Awesome Mini Breads!

there is just something alluring about mini things. the UOB visa mini, the mini cooper, mini magnums, mini cornettos, mini peanut butter cups and the list just goes on and on



well, the mini selection of breads at various bakeries are definitely making the raves. Bakeries like Four Leaves, Bread Talk and Sun Moulin have all tapped into this HUGE demand for mini breads and decided to satiate the desire of the public for these so cute mini things. Perhaps its the thought that you can buy more without having to gauge yourselves out. Perhaps its just that these breads look much more appetising and inviting when they are so small and harmless. At 5 pieces for $2.80, it is so easy for one to pile up 10 pieces on that tray, that tray that seems so empty if just one small item is placed on it.

I've tried various flavours, and man they are addictive! The sweet and savoury mini croissants from Four Leaves taste like little drops of heaven. I was in love with the sweet potato croissant. A thick paste of Japanese sweet potato wedged inside the squarish croissant. Unfortunately it was discontinued due to poor response? :(

Anyway, I tried the blueberry, strawberry, choco and nut and ham and cheese croissants. The layers of sweet croissant are laced with sugar syrup which made it extra flaky and crispy. The fillings are of the right amount, and when bitten into half the filling oozes out and it just tastes awesome! Mine would taste extra better though, I brought them home, gave them a slight toast in the oven, and made them that more crispy, the filling that more oozy.

The ham and cheese croissant was not disappointing either. I expected it to have just a small slice of ham wedged in between. It was not the case however. The ham was rolled in together with the croissant, and every bite of it was bursting with the flavour of ham and melted cheese.

Go explore the other flavours! There are plenty to be adventurous with. This is great to step out of the ham and cheese/sausage bun routine, and try other flavours. With these mini breads, you can experiment without much costs incurred. If it tastes bad, just dump it out!

Awesome Breads! - Apple Galaxy at Bread Talk

hehe. I'm glad I managed to try more breads this week. :)

Well - everytime I walk past Bread Talk Silver located at the basement of Paragon Shopping Centre, I'd make it a point to step in, just to take in the fragrant smell of the newly-baked breads, and entice myself with the myriad of varieties available out there. This outlet sells breads different from its regular outlets, infusing a mix of unique ingredients to cater to the taste buds of their patrons!

Apple Galaxy

I saw picked up the Apple Galaxy - what can possibly go wrong with anythng apple? It is similar to the Applewerm available at the regular Breadtalk, just this is without the sugar coating. It is also "designed" to look like a galaxy, with rich caramel-brown swirls encircling this round-shaped bread, topping off with a star-shaped apple slice.

Its fillings are obviously apples, but they added some extra flavour with the use of raisins. The end result - a delicious yet wholesome bread that I believe will become a favourite with the young and old alike.

Awesome Breads: Blueberry Fluff from Bread Talk

I was at Citylink yesterday night after a game of pool and what better place to visit then Bread Talk?

This branch is different compared to other outlets in Singapore. They have different varieties of bread which other outlets do not have! ok, lets not compare to Bread Talk Silver at Paragon - that is a story for another time.

Some breads that are uniquely theirs are like this awesome Blueberry Fluff that I tried yesterday. Retailed at $1.10, it is truly worth the money, and whatever calories contains. True to its name "fluff", the bread is amazingly soft, and accompanying this texture is its milky, custardy taste. The blueberry filling adds the finishing touch - its blueberry bursts are not too coyingly sweet, and tastes of wholesome goodness - do you know that blueberry is actually a negative-calorie food?

Negative-calorie means that while some fruits and vegetables have calories when consumed, become negative when digested. The energy needed to digest is more then the calories they contain.

Well, though the blueberry filling has been tampered with sugar, making it not negative-calorie anymore, it is still superior to eating whole breads of custard cream cheese or chocolate cream.

What was meant for breakfast had been devoured on the spot - thus leaving my next-day breakfast options wide open.

Awesome Breads: Wassant from Provence

I love breads. I do not know why. Even though I can't bake, I can't help it but walk into any bakery that I pass by. I hope to intern in a bakery just to get close to these lovely carbohydrates!

Meanwhile, i gotta rave about the various breads I've tried. The wassant from Provence bakery has got to be one of my all-time favourite breads in the whole wide world! As and when I can, I'd head down to Holland V to purchase these cute swirly chocolate buns, and I can devour them in a second.

they are amazingly soft, not too sweet and filled with just the right amount of chocolatey goodness. These wassants come in just 2 flavours - chocolate and custard, but my personal fav is still the chocolate one. Another bread-lover friend of mine adores the custard one though, so there is no particular debate of which tastes better - both are equally awesome!

If you want to get your hands at these lovely wassants, head down to Holland V. its located near the foodcourt, opposite sub way and beside the newly open Marmalade Pantry. Remember though, if you want to ensure you can get your hands on these heavenly breads, always make a reservation. In this way, satisfaction is guaranteed. :)
