While Tiong Bahru Bakery (TBB, as it's known colloquially), might be revered for its flaky, buttery croissant, they do also have a delectable spread of savoury pastries and sweet treats. And evidently, things have gone well for them – this year marks their 10th anniversary and they’re going all out with a sundown takeover at the TBB Foothills outlet.
It’s all done in collaboration with natural wine bar Drunken Farmer, who is best known for a vast selection of natural wines and artisanal sourdough pizzas – adding an edgier flair to TBB’s otherwise conventional menu. Café classics are at play here – pizza, hot dogs and the like – but all levelled up. Choose between the tomato-based Rosso ($18.50), which comes generously topped with fresh goat cheese and an arugula pesto or the Bianca ($19.50), a ricotta cheese pie with a homemade blue cheese. There’s even a Wild Waffle ($10) that showcases TBB’s famed croissant, drizzled over with gula melaka, caramel, and vanilla chantilly cream.
The hot dog croissant roll ($16.50) or laksa prawn sourdough brioche roll ($18.50) make for interesting choices too, with a subtle nod to TBB’s croissant dough and Drunken Farmer’s expert handling of sourdough. You can also choose to add on fresh black truffle shavings ($20) to any of the above, or enjoy an additional side of house-cured Iberico coppa ($6).
And what’s a sundown birthday bash without alcohol? True to form, there’ll be 10 labels of natural wines available, starting from $17 per glass or from $80 per bottle. Else, you can try a bottle of TBB’s Beerguette, a pilsner-style beer that’s made from scrap baguette crusts.
The TBB Drunken Baker menu will be available till July 30, Fridays and Saturdays only (6 to 11pm).
