Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) - Delicious Pastries in Cafe Atmosphere

 Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) - Bakery Front

I was on my way to visit Urban Farm @ Funan when I saw Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall). 

Master baker Gontran Cherrier founded Tiong Bahru Bakery in 2012. He operated the first store at Eng Hoon Street under Spa Esprit Group. Tiong Bahru Bakery now has 6 outlets spread across Singapore.

Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) has a cafe layout with padded chairs and sofas. The orange lighting and display of freshly-baked goodies made the place look warm and inviting.

Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) - Almond Croissant

Tiong Bahru Bakery is famous for their croissants. I usually go for the plain Croissant [S$3.50], but I wanted to try something new so I got a Almond Croissant [S$4.80] instead. It is a little flatter than the plain croissant, laden down by the almond flakes on the croissant. The croissant itself if buttery and soft. The almond flakes gives the croissant a nutty crunchiness while powdered sugar gives it a little sweetness.

There are also Green Tea Almond Croissant [S$5.20] and Almond Chocolate Croissant [S$5.20] available. 

Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) - Original Kouign Amann

Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) - Display 1I didn’t know what a Kouign Amann [S$4.50] but it looked so good that I ordered one anyway. According to Wikipedia “Kouign-amann is a Breton cake, described in the New York Times as "the fattiest pastry in all of Europe." The name comes from the Breton language words for cake (kouign) and butter (amann)”. Layers of butter and sugar are folded in, similar to puff pastry. It looks like a round caramelized croissant with a soft buttery inside. 

Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall) - Hot Chocolate

I don’t drink coffee so I opted for Hot Chocolate [Regular S$6.40, Large S$7.40, Iced S$7] instead. It’s thick and chocolatey and the latte art is pretty.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
