๐ดCalling all chocolate lovers, Paris Baguette has released new Rock โnโ Choc items at wallet-friendly prices until end of the October!
๐๐จ๐๐ค ๐ง ๐๐ก๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ ($8.90) - Enjoyable mix of creamy coffee custard cream with airy chocolate sponge. Paired with a brownie layer and rocky road chunks. Personally did find the cream:sponge ratio a tad off.
The ๐๐๐ซ๐ค ๐๐ก๐จ๐๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ง ($3.20) was deep bittersweet chocolate with a sweeter caramel coating. The ๐๐จ๐๐ค ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ ($3.20) had aromatic cinnamon swirled within. Both buns were fluffy and soft, and loved the topping of fluffy mini marshmallows, crunchy chocolate balls, and mixed nuts and seeds.
๐๐จ๐๐ค ๐ง ๐๐ก๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐ซ ($2.90) - One for the sweet tooth with caramelised, crispy flattened croissant dipped in dark chocolate sauce.
๐@parisbaguette_sg, multiple outlets across Singapore
๐๐๐ง๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ญ (3.5โญ๏ธ; $18.90) - One for the sweet tooth with caramelised brown sugar brioche paired with caramelised banana, candied pecans, vanilla bean ice cream, and salted caramel. Personally wished for some toning down of sweetness.
@madubakerysg has returned for a limited time only pop up at Clovelly (1-31 August) and you can only imagine how excited we were!
๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ (4.5โญ๏ธ; $20.90) - Giant sized rendition of Maduโs iconic favourite, loaded with juicy sweet prawns, yuzu mayo, and cheddar cheese, with generous dousing of savory and crunchy salted egg cereal bites.
๐ฟ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐จ: Good for sharing as these are big portions! We enjoyed both the fruit-focused red wine poached pear with lemon curd (3.5โญ๏ธ; $15) and apple galette (3.5โญ๏ธ; $15).
๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ข ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐ (4โญ๏ธ; $25) - Well-timed tender fish with aromatic and balanced tomato and fennel sauce.
Previously popular for their pastas, Eleven Strands has undergone a menu revamp with an extensive offering of delicious food and desserts.
๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ (4โญ๏ธ; $24) - Richly savory risotto with seafood aroma, paired with crispy fried tentacles.
๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ข๐๐ก (4โญ๏ธ; $23) - Crisp on the outside and pillowy soft toast packed full of flower crab with sweet mayo, tangy pickled-shallots, juicy umami pops of ikura, and refreshing herb salad.
๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ (4โญ๏ธ; $24) - Delicious sharing plate of fresh, plump, and juicy @ahhuakelong mussels. The homemade Tom yum rempah hit all the right sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy notes. If nitpicking, did wish for the mussels to be better cleaned as several had the beard still attached.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐ค๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ค ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐จ (3.5โญ๏ธ; $18) - Distinct earthiness and deep buah keluak notes with well-rendered pork belly sandwiched in a crisp bao. Did find it to lean on the richer side and would have preferred for pairing of tangier achar (over the current nuttier rendition) for better balance.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ค ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ซ๐ฌ (4โญ๏ธ; $15) - Delectable sharing bites of moist and buttery financiers paired with creamy and umami chicken liver mousse. Personally found the zesty orange peel to be polarizing, adding a refreshing touch yet detracting from the richer stars.
Specialist Rรถsti shop dishing out generous portions of thick, shredded potato lightly crisp on the outside with soft lightly buttery interior. DIY your own with 1 main, 2 sides, and a sauce.
Theyโve released two unique local-inspired combinations - ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ and ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ค๐๐ง ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฒ! The former had a flavourful mix of spices with a cheesy finish. Personally preferred the thick and succulent chargrilled chicken satay with the nutty peanut sauce and smoky finish. We added on an original Swiss Veal Bratwurst ($9.90) which was thick, juicy, and satisfying.
๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐ข ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ (4 โญ๏ธ; $6) - Have always been a fan of their soft and fluffy brioche buns. Generously loaded with creamy cheese, earthy mushrooms, and rich umami flavour from the nori and bonito flakes. Sad to hear theyโre closing this week
Was skeptical of the name but this really surprised us with its distinct floral pandan aroma and almost buttery creamy finish. Bought a bag of beans home to enjoy and it was just as good as in store!
