The Bread Rack (Serangoon)

Basically the bread platter but less bread but half price when you order ala carte. It's much more worth it to me

Sourdough was avg, even tho I tot the bacon leek one. It's just too mild
Honey wholewheat was alright

The nut butter was entirely solid but quite soft, not v sweet at all

Overall it's okay

Pastry cream inside, the exterior is extremely crispy and buttery while interior is fluffy, and the salted caramel is strong

Portion is quite tiny which is good but it's abit annoying how they only have one flavour at any one time? Or maybe I just went at a bad time

Quite a good rendition, incredibly crispy skin, there's some chew, and the molten choc was nice too. I think this is normal but the choc isn't too much

But what stole our hearts was the 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗖𝘂𝗯𝗲 ($6.50). Sweet, tangy pineapple mango cream oozed out seductively as the croissant cube was sliced apart, and the medley of flavours was exceptional.

The limited-time 𝗡𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗼 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁 ($6.50) is full of Chinese New Year vibes! The slices of crunchy yam on top of a slab of sticky nian gao, all sandwiched in a crispy, flakey croissant, offered excellent textural contrast.

The Butter Croissant and the Almond Croissant are two of the most popular items, so ordering one of the croissant sandwiches was a logical choice. If there are no eggs, it's not a good breakfast. Thus I picked the 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁.

The butter croissant was crispy outside and fluffy inside. Its buttery aroma was also very apparent, making it more palatable. The scrambled eggs were soft and creamy, its flavour enhanced by a dash of black pepper. This dish ticked all the boxes and I would definitely order it again.

The 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 ($5.50) was smooth and medium-bodied. If it's a little bit stronger, it would've been ideal. Bonus points go to the two tiny chocolate chip cookies served with the coffee. Crunchy and delicious, they balanced out the bitterness of the coffee.
