Flaaah The Bakery

Unclaimed

Stopped by Flaaah @ Gardens Mall after lunch with friends. First visit there. Nice place for chit chat over pastries and coffee. The almond croissant was good. Blueberry tart too! Very much prefer that the hot coffee is served in proper cups/mugs, not paper cups for better dining experience.

Place was a bit too minimalistic to dine in for my liking. Croissant was okay, blueberry tart was nice, but the honey toast and kouign aman were a bit sweeter than what we were expecting. And yeah the chairs are uncomfortable and the table is oddly sticky ...

I stayed at the four points wanted to find somewhere for breakfast and came across this which is just in the same building. So glad to have passed by on a Tuesday morning the promotion for the day was buy 2 get 1 free so I considered myself lucky to be there at the right time. There were no customers when I visited so I had the whole place literally all by myself. Had a look at the display and everything looked so interesting that made me want to try everything. Decided to stick to 3 so I asked the staff for some recommendations. They told me the almond croissant was the signature so I ordered, and I would usually order something sour whenever I see one and I got the lemon meringue tart. Finally asked for a savoury recommendation and was asked to try the mushroom gouda and egg. Also ordered a mint chocolate drink to go along with the pastries. First had the mint chocolate, tasted not bad but would have loved more mint in it. The chocolate should be pretty dark as could taste a tinge of bitterness but it was good. Then I started with the pastries first having the savoury one. The mushroom and egg is a good combination which I liked, it tastes decent but the more I ate the more it felt like a quiche to me. The lemon meringue tart was good, the best among the 3. I loved the sourness and was a slight kick for a wake me up and the loved the freshness of it. Meringue was good and not overly sweet. I had high expectations for the almond croissant but turned out to be disappointing. Couldn't really taste much of the almond except for those sprinkled at the top. It was pretty generous. However the cream inside was more of like custard so kinda got a wrong name for it, just calling it an almond croissant is like giving false hopes. Not a bad place with pastries, would like to visit again to try some others. Price wise would not be reasonable if not for the free item. Also the tables needed a bit of more cleaning as it was quite sticky for the one I was at. 2 outdoor tables available as well if you like to sit outside.

I order an apple crumble latte with a Gouda mushroom pastry. The pastry was good but the latte was confusing. I asked if I could get the coffee without sugar and the lady said they could make it without sugar. My Apple Crumble Latte didn’t have any Crumble…. It was just like a green apple juice with latte which made my coffee very watered down and tasted wierd. I guess it was my own oofness but “crumble” is made from flour butter and Sugar. But what I meant was I didn’t want any sugar / apple syrup added into the coffee… but of course I’d still want the crumble else why would I order it. Dots. Oh wells. Would I go back? Not sure yet.

Stopped by Flaaah Bakery @The Gardens Mall in the afternoon. We had the tomato soup, soft cream with cookie and croissant. It would be nice if the soup came with some bread eg. Focaccia, instead of pastry. Love the soft cream which was creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. Chocolate chip cookie was so yummy… My son had a field day. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice ambience too.
