Finally, I had the time to cafe hop this long weekend!
What better place to go than to show our support to our friend from Two Bakers. We went there after the kids finish “waddling in the pool” and called my mum along. As the kids were so hungry, I forgot to take pictures of the food that we order. So I took some of the pictures from their Face book page.
If you didn’t take a second look, one would have missed this lovely cafe. I like anything that has to do with vintage retro and this was exactly how I felt when entering the cafe. I will definitely post more pictures for my second trip to the cafe.
With so many artisan bakery cafe opening up within the last few years, how is one going to distinguish herself from the rest?
Two Bakers is about 2 ladies who has a dream and passion to chase after what they believe in. One of the director cum bakery chef – Kristal traded a banking career in exchange for a chef suit after enrolling herself in Le Cordon Bleu Paris to learn all about French pastry. Le Cordon Bleu Paris is a world renowned network of educational institutions dedicated to providing the highest level of culinary and hospitality instruction through world class programs. She spend more than a year mastering her craft, honing her skills and she graduated as one of the top students in her class. I have not been to that many cafes who have chefs who are trained by Le Cordon Bleu. I think quality is what you can expect here if you are a lover of the French pastry and its desserts.
Smoked Salmon with sunny side up
The Hub ordered this and I think this is a dish that will not fail to delight if you are a fan of smoked salmon and croissant. The smoked salmon is fresh and the croissant is fluffy and it does not come across as being too dry. I always find that croissant are quite difficult to make and till date, the best croissant that I have ever tasted is in a bakery in Sandy Bay, Tasmania. Personally, I think the croissant can be a little bigger and it will be nicer to throw in some cherry tomatoes.
Two Bakers Champion Breakfast
This was shared between the kids and myself. This dish is a pretty standard affair with most cafes. How can one go wrong with sunny side up, sausages, bacon and bread? I like the wholemeal bread as it was not as hard as it looks like. But the portion can be a little bigger with perhaps two sausage and another slice of bread.
Banana French Toast
Both my kids like the fluffy toast and my mum commented that the bananas were sweet and she said “it must be really fresh” to be able to get such sweetness. Nothing to fanciful but it did capture my boy’s attention enough for him to gobble up all the bananas.
Matcha Puff
If it is your first visit and you do not mind cream puff, I recommend that you must try their Matcha puff – the cream is very fresh (my mum commented on that) and it does not had that strong matcha taste. I have tasted very strong matcha puff before which make me feel like the smell was overpowering the puff. This puff has a generous layer of matcha cream and it is fresh, light and not too creamy. My girl loves it so much that she even licked the balance of the cream off her fork. Even as I blog, I can still remember how I devour it. Yums!!!
The tart on the bottom left corner is what I am going to try on my next visit. Apparently, it is also their recommended list. I will share more after my next visit. 
Look at the other varieties of pastry that Two Bakers offer. Don’t they look appealing? They are on my listing for my next visit.
During my visit there today of less than an hour, there was short circuit of 3 or 4 times; reason being that the shop used to be a hardware store and did not had high electricity usage. Two Bakers is still waiting for the electricity to be stabilized after the authorities finished their connecting and testing of the necessary. So, do be patient with them as the shop’s air-con facility is not switched on yet.
A chat with Kristal today reveals that there will be plans of having more items on the menu. Two Bakers is currently on soft launch and most of the visitors are friends and family/relatives. Do checkout their Face Book page on their official opening date and a shout out for them as they are looking to hire.
Do be patient with them for things like electricity which is not within their control. During the day, it may be a little stuffy and hot but hey, you can always visit in the evening. What I feel is the staff are trying their best to make their customers at ease and at home. I like how one of the service staff who came over and chat with us, asking us if things are in order, anything else that they can get for us and even recommending some pastry for us.
I am not blindly writing this just to lend some shout out for a friend but what I see is people chasing and living out their dreams, which in itself is already an inspiration.
That was little EQ 9 years ago.
See.. So sweet right?
I need to take more pics with this little girl.
