Boms & Buns

Tiny but interesting flavour. The kaya refers to the pandan custard filling. That cream at the top is butter with charcoal sea salt, which was way too overpowering.

🍮 Salted Caramel Cream Puff ($4.50) (9/10)
I was expecting the pastry part of the cream puffs to be kinda like regular pastry skin, but the pastry skin actually has kind of a soft cookie crust! The cookie was really fragrant and sweet and I did not expect it at all. The salted caramel cream has a buttery and lightly salted taste, it's so generously stuffed. Really really good and so heavy 🏋️‍♀️

🌰 Nutella Cream Puff ($4) (9.3/10)
This one is my fav. The filling isn't really nutella, more like hazelnut-flavoured cream, and it is INCREDIBLE. The skin also has that really nice cookie layer that makes it all the more delicious. I'd actually love if this also had some chopped hazelnuts inside to further elevate it. But really amazing!

🥯 Cinnamon Bun ($4.50) (8.5/10)
This cinnamon bun is huge and it's so soft! Even after a few days in the fridge, it was still really soft and chewy after toasting with a prominent cinnamon taste.

Beside their popular boms, they also sell some buns as well.

The coffee butter bun is pretty similar to those you bought outside, with coffee topping and butter filling inside. Fluffy and not too oily. $3.90

East Village has become a hub sprawling with home-based bakers turned bakery-store owners. Such a pleasant surprise for an Eastie like me, since I’ve semi retired from baking myself with a lack of time.
The cinnamon bun was good, the size of the bun helped in ensuring the bread was soft and moist enough inside. Nothing to fault about the classic combination between cinnamon sugar and cream cheese.
I’ll be willing to try their boms on my next visit

Hidden inside East Village, there’s this bakery shop that attracted lots of people for it super attractive colours of boms display at the counter.

Was here right after they just open their shop and there’s already people crowding around.

You can preorder from website or just come early to buy them, as their boms are available for walk in sales.

Grab all 5 of them to make it a box for $22. They have a few flavours available depends on the day.

There’s kaya butter with pandan custard, whipped mascarpone cream and topped with salted butter.

The super red is filled with nutella inside, with whipped mascarpone cream and hazelnut praline on top.

The one topped with lots of cheddar and white chocolate is filled with light milky cream cheese inside.

Another one is topped with shinny caramel around the custard, with sea salt, caremel and cream filled within.

Last but not least is the perfect blend of hazelnut praline and milk chocolate. There’s also a hazelnut inside as well.
