The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie is a new French bakery which specialises in viennoiserie—the ‘bridge’ between pâtisserie and French bread.

Located at 16 Hamilton Road, The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie joins the growing list of cafes and bakeries in the Lavender and Jalan Besar neighbourhoods. It will officially open to the public on 8 May 2022 at 11am.

The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie’s executive baker & owner, Elaine graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Tokyo and she worked in a French-Japanese bakery in Singapore before starting out The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie on her own.

The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie is a takeaway-only bakery without any dine-in area and they will be offering up to 13 types of Viennoiserie every day.

The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie’s Classic French Croissant is excellent. It is light and airy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Definitely one of the best croissants we’ve had in Singapore. We also love their Almond Croissant and Kouign-amann.

Other than the classics viennoiseries, The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie has also created some creative and unique pastries including the Fleur De Framboise (Raspberry Flower), Trio of C (comprises of cookie, cheesecake and croissant), La Brioche Macaronade, and Chocolate Crumble.

Prices range from S$3.80 for the classic croissant to S$6.50 for the Trio of C.

For those of you who cannot decide on what to order, The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie has two sets with their most popular offerings.

The Classic set features the most classic and popular viennoiserie such as:

• Plain croissant
• Almond Croissant
• Kouign Anman
• Escargot Au Raisin
• Pain Au Choc

The Maverick set, on the other hand, comes with The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie’s unique pastries including:

• Fleur De Framboise
• Trio of C
• La Brioche Macaronade
• Chocolate Crumble
• Quiche

Opened by the same team behind Glyph Supply Co, Dough Coffee is a new Korean-inspired bakery & coffee shop at CHIJMES. It is quite easily one of the nicest cafes in Singapore right now, and long queues can be seen daily.

We paid Dough Coffee a visit and it made us miss Seoul a little more than ever.

Dough Coffee makes their own bread, pastries and pasta in-house.

Other than the bread and pastries, it has a small and concise selection of All-Day Breakfast, Pasta and Mains including Breakfast Platter (S$28), Spicy Kimchi & Tomato Pasta (S$22), and Wagyu Burger (S$26).

Matcha Mochi (S$5) is a popular option and it is baked using premium ingredients including ceremonial-grade matcha, milk mochi, azuki, Japanese flour and AOP butter. Sadly, it sounds a lot better than it tasted.

The Kouign Amann (S$5), on the other hand, was totally worth the price tag. The buttery pastry that is lavishly sprinkled with powdered sugar was beautifully layered on the inside.

We can’t do without our Iced White (S$$6), especially when the weather has been so merciless. The espresso shot was nutty and had a nice bitter aftertaste to it, and we would definitely pick up another cup if we were in the vicinity.

Dessert aficionados, prepare your sweet tooths for a spanking new dessert spot in town on 21 October 2019, Monday!

Now Bakery stemmed from a common passion for fluffy, creamy roll cakes and they put plenty of love into each and every one their bakes. Each decadent roll cake is meticulously handcrafted using only the finest ingredients that are imported from Taiwan and Japan, so you know that you’ll only be getting the best roll cakes.

They have 3 different cake series with an extensive variety of flavours so even if you’re a picky eater, fret not as there is something for everyone!

In celebration of their new outlet at Capitol Piazza, they will be having an opening promotion from 21 October to 27 October 2019, where their roll cakes will be going for 50% off. Additionally, on 21 & 22 October 2019, they will be giving away 50 pieces of roll cakes for free from 11.30am onwards.

BLANCMANGE

Now Bakery’s Blancmange series features delicate and moist roll cakes that are each stuffed with Blancmange, a creamy milk pudding filling that has a smooth and light finish.

For those of you who enjoy the classics, we recommend that you get the Chocolate or Vanilla Blancmange cakes. Being chocolate fanatics, we absolutely adore the Chocolate Blancmange which is made with 75% cocoa. This provides the cake with a rich, chocolatey flavour that isn’t too cloying.

If you’re looking to try something a little more different, try their Sesame Blancmange cakes which are made from black sesame. The nuttiness of the sesame pairs well with the fluffiness of the roll cakes, creating a medley of flavours and textures that both the older and younger generation will love and appreciate.

An interesting flavour that will pique the interest of coffee lovers is the Gula Melaka Coffee Blancmange cakes. This classic flavour with a twist features a combination of saccharine Gula Melaka paired with aromatic premium coffee beans, producing a unique concoction that is surprisingly addictive!

Fans of matcha will be thrilled to know that there is also a Green Tea Red Bean Blancmange cake that is made using imported premium matcha powder and red bean. The earthiness of the matcha pairs pleasantly well with the sweetness of the red bean and we can see this becoming a hot favourite.

CLASSIQUE  

If you need some gift ideas for a loved one, we recommend that you get something from Now Bakery’s Classique series.

Made from a flourless recipe, their Classic Chocolate Classique cakes are incredibly rich and aromatic. They are also formulated with 75% cocoa, giving the cake just the right amount of sweetness without it being too overpowering.

The Almond Sesame Classique cake features a unique buttercream filling that is made from black sesame paste as well as almond. This winning nutty and earthy combination is definitely a treat to one’s palate!

Don’t miss out on the Almond Coffee Classique cake. Nutella is mixed with premium coffee and almonds, creating an interesting conglomeration of textures and flavours.

For something a little more old school, you can opt to get the Pandan Classique cake which is chock full of a decadent pandan filling that is made using Madagascar vanilla beans and pure pandan juice.

A savoury and unconventional option would be the Sushi Cake Roll. Here, ham, chicken floss and mayonnaise are wrapped in a layer of dense sponge cake and seaweed, creating a bizarrely good cake sushi roll that is a nice change from your regular rice sushi.
