Back at one of my favourite dessert places. ? Japanese patisserie chain Henri Charpentier used to be located at Dempsey and it boasted a pretty and atas outfit that really made us feel like tai-tais when dining in. Now that the Dempsey restaurant is closed, we can still head to their two outlets at Tanjong […]
If you haven’t tried the pastries from Tai Cheong Bakery Singapore, now is the time to do so as there is no queue even during peak hours. ? Having my Hong Kong egg tart tea break now really brings back some fond holiday memories. The classic egg tart is one of the must-eats when visiting […]
My love for choux bun began in UK. ? My then-boyfriend (now husband) thought I was too easily satisfied because it was just a simple, unpretentious choux bun from a supermarket chain that only cost £1! So whenever I visited the UK, he would buy a few boxes of the choux buns before picking me up […]
There’s no such thing as too much cheese tarts! ? So sinful but so irresistible. I’ve been a loyal supporter of Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart for a year or so now. Since then, I’ve been buying their cheese tarts whenever I stumble upon an outlet either in Singapore or Malaysia. Still think the tarts from their KL […]
I love cheese and in fact anything with cheese but I’m not so crazy about it that I will just join a long queue for it. When hubby and I stumbled upon BAKE Cheese Tart in Siam Center which is their latest outlet to open after the ones in EmQuartier, Central World and Central Ladprao, […]
Hadn’t gone in JB for quite some time so Hubby and I took the day off to go eat and shop. The currency exchange rate at the moment (RM316 <-> SGD100) is just outrageously good. I can’t help but compare prices between SG and MY all the time now and then I’ll think twice whether […]
While it was a pity that we didn’t get to enjoy the recreational facilities at Vincom Mega Mall Royal City because of the maintenance work and renovations, it wasn’t a wasted trip either because if we hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t have discovered this amazing bakery. I love bread. Nothing else excites me as much […]
When I travel to a different country, I always like to check out its local bakeries (besides supermarkets) because I love bread and I eat it all the time. It’s something that I can easily make a meal out of it and I can have it whenever I feel like it. 🙂 While exploring the […]
Two weeks ago, I accompanied W to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and I came across this pretty-looking Green Tea Puff (S$2.90 each) while buying snacks at Polar Puffs & Cakes. Had to buy two home to try. 🙂 When I cut into the puff, I was really delighted to see how thin the choux pastry […]
There was a time in Singapore when Mexican coffee buns were really popular. I remembered trying those from Rotiboy but I wasn’t super impressed with them – they tasted like regular buns with crispy topping. Anyway, Rotiboy had already ceased operation here a long time back though you can still find them in Malaysia. When […]
Those of you living in the West may have already stumbled upon Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart at Jurong Point. However, do not mistake this for BAKE Cheese Tart at ION Orchard and Westgate which is the real deal from Hokkaido, Japan whereas Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart is by Malaysian cafe chain, Secret Recipe. I first […]
Whenever I come to the Balestier area, I seldom leave here without getting a box of my favourite tau sar piah or 豆沙饼, a Chinese flaky pastry with green bean billing. I had tried the tau sar piah from several bakeries in the same neighbourhood. [Read my earlier blog post -> 603 Tau Sar Piah […]
Bubble Tea. Froyo. Shibuya Toast. Over-The-Top Milkshake. Korean Fried Chicken. Salted Egg Yolk Croissant. Singapore has a never-ending list of food fads in recent years. Just weeks before popular Japanese cheese tart shop, BAKE opened at ION Orchard, our good old local bakery chain, PrimaDeli also launched their new lava cheese tarts. The cheese tarts […]
Normally, when we hear the word ‘pancake’, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the round, thin & fluffy cake that we eat with syrup and/or butter like the hotcakes from Mac N Dees. While Pancake King does breakfast and dessert pancakes (with bananas & caramel sauce, sausage & eggs or chicken nuggets […]
My recent food posts were all Whampoa-related and this shall be the last of the lot to conclude my Whampoa/Balestier eat-venture. There’s no better way to end off with yet another great find of an old school bakery like this. Many may not have heard of Sing Hon Loong but most (if not all) of […]
I stumbled upon this old school bakery by chance when I was exploring the neighbourhood on foot while waiting for Founder Bak Kut Teh to open for dinner on a Saturday late afternoon. Needless to say, it was the aroma of freshly baked breads that actually led me here. The sight of such a traditional […]
