UPDATE: The Humble Loaf @ Katong Shopping Centre

Sorry that the posts haven't been coming as often lately. Been rather busy and haven't had the time to update the blog. That being said, if you haven't given The Humble Loaf a try, it's a great time to do so now as they have a lunch set for only $10 nett.

It includes, a choice of sandwich, pastry and one of their drinks.

Ham and Gruyere Sandwich

This is your classic ham and cheese sandwich, improvised with parsley and garlic butter. As you can see, the bread is well toasted making it very crispy,which is to my liking. However, those who want soft breads can opt for it not to be toasted, The bread used is their Mutigrain Chiaseed Loaf ($6/loaf) which smells and tastes great. I would have preferred more ham though.

Spicy Tuna Sandwich

I loved this sandwich because of the spicy tuna, which was not too salty. It also wasn't saturated with mayo or onions. The cured cucumbers tasted fresh and did not have any bitter aftertaste. The same multigrain chiaseed bread was used. Personally I felt that this was better than the Ham and Gruyere sandwich.

Shoyu Caramel Latte

I upgraded the Americano in the meal in favour for a Shoyu Caramel Latte, which I have enjoyed on mutiple occasions. The subtle saltiness of the shoyu and the hint of caramel syrup somehow go well together and tastes great as a latte. The coffee here might not be the strongest (The coffee is from Highlander) but it tastes okay. Not the strongest coffee but smooth enough to keep you satisfied. 

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Pardon the overexposure on the cake. This dessert was brilliant. It literally melted in your mouth, and to me, it was largely reminiscent of the molten chocolate lava cakes that are around. The chocolate quality is decent (tastes something along the lines of hershey's baking chocolate) and it is extremely moist. I like strong, dark chocolate, and hence the bitterness of the chocolate was balanced well against the sweetness of the cake overall. The best part? It only costs $2 to buy this ala carte, a price I haven't seen since my school days.

Cinnamon Chocolate Roll

Delicious stuff. This is best eaten hot/warm as the chocolate tastes best in a semi-melted state. The bread used in the roll is also tasty, although it is slightly more chewy than I expected. The bread is fragrant as well, providing a safer alternative that is not as sweet for the discerning eater.

It was hard to get seats when I was there earlier today, and most people were seen ordering the lunch set. So don't miss out now if you're in the area!
