I've actually been itching to try the gorgeous bakes from @mrholmesbakehousesg ever since they opened their doors here - but the crazy hype and long ass queues was killing my buzz and I did not want to experience the anguish of being told something was sold out. *Stares at Sourbombe*

Seeing as the craze and hype have migrated over to Eggslut, I figured this was finally my chance to try Mr Holmes! Here's what I got:

Cruffins:
◾Blueberry Hotcake [$6]
◾Pistachio Cream [$6.5]
Mr Holmes is famously known for their cruffins, which is a croissant muffin hybrid - though pretty much just in shape. Loving a high cream to pastry ratio, these were just amazing. The Blueberry Hotcake variation actually tasted like hotcakes from the maple cream. The Pistachio cruffin was simply delish as well and it's definitely became one of my favourites.

Croissants:
◾Lemon Meringue [$7.5]
◾Yellowpink [$7.5]
◾Raspberry Hibiscus [$7.5]
Apart from their cruffins, Mr Holmes has a wide array of deliciously filled croissants as well. The eye-catching Yellowpink is a Singapore exclusive, filled with mango curd and is crazy sweet and crazy good. It also gave me the most stress in regards to keeping it intact for shoots - that darn pink chocolate topping breaks so friggin' easily that it made my head spin.

Their Lemon Meringue also won my heart over - with an intense tang of lemon curd that I simply adored. The Raspberry Hibiscus was their latest flavour for the month and compared to the other two croissants I had - it sadly didn't make any lasting impression on me. The flavour was floral but lacking quite a bit in raspberries.

Donuts:
◾White Choc Macadamia [$5.8]
◾Blood Orange Creamsicle [$5.8]
I'm surprised I have not gotten sick of filled doughnuts yet. Mr Holmes also offers a couple of bioche filled bombos that are pretty good in their own way. The Blood Orange Creamsicle was unique and refreshing. White Choc on the other hand was kinda meh - when you compare it to everything else, sadly it can't compare.

Well, I'm simply blown away by the bakes by Mr Holmes and can't fathom why I didn't try them earlier! I'll definitely head back to try more!
