Keong Saik Bakery (Keong Saik)

The black sesame croissant which was pretty good as well with a generous amount of black sesame flavour with the crisp croissant texture 😋

Got @keongsaikbakery's bakes on @pickupp.sg because I really want to try their new Miso Kouign Aman but had no time to head down. The combination of the sweet and savoury along with the buttery pastry made it unique and I enjoyed this because Kouign Aman in general can be overly sweet at times too.

superrrrr yummy!!
mentaiko cheese cube ranks the top for me, the crust super crispy and the mentaiko with the cheese top was really good. best eaten with its heated up!!

next up is the matcha cruffin. the matcha oozes out when being cut into and it’s the thicker kind. taste wise, it leans towards the bitter rather than sweet, which i really appreciate.

lastly, it’s the passionfruit mango tart. pretty strong zesty taste. but the filling is more watery as compared to the matcha cruffin.

all these 3 pastries adds up to $21.

These were our staples for our breakfast at Keong Saik Bakery:

1) We started off with the mentaiko baguette ($5) and it had a pretty legit mentaiko taste to it! Baguette was pretty hard as expected, so it's definitely not recommended for those of you who do not like very hard breads and pastries.

2) We had the miso Kouign Amann ($4.50) next and it was supposed to be a Kouign Amann infused with the taste of miso, and garnished with a large amount of seaweed. To be honest, we felt that there wasn't much of a miso taste to the pastry. However, it was a fairly good Kouign Amann nonetheless, and we really liked the caramelised exterior. That being so, it would be nicer if the pastry itself were more buttery!

3) Lastly, we had the banana danish ($3.50), which served as our first dessert (the burnt cheesecake was our second), as it was pretty sweet. It was an interesting take on the pastry as it was our first time having a danish with actual banana slices in it.

Generally, while Keong Saik Bakery's takes on pastries were very interesting and their flavours are novel, we felt that their pastries were actually pretty small (especially compared to Bread & Hearth on the opposite of the road)! Both of us were not very full even after sharing the 3 pastries above. ☹️

We were probably one of the rare customers who had a burnt cheesecake early in the morning, and we decided to try out the two-face burnt cheesecake as it seemed unique! The upper half is a normal burnt cheesecake and it was pretty heavily-flavoured; we were thankful for the smaller serving size for once as the cheesecake could have gotten pretty gelat after a while!

The bottom layer of the cake is basically a matcha mousse, and we liked the grassy and slightly bitter taste, which was a nice contrast to the cheesy flavour in the top half. The slice was priced at around $8 but to be honest, we felt it was a little pricey for its small serving size. Thankfully, it was pretty yummy! 😋

We are back at Keong Saik Bakery for their morning bakes and we decided to get a cup of green tea latte to accompany them! The drink had a pretty grassy flavour, which was still evident even with the foamed milk. It was a pretty pleasant drink to start off the day right and it costs around $5!

Keong Saik Bakery was fairly empty when we visited on a weekday morning and most people were office workers getting their breakfast to-go. That being said, there is still a one-hour time limit for dining and you may have to be prepared to sit outdoors since there are limited seats indoors!
