Maison Kayser is yet another Japanese inspired French bakery located at the basement of Scotts Square. There are seats in the basement for dine in customers, but be warned, you will be charged additional service and GST charges for lounging around with bread and coffee. So if you are on a budget and don't crave for coffee, go for takeaway. (Or head to the nearest Ya Kun for your coffee fix).

Perhaps there weren't many people when I visited, but the guy behind the counter was super nice to me. He offered to let me sample almost all the bread available and even explained the flavours and ingredients of each bread with great detail. At one point of time he even sliced up a new piece of bread, just so I could sample it. I felt somewhat obligated to buy something from him from that point.

BTW all the breads have french name and being the country bumpkin that I am, I couldn't really make out the names. I managed to try a couple of breads like Thé Orangé (with the french accents please. It's earl grey flavoured bread with orange rinds), Pain Aux Yuzu (moist bread with yuzu flavour). I'm actually very impressed by the nice citrus flavours of these breads and how incredibly moist and soft their insides are. I could imagine how well they would go with butter or truffle oil. (drools). I was also wowed by their Delice Blanc, a delightful soft bread infused with white chocolate flavour.

In the end, I decided to get Campagne Gorogonzola ($5.40) which combines walnut bits in an incredibly soft, fluffy bread with subtle blue cheese flavour. The blue cheese flavour isn't too overwhelming, I like that the taste of cheese comes through as you chew on the bread. When I ate the bread the next day, it didn't turn too hard and still retained a certain moist and softness.

I really like that the breads here are freshly baked and of high quality. I would come here to splurge on breads once in a while!

Located at the new Scott Square, this elegant bakery serves a wide range of good quality pastries, breads, sandwiches etc. All their products look so pretty and appetizing. Most importantly, freshly bake! I had the Croissant Aux Amande ($3.8). It is actually the traditional French almond croissant. The plain croissant is stuffed with flavourful almond cream, then dipped in light syrup and baked again to give a crispy texture. The slightly sweet taste is so satisfying too! Thumbs up! This pretty

This pretty looking dessert is Tarte Abricot Pistache ($5.6), which is the apricot tart with pistachio filling. The crust of the tart is yummy, and the apricot is sugary sweet! The combination is just superb.
