The French American Bakery
What makes The French American Bakery Française, yet coevally Yanqui doodle dandy? Simple, for it's messianic about riffing on French quelque-choses and Americanesque sweet affectations alike: croissants, brioches, danishes, cookies/brookies, loaf cakes, you name it. Fondée depuis 7 August 2021 by Siti Aishah, a trained pâtissier who had heretofore stinted at Raffles Hotel, Les Amis Group's (now sleeping with the fishes) Canelé Pâtisserie as well as At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy, this Muslim-friendly fournil pertinaciously eschews either alcohol or gelatin, nevertheless fetishizing premium demi-sel butters from Président and Lescure.
Be apprised The French American Bakery's existing quartet of boutiques — Haji Lane flagship included — does strictly takeaway only.
What knocked our socks off:
The fanciable pompadour of an Almond Croissant was every bit worth augering into - bien beurré, ultra-flaky, prima donnaed with some schmick crème d'amande. Then again, absolute praise must go to the Kouign-Amann, possibly the apotheosis of all kouign-amanns we'd tried till date. Ascribed one lurid Bordeaux red, said Breton pastry simultaneously feated untrammelled candiedness, galactically chewy-crisp plus just the right degree of suety.
Almond Croissant ($5.90)
Kouign-Amann ($5.20)
In comparison, the draggletailed guttersnipe that's the Chocolate Coffee Roll felt (kinda) stilted initially; even so a lasting rich, onctueux cocoa cum espresso penetralia later got us backpedalling.
Chocolate Coffee Roll ($4.80)
Other item(s) sampled but turned out to be non-event(s):
Strawberry Cream Danish ($6.80)
