Churning out fresh bakes daily, we picked two pastries that caught our attention the most. The Shio Kombu Mascarpone biscuit ($5) was flaky, lightly dense and savoury through and through with plenty of umami-ness to it. In contrast, the Kaffir Lime Guava Strawberry danish ($5.50) was flaky, sweet and creamy. The sweetness of the strawberry compote, tanginess of the cream cheese and textural bits of guava was truly a beautiful combination of flavours. Totally could understand why this is an all-time favourite!
Hearty, aromatic and rich in flavours. Encased in a flaky pastry, the lamb was braised to fork tender with a distinctive taste of the red wine and overall not too gamey. The pastry was flaky and with a glaze made from the lamb jus, it added an element of sweetness to the entire pie. Worth the price? Definitely!
This caught my eye instantly that I couldn't help it but bought one back for tea. Sweet and flaky layers of buttery goodness that oozed happiness. This delightful pastry was crisp and what I liked most was that it was not overly sweet.
Always love a buttery goodness and its difficult to find good scones in SG. This box cosisted of plain ol' classics and their monthly seasonal flavour - Hojicha Longan. The scones were 1.5 times bigger and filling than others I've had; and were light, moist, lightly sweetened and slightly crumbly. Worth every calories!
The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie serves up a range of classic French pastries and unique creations. Special flavours are also re-created from familiar desserts such the Apple Crumble.
Definitely what piqued my interest was their signatures the Trio of C ($7.20) and Fleur De Framboise ($8.20). The Trio of C was a combination of a crossiant, cheesecake and cookie into a single pastry. And the most gorgeous bake, the flower-shaped Fleur De Framboise was filled with raspberry jam and raspberry confit in the middle, which was tarty and natural-tasting. Both pastries are a lot denser compared to croissant and surprisingly less sweet.
Highly recommend the signature Pistachio Escargot - a crossiant pastry baked in the shape of a snail, swirled with nutty pistachio custard and rose-scented cranberries. The crossiant was flaky, buttery with a nice harmony of sweet and aromatic from the chopped pistachios and dried rose petals. Definitely will queue again to try the rest.
Loving the chilled beancurd filling together with the crumbly texture of the tart. The soya beancurd was soft and silky smooth and held solidly in a buttery tart cup. Personally I feel that the soya bean flavour could be stronger but nonetheless these tarts are delicious and a healthier choice than the usual egg tarts. Definitely best to have them chill.
The humble box consisted of mixed ugly scones - 2 Original, 2 Earl Grey & Fig and 2 Double Chocolate & Kaffir Lime. Not as smooth or elegant looking as the English ones, they looked more like rustic rock buns that were worth every buck. The scones had a cookie crumby texture with a buttery and soft interior; and although they looked petite, they were filling. Highly recommend the Earl Grey & Fig version for its unique taste. Yumz! 😋
The choux pastries were light, encrusted with a charcoal costing; and filled to the brim with fresh, rich and luscious custard cream. The matcha had rich earthy notes to it while the houjicha had a subtle roasted aroma (and my favourite). A must-try for chocolate lovers is the double chocolate choux though denser in comparison, had a light yet deep chocolate flavour with a nice bittersweet balance to it. Loves 😍
Studded with chocolate, the classic chocolate chip cookie is lightly crunchy and chewy with a gooey chocolate filling. Not overwhelmingly sweet and an absolutely oozing happy treat! 😁
Pretty assortment of speciality éclairs than are 'leveled up' of the usual ones. Each choux puff is filled with a different cream filling that had a perfect consistency and a delicate explosion of flavour. Some had an interesting glaze that gave it an added crunch or topping that highlight the unique creation. A sure winner that is both deliciously sweet amd exquisite in design. 😍
Look at the beautiful layers of golden brown whirls that made up the curves of the crossiant. August's pre-order box came with the original, chocolate, and unique creations that were pumped with special fillings and twice-baked. My favourites were the original, the uji hojicha and lemon meringue. Each piece had a perfectly thin-crisp and flaky exterior; and a fluffy and buttery interior that were absolutely scrumptious. Worth the hype? 💯😋🤤
