The Whole Kitchen (Katong)

Nice place

Opening their first bakery cafe in Odeon Building along East Coast Road, this gluten-free bakery crafts freshly baked goods daily, made full of flavour and with natural goodness. immerse yourself in the chill atmosphere and share the $20 Set with a friend, which comes with a choice of 2 muffins/cakes and paired with 2 coffee/tea. At $6.60 per slice, soak in the zesty and nutty goodness with their Lemon Pistachio cake, paired with herbal teas or load up on the richness of their Chocolate Peanut Butter cake, which goes perfect with a cup of Long Black ($5).

Fast becoming one of my favourite food spots, totally takes me back to my time in Australia and New Zealand with the quality of food and friendly staff.

The avocado toast was executed perfectly! A dish I typically stay away from when I’m eating out (“can make at home what!”), but this one I’d happily pay for. Avocado was fresh, seasoned to absolute perfection, and on a seedy not-too-dense sourdough which is baked in-house. The side salad and sauerkraut provided a lovely element of zingy acidity and texture (+ extra health).

Also ordered a single-shot almond milk cappuccino which I adored! It was silky smooth, light-medium roast, a rounded chocolatey-ness without much acidity. I love that they carry Milk Lab which does the creamiest almond milk I’ve come across to date.

The staff are all just the cherry on top - sunshiny attitudes that make you feel right at home!

Grilled cheese toast; toast is very crispy yet not dry; not overly cheesy taste; no truffle taste; pickled cucumbers are very sour & aids in reducing the jelatness; with lightly salted fresh greens at the side..

Buns are soft & fluffy; with smoked salmon & creamy avocado chunks; pickled red cabbage is sour & appetising; with lightly salted fresh & crunchy greens..

Weekends are for redemptions of burpple beyond tea time deals when I see them. I vaguely recall seeing the whole kitchen’s produce at some grocery store but this would have to be my first time at a cafe offshoot of the brand.
For the healthy conscious, the menu is gluten free (something I’ve yet to figure the exact meaning of). My cakes came with very low sugar content and choke full of healthy ingredients (nuts, dark cocao and chocolate). My spoilt, used to sugar laden desserts, palate was not used to these healthier cakes; reminding me how I should be keeping my sugar intake in check 😬
