We dropped by Jurong Point for brunch on the cheap after early am birdwatching. Jurong Point is always crowded and the cafe was full. The crew was nice and let us take our own sweet time to decide what to order. We've always liked Delifrance's croissants, quiches, fruit tarts and frappes, but this French bakery chain has now been eclipsed by the ubiquitous American Subway chain of sandwich shop. Today we rediscovered the joys of munching on a buttery, crispy, flaky croissant filled with creamy
We dropped by Jurong Point for brunch on the cheap after early am birdwatching. Jurong Point is always crowded and the cafe was full. The crew was nice and let us take our own sweet time to decide what to order. We've always liked Delifrance's croissants, quiches, fruit tarts and frappes, but this French bakery chain has now been eclipsed by the ubiquitous American Subway chain of sandwich shop. Today we rediscovered the joys of munching on a buttery, crispy, flaky croissant filled with creamy, yummy chicken mayo filling. The tuna mayo filling was good too but was a little too peppery for our liking. At $6.80 each, these cost a bit more than Subway's $5.90 melts but biting into parmesan oregano bread or honey oat bread will never be as blissful as a mouthful of buttery croissant. We could do with more salad than just the iceberg lettuce and sliced tomatoes in our croissants, but we prefer more meat/tuna filling to lots of veg anyday. Now what's an American favorite like cupcakes doing in a French bakery? Delifrance has given in to commercial pressure and added cupcakes to its repertoire. We passed our favourite chocolate frappes and picked the generously sized and enticingly frosted cupcakes instead. $3.50 each or $5.60 for a pair. It had to be the sinful looking double choc cupcakes for us. Delifrance makes the most underrated cupcakes in SG! Every bite of the cupcake was sheer bliss, especially the bittersweet intense cocoa flavour. We bought two so at $2.80 a pop, the cupcake should give 'Twelve Cupcakes' a good run for the money.
