Tucked in the quiet corner of Tiong Bahru is my regular hideout for me to satisfy my fruit tart craving. Located along Seng Poh Road, Drips Bakery is famous for their fruit tarts that people from across Singapore flock here to grab a slice of it.That's because, according to Chef Alfred, the master bakery behind Drips, he only bakes 60 tarts a day and once it is sold out, he won't be baking any more for the day.

That's because, according to Chef Alfred, the master bakery behind Drips, he only bakes 60 tarts a day and once it is sold out, he won't be baking any more for the day. Reason behind is that he only uses the freshest seasonal fruits available so not to compromise the quality of his tarts. Coming from a background from being the head patisserie chef behind Shangri-la Hotel and many years behind many other famous bakeries from around the world, I can understand why his insistence on using the best ingredients he can find.
First we ordered the Cherry Brandy Tart ($8) which at first glance, makes it so irresistible with the cherries nicely slice at the side with a jelly layer. We took a bite into it and we were surprise how crisp, buttery and fresh the crust was holding that decadent amount of toppings on it. The brandied cherries has a light tinge of sourness yet has a sweet after taste that complements the yummy crust. 2 thumbs up for this delicious goodness!
Overall, the I had a great tea time and I have to say that the quality of the fruit tarts lives up to the premium price it commands. Although it is not as magnificent looking as "Fruit Paradise", they do not use cheap, fatty cream to make it pretty and a lot of emphasis is on the quality control and freshly handmade by the chef every day. Nothing will be kept for the next day, making this a good value for artisan tarts.
Service was terrific as the cosy cafe is always kept clean, making it a great ambiance for diners to chill over wonderful fruit tarts that deserves to be praise. I'll be definitely coming back to Drips again to try some of their other seasonal fruit tarts!
