Tiong Bahru Bakery

Tiong Bahru is the place where I had always visit when I was a little girl till now an adult. On the weekend our family will travel down to the hawker centre and have our brunch. Now the old Tiong Bahru Estate has become a hot popular place after one another cafe has been establish over there.

In my childhood day, I remember the Tiong Bahru market & hawker centre used to sell locate delight food and I would said the place before the renovation is rather humid, with limited seat and unhygiene but after the renovation it has become much much better and more organise now. The wet market located at level 1, food paradise at level 2 and carpark at level 3.

I knew there has been a few cafe going on there but I didn't get to visit those cafe as my parent prefer the hawker centre food and drink there, not the bread and sandwich or latte and cappuccino. So in order to check it out those cafe, I went there myself and choose to visit the Tiong Bahru Bakery.

I did something embarrassing that day when I reached the cafe outside the door. I thought the door is slide open and I try to slide it using my strength but I can't open it and at that moment I thought that door is not a entrance door and was wondering is there another door to enter there. Luckily a lady waitress inside saw I standing outside but can't seem to open the door and she walk towards and push the door and at than I realise it has to be PUSH instead of SLIDE. -_-"

Various of sweet dessert tart

Savoury and sweet pastries

 



Croissant (S$2.50)

Many have raved about their Croissant as the best in town and of course is a must for me to order this. I like how the croissant turn out in a fanned layer shape. Indeed the croissant is so flaky and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside.





They even provide the jam for FOC and free-flow at the utensils counter. There are 3 kind of jams given, I took the apricot and berry flavour.

 

Almond Tart (S$6.00)

 

For the dessert, I was so attempt and spoil by the choice given. Can't make up my mind and the server is waiting and recommended their signature mix berry crumble but in the end I choose over the nuts, Almond Tart. The tart has a hard pastry crust outside with the soft and moist cake in the centre and topped with the slice almond and icing sugar. It would be perfect if the slice almond can be more generous.

 

Choice of drinks

 

Latte (S$5.50) 

 

Honestly I not a fan of caffeine sort of person, still again I standing at the payment counter looking at the drink choice painted on the wall thinking which to order. The server recommended the Latte, so I go ahead with the recommendation. I added a packet of sugar into the latte, not very bitter and is acceptable for me.

 

That day I went alone and didn't manage to try other foodies and definitely I will be back again.
