Finally I am trying out the Chocolate Croissant from Tiong Bahru Bakery. There has been alot of raving reviews about how good the croissant is. But at price of $3.60, I always feel it is quite expensive. Furthermore, I am not a fan of chocolate. Today while thinking what to buy at the counter, I notice this tray of freshly baked chocolate croissants, so decide to get a piece.

Looking through the finest selection of bakery on display, we decided on their Specialty Ham & Cheese Bun,
Chocolate Almond Croissant and the widely acclaimed Caramelized Salted Butter Croissant! The Specialty Bun was
pretty filling, served with a sumptuous vegatables and tasty ham topped it off with cheese. The Chocolate Almond
Croissant was my favourite as the crispy crush on the outside and the chocolate inside makes it very nice. The
Caramelized Salted Butter Croissant blends the sweetness of caramel and the butter very well, leaving sugary
salted aftertaste. Definitely one of the best bakery in town now!

A place that keeps popping up when I speak of crossiants and pastries, I've heard quite alot of great reviews from this new establishment hidden in the well-known Tiong Bahru district.

First panel, plenty of pastries to choose from. Second panel had the different types of sandwiches and third was the various cakes/tarts.

Interesting representation of their drinks menu, though there should perhaps be a legend if the colours or patterns were to make some sense to a noob like me.

I've heard that this is the best in Singapore, which made me rather critical. First bite left me a tad impressed as it was still crispy after leaving it out for at least 5 hours. It had a buttery aroma to it and I liked the complement of its soft interior and the crispy flakes outside. However, I thought it was abit too rich in flavour and too oily for my liking, perhaps an overdose of butter used. First few bites were good, until the strong taste became a little overwhelming for me. Perhaps this is better than most croissants you can get off chain bakeries, but it's definitely not the best to me.

Pronounced as kween-ahmon, this is a french pastry with layers of butter and sugar. (okay, I didn't know it was so fattening until I google-d it) It didn't occur to me when I was told that this was a caramel pastry. I liked the outer layers where the golden crust was crispy and sweet, and you could taste the different layers of dough folded together. It was just the right amount of sweetness for us and we thought it was quite nicely done for a seemingly simple pastry. The insides, however, was a little disappointing as the whit-ish parts tasted like sweetened thin layers of roti prata folded together. Overpriced for a pastry of just dough and melted sugar, I feel.

Perhaps it's just me, I don't usually fancy soft crossiants. I didn't like how the entire piece seems to be falling apart as I held it up and it didn't have the crispy flaky parts of a crossiant. Taste-wise, the almond fillings over-shadowed the chocolate and it was too sweet for my liking. It would have been better if there was a balance of chocolate and just moderately sweet almond cream.

Lemon Tart ($6)

The crust was too thick and so hard that I found it difficult to eat without making a mess from several attempts of cutting it. It wasn't the crumbly type and its texture was quite like butter shortbread, less the buttery taste of it. Some recipes recommend that, but this wasn't quite to my liking. The lemon cream filling had a nice refreshing taste of lime in it and wasn't too sour that it made your nose cringe. It would have been perfect if the tart was made of crumbly biscuits, but that's just my preference.

Pandan Flan ($6)

This was my very first taste of flan, not an expert in it so I shall just base it on what my taste buds think of it. There are various interpretations of flan, but mostly involving custard as its main ingredient. Honestly, before doing a google search, I thought it was supposed to taste like Kaya Kueh. (My mum actually compared it to the Malay Kueh stall at the market that sells it for just 40cents
) It has a very slight chewy texture to it, not at all the soft custard that I've read about online. It didn't have the pandan aroma to it, probably substituted by the Kaya used in its mix. The crust was quite disappointing too, as it was all soft and lacked the crisp to complement the soft texture of the flan.

I haven't been to the original store and I'm just basing my review on the Raffles City branch I've tried. According to them, the same dough has been prepared over at Eng Hoon Street and then brought over to be baked and sculpted by their chefs over here. I presume there should be a minimum level of standard maintained.

I thought this was a rather overrated bakery. Some of their pastries might taste better than your normal bakery finds, but it definitely doesn't deserve the title of being the best. (I still swear by Maison Kayser for being the best I've tried so far) It was quite an average bakery store, over-hyped and overpriced. I thought it was quite disappointing actually. Some of the pastries at Raffles City also cost abit more than the same items at their original store. Not worth making a special trip down for their bakes, but quite a decent bakery if you're craving for some around Raffles City area.

I don't want to eat too much so i just stick to one pastry and coffee. I chose the kouign amann and hot mocha.

The pastry is so yummy! My very first time trying this, it seems a tiny weeny bit too crispy and hard but still manageable. I love this so much cause it's loaded with layers of butter, sugar and caramel. Sinful but so good!

