Caught up with high school friends over the weekend in Singapore where I got a taste of the bread and pastries at the popular
Tiong Bahru Bakery. It came highly recommended by a friend in KL and since I have a love affair with bread, why not!

I was pleased there wasn't a long queue. In fact, there was nobody in the line. The selection wasn't too overwhelming but it does make one crave for everything on display. Unfortunately, our tummies were not bottomless so we had to settle for just a few.
 |
| The sweets! |
 |
| The savoury. |
We were pretty decisive with what we wanted, so here's what we got:
 |
| Chocolate Almond Croissant ($4) |
The
Chocolate Almond Croissant was good, just wish it was more buttery haha..
 |
| Apple Kouign Amann ($3.90) and Lemon Tart ($6) |
The
Lemon Tart was more of a soft biscuit sandwich with a lemon filling, not what I was expecting but delish nonetheless. Now, the
Apple Kouign Amann was what I really wanted to try. This sinful little round cake is a Breton cake made with bread dough, containing
loads and loads of butter and sugar -
just my kind of thing.
 |
| Pain Au Chocolat ($3.90) and Apple Crumble ($6.80) |
The
Pain Au Chocolat was good, but it could have done with more chocolate. Finally, the
Apple Crumble - this was a little on the sweet side with hardly any apple. The crumble was good though.
Overall, it was a fun catch up, reminiscing the school days, and every single teacher we encountered then and their funny habits haha..
Verdict: It may have been my high expectations but I wasn't entirely impressed. I much prefer
Yeast! The sandwiches and quiches looked appetising though, shall give those a try next time.
