Last week, I was telling you about an awesome microbakery I found via Instagram. Since then, I've gone on a hunt for more small businesses like these and that's how I came across Choux Boxed.



Choux au craquelin is a delicate cream puff consisting of three key parts. The craquelin dough gives it that characteristic crumbled appearance, and it's baked on top of the choux pastry bun. After it cools, each bun is filled to the brim with a creamy custard filling. A box of 6 cream puffs will set you back $20 here.



We ordered the matcha, cheesecake, earl grey, durian, pandan and taro. Other flavours included vanilla custard and chocolate.

The packaging was very pretty. It came in a slideout, marble printed box and all the pastries were separated in their individual compartments. The flavours were written on the outside of the packaging, but it wasn't too hard to guess as most of them had a defining topping to differentiate. For example, the taro and pandan toppings were respectively purple and green.



The choux buns were textbook. The pastry was light and crisp whilst the custard was creamy and slightly thick so it didn't readily drip out after each bite and make a mess.



Depth of flavour varied. I found the cheesecake flavour was quite light, as was the durian. As I had been intending to split the order with a friend I had asked for the durian puff to be wrapped separately, in case the pungent smell would overpower and cling onto the other pastries. They had agreed to wrap it in additional baking paper to prevent this and whilst they had forgotten, the durian flavour was light enough it didn't become a problem anyway.

I think these would make a lovely gift for a loved one, and if you do you must get the earl grey. The flavour was much stronger than the others, and it featured an unexpected creme bruleed top, adding another exciting crunchy texture to the experience.

You can DM them on Instagram @choux_boxed to place your order, available for pick up on select weekends. Pick up is from a residential house in the North Western suburbs.
