Bakerzin

Bakerzin’s has launched its first CNY 2 course set menu featuring one appetizer and one main course for just $ 18.80.
Available at all 10 outlets except the one at Terminal One from 5 Feb to 5 March 2015, the ALL-​DAY menu offers 2 choices of appetizers and 2 mains for diners to pick from. Every set comes with a complimentary iced lemon tea.
One of the appetizers is the trio of pan-​seared Prosperity Prawns that sat atop some I sweet and tangy carrot green papaya pickles. These crunchy pickles complemented the stout reduction sauce and kumquat marmalade dressing to turn this into a refreshing dish that tasted surprisingly like Lo-​Hei (CNY tossed raw fish salad)!
The Opulent Salmon veers more towards the classic western canapé of pairing smoked salmon with dill cream. What makes this dish unique is the homemade bread at the base that is studded either with cranberries or walnuts.
Treasure Chicken
Bakerzin’s take on the classic oven-​roasted Chicken Roulade compromises nothing in taste with a superbly fragrant glutinous rice with dried shrimps, diced mushrooms and Macadamia nuts. It was an ingenious move to coat every single grain in marmite sauce, which evoked nostalgic tastes of traditional glutinous rice with simple dark soy sauce.
It was love at first taste when I encountered the sharp spicy kick from the chilli padi in my favourite Hakka dish. Tossed in Shitake mushrooms, lotus root, dried shrimps and chili padi, the Fortune Yam is an interesting colour combination of white and purple yam balls. Some felt that it could be chewier but I thought it needed more yam. Nonetheless, the tantalizing aroma created a nice aura that encourages one to dig in continuously.

I have ate at Bakerzin a couple of times mainly just dessert and I must say they do offer a reasonably priced menu. If I remember correctly, macaroons are a fairly new addition or rather I never noticed them before. For the macaroons, I am huge fan of the classics nothing strange like rose or lavender for me please. The macaroons offered at Bakerzin don’t crumble too easily and they look well molded so that is a plus! Their Durian moon cake is pretty good and comparable to the ones sold at Good Wood Park Hotel, place your order in advance and receive a discount! Overall, a nice place to stop over in between shopping at Paragon.

Had Bakerzin with my friends at Paragon a few times. One thing I am a big fan of are obviously their desserts! I must say their soufflé which costs less than $ 12 is quite worth it and quite well done. Their cakes are also not bad. As I have already tried two of the best (Ladurée and Pierre Hermé’) macaroons in the world already, my standards for macaroons are quite high and Bakerzin’s macaroons may not be as awesome as Ladurée and Pierre Hermé, but it was still considered quite delicious. Or maybe because I am a sucker for desserts, as long as it looks nice and smell, doesn’t fall apart, have a balance taste of the flavor and have a nice sticky chewy center, I will consider it a good macaroon.
Their mooncakes are also quite delicious and if I am not wrong, mid-​autumn festival will be coming quite soon so it’s quite a good time to see what kind of mooncake they will put out this year. Their main courses are also not bad. I have tried their fish and pasta before and it’s quite healthy and delicious. It’s a good place for a small group of friends to hang out for lunch, high tea or dinner.
