The bakery chef, located in bukit merah central, serves
waffles, cakes, soft serves and their signatures toast. The toasts ran out of stock easily. Upon cutting
the thick toast of bread, you can observe the lava within ooze out immediately.
The café was generally small and compact with some
tables outside of the store to accommodate more diners. Upon entering, you will
be greeted with a huge chalk board indicating the menu of the shop.
If you are not tempted by the food menu, one can choose
from the cake display or purchase their specialty – Bread Toast.
We decided to order a few items to try such as the
thick toast, rainbow cake, rainbow Caramel guilt and blue salted caramel soft
serve.
For the price of $12.80, you get a choice of toast
(charcoal, brioche or matcha), fillings (salted egg, Nutella or matcha) and a scoop
of ice cream (chocolate, vanilla or matcha). We have chosen two toast to try to spot the taste
difference. The first order was brioche toast together with nutella lava and
matcha ice cream while the other order is charcoal toast with salted egg yolk
lava and vanilla ice cream.
The brioche toast was actually a form of french toast.
We could taste the buttery taste of the thick toast. It was really buttery and
crispy. Upon bitting, the inner core of the bread was fluffy and soft. Oh ya, I
forget to mention that I love cutting the toast. This is because the moment you
cut the toast, the lava gushed out. The
nutella lava was really smooth and rich. The café was really generous with the
lava filling.

Generally for the charcoal bread, it was crispy but I found
the bread very bland. But I guess it was ok as it was meant to accompany the
sweet-savory salted egg yolk lava within. The salted egg yolk lava was flowly
and a little grainy.
Another hot favourite was the blue sea salt soft serve.
It was really pretty and yummy as well. The salted caramel taste was just nice
not to make you too sick of eating it.

Rainbow Caramel guilt has a pretty appearance
with layers of fluffy moist rainbow cakes topped with droplets of caramel cream.
We love the texture of the cakes. Within the cakes, it also contains a caramel
core. As we are not a fan of too sweet food, we find it a little too rich and
sweet.

With the same square shaped design, the rainbow cake was another pretty cake that drew my attention. The colours of the raimbow cakes tend to be brighter and pretty. The sponge cakes were layered with cream making it moist and fluffy. This suit my taste better as it was less sweet as compared to the rainbow caramel guilt.
All in all, the cakes and desserts served here were
great. But my favourite was definitely the lava toast. I would suggest that you
visit café earlier in the day as we have several failed attempted visiting the café
was it closed earlier than the operating hours as more of their food were sold
out.
