Crown Bakery and Cafe is yet another cafe that had recently opened in the area, though it is located a distance away from where most are situated.

Shizouka Matcha Brioche

One of my dining partners wanted to try their Brioche, which we settled for the Shizouka Matcha Brioche.

Makes for a good light bite for the tea-time treat, and would definitely be a hit amongst Matcha lovers.

Crown Breakfast is a big breakfast platter that consists of bacon, cheese sausage, sauteed mushrooms, mesculun salad, braised oxtail, tomato and a Crown Puff Pastry that features an egg in the middle.

Earl Grey Pear Bread Pudding

A rather innovative dish, the Earl Grey Pear Bread Pudding could be however rather controversial to some.

In between lies the poached pear; soft yet retained its crunch. The first few mouthfuls can be rather awkward tasting, but this is one dessert that takes a while to get used to. Eventually my shameless self got the better of me as I ended up taking almost the entire portion of it that belongs to my dining partner.
