Bakerz@Work (Macpherson)

Passing this bakery cum cafe by chance, I decided that a visit was mandatory. Bakerz@Work does not look like much on the outside. Furthermore, it is a hidden gem situated at an industrial area, so not many people would actually realise that yes, there IS a little cafe in operation here.What is more interesting is that this is a retail shop selling baking ware and ingredients.

What is more interesting is that this is a retail shop selling baking ware and ingredients. They also conduct baking classes (in fact, that is the main core / gist of their business). And then they have a little gourmet area for people like me to try the ready-baked pastries. The concept here is FRESHNESS.

We had the Sacher Cake (SGD$5.90), explained to us to be a Austrian dessert. Some may know it as a sacher-torte cake, invented in the 1800s by a chef apprentice at Prince Metternich's Court, and has since been the world's most famous chocolate cake.

A deceptively simple looking chocolate dessert, this cake consists of some salt and icing as well. The Sacher Cake was luscious in flavor, a little like the "salted chocolate cakes" that are so popular today; the solid and firm texture melts readily in the mouth. The icing on the cake was exactly that - the saccharine teether was a bonus for me, adding on to the pleasure of eating this original creation.

Also tried the Lemon Meringue Tart (SGD$3.90) with its buttery crust and refreshing citrusy lemon curd. The crust was a little soft for my liking - might have been lovelier if there was more crunch to it. The lemon curd was the right degree of sweet-sour blend, and using meringue (in lieu of cream) on the tart was certainly a rather innovative move. The gentle sweetness of the meringue complemented the flavor of the tart beautifully.

Nice cosy place near Macpherson. The staff here provides good service and the price is very reasonable. They have a cooking workshop just next to the cafe (connected). They also sell baking stuff in the shop as well. Having a cup of coffee and a small piece of cake to go with it is a pure joy. We saw the table next to us having a nice sandwich and salad too. We are too full to try but for sure, with the good service here, we will drop by again next time to try some of their other offerings.
