Bakerzin @ Tampines 1 with Ms Quek
Being Bishan-er working in Bukit Timah, I finally had a chance to go to Tampines 1 today! Didn't look around too much, but mainly spent most of the time dinnering with Jerm at Bakerzin!
This is my first time at Bakerzin actually eating food. I have had cake there before (Lavenda Chocolate cake) and coffee (their coffee was damned good e last time I tried a few years back), but I've never had food.
I think the pictures will speak for themselves first.
Wonderful, unlimited bread. Much better than Cartel bread. The cranberries were wonderfully tangy and sweet. And the ciabatta goes SO well with the soup. Perfect combination.
Jerm lusting after the pennes. I meant penne. Aiya, the pasta la. What you thinking about!?
My spaghetti with poached egg and ham. And best of all, Hazelnut Butter!! I've never tasted anything like it before, but it was certainly good stuff!! The Hazelnut Butter added another dimension to the flavour of the pasta besides just the usual olive oil, salt and garlic, but I think the ham and the egg were a little bland.
Beautifully done baked chicken wings. Seriously, the best I've eaten. I want to learn to make this. It tastes wonderfully Asian-flavoured, but yet not the oily fried chicken that we Asians are so used to.
Gorgeous warm chocolate cake with berries, orange confit and vanilla ice-cream. Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Orgasmic. Poke into the cake and the warm liquid chocolate inside flows/ gushes out. You tell me, is that orgasmic or what??
I must say, Bakerzin has done a really good job expanding from a cafe specialising in cakes to a full-fledged restaurant. It's set meal prices, offer of classier range of breads like the cranberry bread, quality coffee has helped it to tread the fine line between the more expensive restaurant and one a typical professional/ executive would go to for dinner on a Friday night after a long week.
Food's a wonderful tweak from the usual pastas and entrees we get at other places and it makes eating there a unique experience, but still the flavours match well. And the freshness and quality of ingredients is definitely there. I would so go again. Plenty of chances.
Thanks Jerm for dinner!! :)
