Dark Angel ($4.50) is hailed as a milk-chocolate lava that oozes out as one breaks the bread into half. It didnβt ooze unless I pressed it but it was barely almost sufficient for the rest of the bread interspersed with chocolate chips baked into the bread. For the chocolate lover, this Dark Angel just barely scrapes the passing grade but I wouldnβt go out for it specially.
P.s also bought the chocolate cruffin ($4.50) but I would skip it next time - it was cold and lifeless like a vampire.
ROI: 20%
*Note: my taste palate leans towards dark bitter chocolate at a sweet spot of 65%-72% cocoa. So please use that as a gauge of my taste perspective.
Lastly, I definitely donβt want to miss trying some classic type of pastry like this Pain Au Chocolat.
Generous chocolate filling inside the pastry.
I spotted this already when Iβm still queuing, partly because of each interest colour of charcoal bread.
So decided to grab this as well. Funnily the texture was harder to bite than I would expected. But I like it actually. Especially when eating it with the generous cheese at the center.
Along the busy Bussorah Street, you would find a queue in front of this shop.
Mixture of tourists and locals, all of them are here anticipating to get a share for some of the excellent pastries from this shop.
Thereβs was so many options of pastries displaying on their shelf that I couldnβt make my choice immediately.
All of them just looking so exciting! But well my tummy and wallet is limited unfortunately.
First on my grabbing item, this Cranberry Cream Cheese Bagel has a very firm texture but not hard at all.
Good chocolate inside, the outside is crispy(only the outermost thin layer) and the pastry has some chew.
Not bad
It's not just the layer of choc outside, there's also choc chips inside.
However it doesn't taste very much like Madeleines anymore more like choc cake. Decent but not impressive
The lingonberry cream was pretty decent, berry taste was not v strong. It's piped on top of lingonberry jam and the bottom layer is a custard that's hardly sweet and there's some flavour to it, might be funk
The bread is dense so overall it's not really my thing but is decent.
I wouldn't recommend it particularly, it's only slightly novel
Can't rlly rmb
The scone was dry but at least the cream helped a little, so I guess relative to most Singapore scones this one is slightly more alright
Weekends only
Very interesting and quite enjoyable. The sponge is actl 1/4 of the way to a biscuit already in terms of the dryness and the slightly tough texture, but that's not a bad thing because with the layered cream the bite is really nice. Quite hefty, the sweetness was appropriate and the honey depth comes thru. The cream also has some saltiness to balance everything out.
I'd say it's worth it, for the huge portion as well as the many layers taking effort
Idk what's the promo
Their croissant are pretty good, still crispy 1h before closing, and quite airy with a chew when you bite into it. The raspberry jam was quite tart and it worked well w the slightly sweet chocolate flakes
Not bad, not mind-blowing though
Always wanted to try Medovik (which is actly a classic Russian honey cake), but first time seeing somewhere that sells this so I had to try it. Their "cake layers" (honey biscuit) were surprisingly really soft and moist, and the cream layer actually tasted more like they added cream cheese (?), instead of what is meant to be whipped sour cream. Cream was actly pretty fragrant though, just that it's too sweet for my liking we didn't manage to finish it.
Wouldn't mind being back to try the other croissants tho - heard the savouries are good and they are honestly super huge unlike the usual croissant sizes, just that the sweet bakes are too much on the sweeter side for me.
Tbh their myriad of pastries and bakes on display caught my eye when I walked in to @konditorisg, but only picked 2 to try since I was feeling pretty full from lunch that day.
Pistachio Danish ($8.20++)
This danish is cut into 2 halves, and generously filled with pistachio cream, which was actually evident, although as a Pistachio fanatic I would definitely love for this to be even richer and stronger, and just slightly less sweet. The Danish was slightly crisp on the outside, but did get a bit dry-ish to finish. NGL their bakes might seem to be at a slightly higher price, but they are all pretty huge in size.
A classic French bread that is rich in butter and eggs. The brioche is soft, fluffy, moist and beautifully tender with butter fragrance γ$3.50
Belgian chocolate enveloped by perfectly laminated flaky goodness. This croissant is buttery with a crisp flaky exterior and soft/puffy interior that gives a good chew γ$3.50
Choux pastry with hazelnut chocolate and praline cream piped lovingly between two round pastries (in the form of a wheel) then topped with flaked almonds. Although it looks heavy on the cream, it tastes surprisingly light with a mousse-like texture from the hazelnut praline and the almond flakes add more crunch to the crispy pastry γ$4.90

The croissants here are on the light and crispy side, and offer a wonderful crunch with each satisfying bite. Although it can get pretty sweltering hot in the snaking queue here, I promise every bite's worth it! πβ₯οΈ
Oh my where do I even start - the croissant was suuuuper crispy - you could hear the many layers crisp as you sink your teeth into this delicious masterpiece. Although itβs named βBlack Forestβ, itβs actually raspberry jam inside, and of course with no alcohol. The jam was super fruity and went amazingly with the chocolate flake toppings.
Definitely a sweet treat, slightly pricey but you pay for quality. We visited at around 11am on a Saturday and there was already quite a queue outside their bakery. Their popularity is most probably testament to their good quality bakes.
This definitely satisfies the sweet tooth craving. Love the nuts toppings that added a different dimension and texture.
The inside is nicely filled with a good amount of raisins and the layering of the pastry is also perfectly done.
Will be back for other pastries!

It's been so long since I had bagel and this is so good in satisfying the craving. The amount of cheese is just nice and not super strong, and the taste is really good.
Bought yesterday and had it today, probably should have heated it up a bit before having it. It got a bit tough towards the end.
But good nonetheless, will be back for other pastries!

One of the best croissants in SG - with unique flavours like red velvet, black forest and almond. The gouda and ham is savory and delicious too. Cinnamon bun is great too!