My mocha was done pretty well too! Just nice without being too sweet. They even did a very nice swan coffee art on it. This meal easily cost me about $10 for it but i still be back once in a while if i'm around the area and want to stop for a break to rest my legs =)

Their butter croissant is strongly recommended by a good friend. I tried and enjoyed it too. The texture is soft and fluffy with a strong butter taste. It did not taste too sweet. The size is quite big for $2.50. The taste is worth the price. Two croissants are enough for lunch. The best is to go with their cuppuccino. I can have it for lunch or tea break. I want to try the rest too.

We headed to TBB for lunch but we ordered only 4 items, probably because we were still full from our breakfast. Having been to the outlet at Tiong Bahru, this outlet feels different, the number of seats is probably more than the TB one and also seems to have more pastries as well.We ordered the Pesto bun ($8.5, salmon squid ink bun), Mozza and Ham Focacaia ($8), Fruit tart ($8.5) and chocolate mediant ($6.50). I still prefer the apple crumble I had the other time!! I didn’t know what to order so

I didn’t know what to order so the the staff recommended me a pizza like bread but it tasted pretty normal though, except that it’s quite big and the rocket leaves were nice! The fruit tart was very refreshing from the 3 other pastries that were more strong in their flavours. The chocolate mediant was really really chocolatey (very good for chocolate lovers). One of my friend picked the salmon squid ink bun, I guess it’s because of the salmon and she really likes salmon alot! I would say that one isn’t too bad, even for a non-salmon lover like me. But the bun was dyed with squid ink tasted abit hard and dry? Not like the burger kind of soft.

Tiong bahru bakery has really good pastries and breads. I particularly enjoy their almond croissant. I always get the one that has chocolate in it too! The croissant is substantial and very delicious. A chocolate croissant is split and filled with delicious almond paste which has a nutty buttery flavour. On top of that the whole thing is dusted with lots of icing sugar which makes it look appealing and adds some sweetness to the already sweet pastry.

Tiong bahru bakery sells very nice pastries. This was my first time trying a kough amann and it's not my new favorite pastry! The buttery spiral shaped pastry is super crisp on the outside while the inner part of the pastry is flaky an soft. The whole thing has a good caramelized taste from the use of copious amounts of sugar and butter. Unhealthy but so delicious!

Had a really good experience at the Tiong Bahru's branch and was quite glad that they opened one at Raffles City as Tiong Bahru is not that accessible. Perhaps i have already set a high standard of the pastries - the famous croissant at this branch is not as good as Tiong Bahru's. The price is more expensive too. Thought that i will give other pastries a try, but unfortunately, it is not as good as the ones at Tiong Bahru. Disappointing. Perhaps the money is going towards the decor instead.

So since I was at the area, and seeing that their usual looong q seems to be short at that particular hour, I got their signature Croissant Almonds.

Loved it! Never had such crossaint thats is chewy! It is soft though and you can taste the layers of almond paste and a bit of rum! Its really on a class on its own. Although its pricier than any other crossaint, but trust me, @ $3.20 per piece, its really worth it.

Im definitely making return trips to this bakey. Im really excited to try on more of their pastry that they offer... next up is their Kouign Aman and Lemon Tart!

Time for my favourite bread. Yum Yum. I dropped by Tiong Bahru Bakery at Raffles City on the way home.Kouign Aman ($3.50)My all-time favourite with its super sweet and crunchy crust. I like to eat it by peeling layer by layer, which I feel can enjoy it more.Almond Brioche ($3.00)The bottom tastes a bit burnt and bitter. A letdown for me. I only like the soft almond filling inside.

Tiong bahru bakery at raffles place is a nice place for a quick brunch or lunch. The last timeI visited I ordered a pumpkin soup. The soup came with two slices of bread which were not to my liking however when dipped in the soup they were still acceptable. The soup itself however was really tasty and flavorful. Within the soup were two large prawns which were really nice to eat being crunchy and fresh

I was in the Raffles Shopping Centre with a friend, shopping. My friend was thinking of buying some bread. And I thought of this place. There are samples for one to test at the counter. Had a hard time deciding what to buy.The cute paperbag.Just got the sugar version of brioche (small size) for $10. Deep yellow inside, with small cubes of sugar on top. Soft and tasty, without any need for spread on the plain bread.

Everything is self-service here. There are jugs of plain water for you to take (near the utensils) if you want to. There are quite a number of variety of breads to choose from. The charcoal salmon bun is quite yummy because I love smoked salmon! The dressing of the salad is average though. It is a nice place to sit down and have a tea-break. Queue can be quite long during peak-hours.
