Tiong Bahru Bakery

Tiong Bahru Bakery has taken our sunny island by storm. Everyone seems to be really crazy over it! I've seen numerous tweets and photos on Instagram about TBB and this place seems to be a household name now. X and I put off visiting this place because we were kinda waiting for the hype to die down so that it wouldn't be so crowded when we visit. We decided to visit one random day, only to see for ourselves that this place is probably gonna be packed for a long time to come










Cute wall!


A large selection






PACKED.



X and I didn't order much because we were going for a food tasting session later in the evening. So we decided to just take 3 pastries. We've heard alot about their croissants, but... we did not try it HAHA I don't know why but I guess the other items just appealed more to us


Iced Cappuccino - $7.50

At $7.50, the cappuccino is pretty pricey. No doubt that it was good, but it's still a little expensive


Pear Almond Tart - $6.50

The pear almond tart tasted like mooncake, topped with slices of pear.
The taste of the mooncake-like tart just didn't go very well with the pear. 
This was pretty disappointing


Kouign Aman - $3.50

This was my favourite out of the three! And I actually, really liked it! It's sweet, and very slightly salty. It also has a unique texture that I adore. X didn't feel the same way about it and thought it was just alright. I guess I have a soft spot for buttery sweet things haha


Lemon Tart - $6

The lemon curd was quite overwhelmingly sour so we didn't really like it but we thought the tart shell was nice!

Even though the place was packed, the staff were very polite and patient in serving. If the bakery is always this packed, I guess this place is not ideal for a long period of stay. Be prepared to eat and go. The pastries didn't wow us like we thought they would but I guess we may be back to try more of their stuff in future.
