Welcome to Lavender.

yet another tiktok recc… but it was too good to not try myself 😔
- $8 smoked salmon avocado croissant
- $8 sunny egg prosciutto croissant
- $6 peach mandarin sunrise soda

can i just say. $8 for one croissant with so MUCH fillings is crazy leh… i got the sunny egg prosciutto croissant without arugula but quickly regretted bc the salmon one looked SO APPEALING… but mine was so good too!!!!!

croissant was VERY crispy and sufficiently buttery… also had a lot of prosciutto and the egg was flowing too 😋 there was also cheese sauce drizzled all over which added so much dimension to the croissant!

stole a few sips of my friend’s drink and as a fizzy drink hater i actually loved it… wasn’t too fizzy that i couldn’t even taste the soda! but some may think its gone flat lol

am DEF coming back to try the salmon croissant next time, mark my words. 🐦‍⬛

Had been noticing the availability of this item at the favourite spot for quite some time but the dining partner who isn’t really a big fan of Hainanese-style Kaya Toast isn’t quite into wanting to ordering it to share during our visits here — decided to make an order for it during one of the visits that we had made there by ourselves. To our recollection, this isn’t the very first time of which these folks had served up an item inspired by the Hainanese-style Kaya Toast, though this rendition would feature elements such as brioche that is accompanied with their B&B House-made Kaya and strips of salted butter, and a slow-cooked egg that comes with the usual soy sauce and pepper seasoning bottles (just like how it would be in a Kopitiam) that one would be able to add to the slow-cooked egg to their fancy. Other items on its menu that feature the B&B House-made Kaya includes the Classic Waffles with House-made Kaya, Jam & Butter and the Good Ol’ Classic Pancakes (available only at their East Coast location).

The brioche here is toasted to a crusty surface on the exterior; we liked how the bread didn’t feel particularly dense here — makes it quite an easy eat. There is actually sufficient butter and the B&B House-made Kaya that comes in between the toast; the B&B House-made Kaya notable for coming in a shade of solid green unlike the more viscous consistency of commercially-made Pandan Kaya that one would be able to find at the supermarkets. Considering so, the B&B House-made Kaya emphasises more on the aromatics of the Pandan juice extracted from the pandan leaves; not so much on the sweetness of the coconut jam. The soft fragrance and its velvety smooth texture is pretty much on point without being sweet; these folks had included an additional serving of their B&B House-made Kaya in a separate saucer that one can dip their toast soldiers into if they require more — this portion comes with sprinkles of sea salt that gives a more intense saltish note that mimicked that of the salted butter. The slow-cooked egg came with runny yolk and whites; the comforting sort that most of us would have grew up having from coffeeshops, food courts or establishments notable for Hainanese-style breakfasts like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Toast Box. Definitely one of those Hainanese-style Kaya Toast-inspired items that we would find ourselves ordering considering the effort that they have placed in making their own Kaya here!

Golden Banana used to be rather popular at Golden Mile Complex, and like a few other F&B establishments from there have now shifted to City Gate.

Now situated on 2nd storey of City gate, golden banana is certainly a must have for me. Everytime before I leave city gate, I will definitely get a packet of golden banana.

Taste almost like Goreng pisang that is much sweeter and crisper. Shiok!

Available from 14-20 Oct
.
Earthy richness of hand-harvested ceremonial-grade matcha, perfectly balanced with a molten, creamy core
.
Overall, each bite was an indulgent journey into the tranquil flavours of matcha perfection

Pineapple jam with tonic water & espresso; bitter sweet taste with citrusy note; refreshing & unique..

Cake is soft & moist; filled with cream & genmaicha paste; topped with fresh peach; taste nothing special but would prefer more peach to go with it..

Sourdough is soft at centre with flaky & crispy crust outside; topped with a layer of soft spinach & crunchy mushroom; chicken fillet is tender; cream sauce is tad too rich for my liking; came with a green lemon wedge to cut through the richness of the sauce..

Butter brioche is soft & fluffy; came with a spring onion scrambled egg; sesame chicken is fragrant & tasted homely, with canned button mushroom; served with fresh garden greens at the side..

($5.95) (after 30% discount) I kinda regretted no adding sugar and taste like grassy texture lol. but then I managed to try their non-coffee series (except milky mint).

Gifted 2 slices of Elijah pies recently and it exceeded our expectations! Even my 91 yo Mom loved it! So it must be good 👍

Indulge in the plain croissant from Croissand Cafe, where every bite offers a delightfully flaky exterior and an airy interior, all for just $4.50.

Mama Wee Hainanese “Kou Rou” Set ($11.80) comes with braised pork belly, your choice of vegetables (Hainanese Stewed Vegetables or Heavenly Four), your choice of egg (Fried Egg or Long Bean Omelette) and rice.

The pork belly is soft and savoury, and it goes very well with the rice drenched in a rich curry. The Heavenly Four consists of eggplant, long bean, lotus root and tofu stir fried in a fragrant and slightly spicy sauce - this is surprisingly tasty!

Overall, the portion is generous and I enjoyed this more than I expected - what a hearty meal!
