A major throwback to the time I visited the charming Chū and Co for their wonderful bakes! More of a takeaway spot as there were limited seats in the area (from what I remember there were just random chairs around). So, I got the Bacon Leek Cream Scallion Oil ($6.50), Pesto & Comte Pistachio ($6.50) as well as Potato, Spam, Garlic Butter ($6) to go. 

Much love for sweet-savoury pairings, I really liked the Pesto & Comte Pistachio. My favourite of the lot, the pastry had a great lamination - think light, crisp, flaky, round croissant-like goodness after a quick pop in the toaster. The flavour from the pesto, comte, and pistachio combo was a solid ten too. Very nutty, superbly umami, and especially pleased with the herbaceous hint. I just enjoy the intensity of the mix. However, something to note, it did get pretty oily due to the pesto.

On the other hand, the Bacon Leek Cream Scallion Oil ($6.50) was more of a miss for me as the dough was a little dense and the flavour profile was tangier due to the cream. The amount of leeks, leek cream, and bacon to dough ratio was a tad off as well as I personally prefer more toppings in every bite. Hence, for the Potato, Spam, Garlic Butter ($6), the dough was also a little harder to chew but there were a good number of potato cubes and saltish spam covered in melted cheese to go around. A lovely and classic option to reach for when craving a carb-y snack. Overall, the prices are kinda steep but the offerings are rather unique and they come pretty sizeable.
