Baker and Cook

Yet another (relatively) new bakery popping up at the residential estates of Hillcrest. It's been much hyped about its bread so I decided to drop by to check it out. One thing to note, parking is horrible around the area. Partly due to the fact that it's within the residential estates. 

It was surprisingly not as crowded as I was expecting it to be on a Sunday afternoon. 

Salmon benedict ($16.95)

Presentation was top notch. Eggs were also perfectly poached. However, felt that it was only mediocre. 

Eggs Mayo Tartines ($12.95)

Very simple dish served on its signature Pain Miche bread. The egg mayo had a very strong mixed of onions within which totally puts me off. Bread base was also too tough for the knife. Barely could finish one. 

Lemon tart ($5.00)

This was the savour of the day. One of the best lemon tart I've had. Refreshing yet not overly sour or sweet. It was a delight and we polished it off within bites. 

The last I heard about this place is that it only serves takeaway now. 

Might head back again for their tarts but definitely not for the food.
