This is my third visit to Kokomama and they have a slightly upgraded menu. With all the salted egg croissant craze, Kokomama has quickly come up with their own rendition of a salted egg croissant as well as other baked main courses. Their location, in Dhoby Ghaut, makes it very easy to locate and they also have a strong human traffic cross flow. Their prices are nett price and very affordable for the huge student population that surrounds Kokomama.Right next to the cashier, you will notice their
This is my third visit to Kokomama and they have a slightly upgraded menu. With all the salted egg croissant craze, Kokomama has quickly come up with their own rendition of a salted egg croissant as well as other baked main courses. Their location, in Dhoby Ghaut, makes it very easy to locate and they also have a strong human traffic cross flow. Their prices are nett price and very affordable for the huge student population that surrounds Kokomama.
Right next to the cashier, you will notice their array of baked goods. Lots of croissants, both savoury and sweet. The pizzas are also laid out here.1. Chilli Crab Pizza $7.90
This was a new item on the menu. It looked pretty big for one person and even when sliced in half. It was very filling for me. The crab meat was mainly crab stick, which was disappointing, but the cheese was so good. It was sinful, but it was melted and the texture was consistent throughout the entire pizza.
I must say, Kokomama did inherit some A grade ovens from the previous tenant, 3 petiti croissants. All their baked items all come out good results. I couldn't really taste the chilli crab and it really wasn't spicy. What threw me off slightly was the crust of the pizza. The entire base of the pizza seemed to be one giant slab of bread. The crust of the bread was crisp all over the edges and even in the center, it was hard as a huge biscuit.The staff also forgot my order of pizza, until about 30 minutes later when I went up to the counter to ask for it and then they apologized for their mistake.
2. Salted Egg Croissant $6.50
I've tried other salted egg croissants and this is the first salted egg croissant I've tried whereby the salted egg was very pale in yellow. It tasted very buttery as well. The croissant stayed crisp despite an overly long photo taking session.The salted egg taste wasn't evident enough for me. The croissant was buttery and flaky but it didn't have enough layers to make me want to come back for more. The salted egg croissant didn't flow as much as I had expected either. It took some "persuasion" to get the salted egg to flow out. The salted egg sauce wasn't over whelmingly sweet which was good for me. But it quickly became gerlat for me and I highly recommend you to share this, if this is your first time trying a salted egg croissant.
3. Baked Seafood Rice
I've tried a few baked rice dishes here at Kokomama and all of them were okay in my opinion. The cheese was what made me like them and order them again, but the ingredients were lacking. The seafood baked rice was one of their pricier options. Ingreidents included a ring of squid, crab meat and a clam. The ingredients weren't marinated as such, they tasted bland. The rice didn't have any sauce to it, so underneath the layer of melted cheese, sat a bed of white rice. Luckily, the staff offered us saucers of minced beef pasta sauces which I quickly spooned together with the rice! Overall : An easy to get to location, with simple comfort food at affordable prices
