic review, Natasha stated, “Kind of feels like the dark Hershey’s chocolate. It’s just egg-shaped croissants. But it’s good, not bad.”

Egg Croissants Are an Asian Spin On European-Style Bakes
Butter Bread is known for putting an Asian-inspired spin on European-style bakes. The bakery says its croissants are made using French AOP butter and a homemade French levain that has been maintained for 20 years. Its menu also features other inventive pastries, including Orh Nee Mochi Croissants, Mentaiko Shio Pan and Financier with Parmesan Cheese.
Located at 371 Beach Road, #B1-56, City Gate, Butter Bread in Singapore currently operates from Tuesday to Saturday, from noon until 6:30 pm or until its bakes sell out. With their supermarket-style packaging, unusual shape and three contrasting flavours, the Butter Eggs are yet another example of how bakeries are turning familiar pastries into social-media-friendly food discoveries.
