Judging by dinners and parties packing your schedule this holiday season, one thing’s clear: resistance is futile. So you bet we’re going all out, treating ourselves, our guests and hosts to the best there is out there, and of course, Tiong Bahru Bakery is amongst them.
This festive season, the iconic bakery is all set on celebrating neighbourhoods, and there’s no better way of honouring that idea than to go communal – that is, sharing a knockout feast with your loved ones, or even within your own communites back home. After all, sharing is caring and in this case, it’s the food that binds us.
You can’t talk about Tiong Bahru Bakery by Gontran Cherrier without mentioning the uber-popular kouign amman. Everyone’s favourite buttery creation gets a Yuletide twist, with refreshing fragrant pear and cinnamon ($4.50 each). That’s not all – TBB has also decided to bring back the tempting chocolate-flavoured kouign amman ($4.50 each) this Christmas. If you went gaga over this limited edition treat once before, be sure to make a beeline for it this time round and bring it back home for all to enjoy.

On a hunt for seriously good log cakes? Try TBB’s Snow Log ($45 for six persons, and $30 for four persons) or the Choco Log ($45 for six persons, and $30 for four persons), or both! The former elevates the classic cheesecake with zesty green lemon, mixed berries and even a rum-infused blueberry biscuit base. The latter, a must-have for any cocoa-holic, is made so much more decadent with divine components like a crunchy praline feuilletine, chocolate mousse, dark chocolate icing and nuggets of caramelised almonds and hazelnuts. Mmm…
For the indecisive (or the plain greedy – like us), take the easy way out and snag TBB’s Christmas Bundle of Joy. The take-home option consists of TBB’s signature bites, and it’s available through December in two options, the *Petit French Christmas ($30) and the *Great French Christmas ($140). Inside, find items like mini croissants, (more) kouign amman, artisan jam, and Gryphon tea – a perfect gift for TBB fans and every friend, family member, and neighbour!’
What’s Christmas without gifts ? Post your best shot of any Tiong Bahru Bakery items on TBB’s Facebook page and Instagram, with hashtags #wonDOUGHful and #TiongBahruBakery. The five best pictures win their amazing French Christmas hamper worth up to $140. Closing date : 20 December 2014. Start snapping!
