And so, I had breakfast with my mother last Saturday! Managed to drag her to Starbucks with me, cos i really wanted her to try the walnut cranberry bread which is REALLY GOOD, surprisingly. (sorry didn’t take pics don’t know why!) I know some of you must be thinking… Starbucks? Good pastries? Yes, it’s actually good. The breads they serve are not hard, dry and therefore chewy, as I thought most mass produced ones are!
I love breads, so does my mom. And Starbucks, got to be one of the better ones! It looks hard, but boy, after it’s toasted, it’s a nice thin crisp layer encasing a super light, soft, stretchy and chewy (in a good way) interior. Lots of walnuts inside, and just the right amount of cranberries. Good with jam/cream cheese. Gotta try it!
Then again, personal pref, I may be exaggerating to ya!
And I asked the guy to recommend me something else, and so I got the house special - Cinnamon Raisin Crown Roll. Texture is much like the light, stretchy and chewy walnut bread. Good also! Not too sweet, except I would prefer a stronger cinnamon taste! Still, worth your money! Way way better than Simply bread’s hard Cinnamon rolls, which I never really was fond of.
Surpirsingly good! Nowadays, when I feel extravagant, you might find me at starbucks having breakfast/tea. Not a good habit… but… well… Once in a while!!
Ever since the June Holidays, I really enjoy not waking up at unearthly hours, but neither do I enjoy waking up that late… Wastes my day away… But I’m just too tired to get up!
I headed to Koufu as I was craving the good old toast set at Koufu (PicknBite’s parent). But it was almost lunch time already… Aiyah.. Love their soft bun. But this is the french loaf toast. I like it for being tough and thus chewy, but it is not hard and dry. Note the difference man! I love biting into the thin, crusty exterior and ripping it away from my mouth.. ahha sounds rather uncouth. :S I think Koufu makes their own Soft bun and french loaf, the bread itself is quite tasty too!
Their kaya is also one of it’s kind. More of the greenish variety, much like killiney, just nicer and less cloggy/phlegm-y (?). One similar brand is the unrivalled Feng Yit brand, which sells only at NTUC and is more ex.
Hmm.. I’m back to my hunt for good breakfast places, sitting down to read, relax and enjoy the morning! ", It’s good, but I won’t have much time for that left! (I need to STOP WAKING UP SO LATE THOUGH!) AH, need to hurry along, go to Amoy, Maxwell, the East, and much more!! Heh heh..
