A really classic yet delicious brownie, the matcha is rich and strong in flavour while the brownie itself has a rich cocoa taste and a cakey texture. Would definitely get this again!

Finally paid a visit to @breadandbutterbyxy's physical store and her bakes are still so good! Love how the buns were so fluffy and the sticky pecan bun wasn't too sweet plus the nuts gave it an extra crunch. The peanut butter brownie had a good peanut butter to brownie ratio with the brownie not being overly dense too. The goma and yuzu pound cakes were moist with light flavours while fragrant at the same time and the honey butter biscuit was crisp outside yet soft inside.

Decadent brownies? Yesss. Caved in to this speculoos brownie served warm with a molten speculoos and brownie center. This is absolutely rich in chocolate, with just the right size to not feel too sinful. ($4.50)

🍪 Ying & Yang Cookie

Popped by @breadandbutterbyxy 's cafe the other day and got this Ying & Yang cookie! Texture wise, its pretty chewy and has a nice fragrant and chocolatey taste. For the price, it's a bit on the smaller side, but it does make for a great midday snack!

Had been noticing Bread & Butter Bakery Cafe (not to be confused with Bread & Butter Bakehouse; another bakery that is situated at Kensington Square along Jalan Lokam) ever since the days that they were doing renovations to prepare for their opening at Oxley Tower — situated on the ground level of Oxley Tower, they are quite easy to spot considering the pastel pink aesthetic that is all the way from the walls to its wares. Having previously operated as a home-based business, Bread & Butter Bakery & Cafe’s opening of their Oxley Tower space also marks their very first foray into dine-in operations. Whilst still primarily being a spot that is meant for takeaways, there are around three tables good for two pax each for dine-in. The display shelf at the counter pretty much shows what is available for the day — items available on the day of our visit includes a selection of bread rolls, brownies and loaf cakes; just to name a few. Bread & Butter Bakery & Cafe also does serve up a short list of beverages — this includes specialty coffee, as well as some iced teas which they have dubbed as “Signature Ice Tea” in their menu as well.

Visiting Bread & Butter Bakery & Cafe for lunch, we found ourselves settling for the Truffle & Cheese Bread Roll which was very much the only savoury bread that is being listed on the menu. The Truffle & Cheese Bread Roll features elements such as premium Italian black truffle paste, cheddar, mozzarella, and topped with finely-grated parmesan. We found it a little bit of a shame that they didn’t heat up the bread before serving it to us (not that we have asked if they would be able to do so) — we reckoned that the Truffle & Cheese Bread Roll would have done even better if it is being served warm or fresh out-of-the-oven. We liked how the bread rolls here aren’t particularly overwhelming — the bread itself was surprisingly light, fluffy and airy considering the fact how some bread rolls tend to be a little more stiff and dense. Swirled within the roll would be that oozy melted mix of cheeses, which is also laced with that Italian black truffle paste that adds on that whiff of truffle aroma amidst all that savouriness going on. Overall, a pretty satisfying bun that is fairly light and easy to have.

Apart from the Truffle & Cheese Bread Roll, we had also tried a slice of the Black Sesame & Kinako Loaf Cake, as well as their White — we found the former to be decent as well; a light cake that was surprisingly not too dry considering how it consists of black sesame with Kinako crumbles over the top. Prices are fairly reasonable here as well; the highest priced items being at $5.50 which are somewhat affordable to the office folks around the Central Business District. Bread & Butter Bakery & Cafe seems to be off a good start — a spot likely well-patronised by the office folks for some sweet treats to bring back to the office!
