Croissant and Concert #CommunityFoodFightChallenge

[Lusianaa]

2020 has been tough, but there is still a lot to be grateful for. My sister @Velvel and I started this year with a short trip to Singapore. On January 2020, we were still able to fly abroad. Everything was normal. Until then in late January, exactly two weeks later after we came back from Singapore, the Covid-19 outbreak began and has changed the way we live.

We went to Singapore to watch a music concert. Also, there is a bakery I have been wanting to try for a long time. Actually, the shows were scheduled to take place in Singapore (10-11 January) and Malaysia (29 February). Because of the pandemic, the show in Malaysia was postponed to an unknown date. Luckily, we took the right decision to choose Singapore, otherwise we might lose the chance to watch our long-awaited concert, and also to visit that bakery

So, what’s so special about the bakery? The name is Tiong Bahru Bakery. They sell traditional French pastries, particularly the croissants are among the most popular items. The croissants are handmade, never frozen, and baked fresh every two hours with French flour, French butter, using traditional French techniques. I saw so many good reviews for their high quality croissants all over food blogs and Instagram. My sister has already visited the bakery in early 2019 and she also recommended this place to me.

Tiong Bahru Bakery has 6 branches in Singapore. We visited its first store at Eng Hoon Street one morning before heading to the Singapore National Stadium where the concert took place. We had Apple Chausson and Green Tea Almond Croissant for a light breakfast. The apple chausson has sauteed apple fillings inside with sugary on top, while the green tea almond croissant has green tea cream inside with almond slivers and green tea powder on top. Crisp layers and fragrant buttery smell on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Definitely the best croissants I have ever had!

The link to my review on Google Maps is here.

A croissant is best eaten fresh out from the oven, but not everyone comes in the right time. So it is very recommended to request a quick heat up before serving to get back the crispiness and enjoy it to the fullest! Yum!

There is no doubt that Tiong Bahru Bakery is one of the best bakeries in Singapore. Their croissant is the best food I have eaten in 2020 so far. I will never forget the taste, and also the travel memories I had earlier this year. So do give this place a visit if you are looking for the best croissant in Singapore.

Téh @Lusianaa

Ini bersaudara asli fix kalau ngomongin makanan tidak di ragukan lagi pada jago jago . Jago buat pembaca ngiler ,lapar .

Kalau di toko roti begitu semua makanannya halal ya atau tetap harus tanya tanya dulu .

Wuih nonton music nyeberang jadi sedikit heran juga kenapa promotor mengadakan di negara tetangga padahal yang nonton kebanyakan dari kita . Kan berat di ongkos .

[Velvel]

Thank you for participating in #CommunityFoodFightChallenge and adding a little story of our fun trip and concert in early 2020 @Lusianaa

This was an unforgettable and beautiful concert indeed!

I’m so happy that you like the recommended bakery from me. I will always visit this bakery whenever I come back to Singapore

Just a little reminder, I’ve posted the similar post about our favorite bakery and another recommended dessert place in Singapore through my post about Sweet Things From Singapore .

[Velvel]

Hahaha terima kasih ya, teh @Nyainurjanah

Kebetulan kalau di toko roti ini ada jual roti yang non halal. Jadi, sebaiknya kalau sebelum pesan, pastikan dan tanyakan ke penjual kalau roti benar-benar halal ya.

Ini adalah konser idola kami dari Taiwan. Terakhir dia datang ke Indonesia tahun 2013, tapi kami masih terlalu kecil dan tidak punya uang untuk nonton konser

Sangat bersyukur dapat kesempatan tahun ini untuk menonton konsernya di negara tetangga. Kalau untuk cita-cita selanjutnya sih pengen banget nonton konsermya langsung di Taipei, Taiwan. Semoga bisa kesampaian ya sekalian sama Teh Nyai kita jalan-jalan ke Taiwan dan ketemuan sama Jerry Yan

[NyaiNurjanah]

out topic sebentar ,Kalau lihat dari background di stadium téh @Velvel itu kan Jay Chou ya ? Seuriusan nonton Jay Chou Itu bukannya penyanyi Mandarin bukan Taiwan , seangkatan sama Wang Leehom ,Alan Luo ? Kerennnnnnn sekali .

Iya konser perdananya di Indonesia 2013 silam waktu masih zaman aku baca berita infotainment dari tabloid Asi*n plus . Lagu yg paling ku suka Ting mama de hua ( turuti kata ibu , maaf nulisnya salah ) . Hayu ke Taiwan nonton Tao Ming Tse hahaha semoga rejeki banyak .

Makasih info halalnya teh biar kalau jalan jalan lagi kan gak kelimpungan salah makanan

Hi @Lusianaa

First of all, these photos look amazing. I was hoping you tried the Kouign Ammann, as that’s arguably the best French pastry in the world! The selection of bakery goods in your photos are exactly traditional French pastries. Please visit there again and try it if you haven’t already.

[Lusianaa]

You’re welcome @Velvel and thank you for the recommendation Let’s go back again one day!

[Lusianaa]

Iya benar sekali, Teh @Nyainurjanah

Kelihatan dari foto di layar ya? Wah, aku nggak nyangka loh kamu suka artis-artis Mandarin juga. Ya ampun sama banget dong! Aku juga dulu suka beli tabloid itu, kalo ada foto abang Jay Chou aku guntingin terus dibikin kliping (mengenang masa-masa sebelum ada internet)

[Lusianaa]

Thanks for the recommendation @user_not_found

Since Singapore is not too far from my city, I will definitely visit again one day.

[NyaiNurjanah]

Teh @Lusianaa teh @Velvel

Haha ,sama Abang Jay Chou king pop nya Mandarin, ya iyalah langsung tahu dari screen di stage , generasi lama sebelum army BTS atau blackpink mewabah ya tahu nya,Fahrenheit , lollipop atau S.H.E pada zamannya .

Curhat perjuangan dapat gambar si Abang Jay Chou ,tabloid hanya tersedia di satu toko khusus dan berada di Sukabumi kota dan berawal dari sana juga memaksaku nekad untuk tahu apa itu komputer ,internet dan bahasa inggris .

Maaf curhat kepanjangan saking senengnya baca post ini .

[Velvel]

Wah Teh @Nyainurjanah ternyata idola kita sama ya!

Ga nyangka juga ternyata dirimu suka sama penyanyi-penyanyi Taiwan dan sampai tahu nama-namanya. Selain ting mama de hua (sudah benar lho teteh tulisnya ), suka lagu babang Jay Chou yang mana lagi?

Kalau aku sih hampir suka semua lagu-lagunya termasuk video klipnya juga.

Ternyata perjuangan fans untuk idolanya itu panjang ya Sampai beli tabloid sejauh itu.

Gapapa kok curhat panjang. Kami juga senang dengerinnya.

Ini aku kasih hadiah buat Teh Nyai biar tambah senang

Biarpun lihatnya dari jauh dan perlu zoom maksimal, tetapi rasanya senang banget bisa nyanyi bareng si babang di tempat yang sama

[NyaiNurjanah]

Teh @Velvel

Yeayyy lihat babang Jay Chou lagi perform auto jingkrak ,sama puas puasin teriak histeris , atmosfer yang tak bisa tergantikan . makasih gambar yang bikin envy .

Lagu- lagunya hitz semua kualitas king pop Mandarin tidak pernah bohong ya, dan yang terbaru seru mengasikan dengan style Amerika latin ala tango mojito .

Dan ngomong ngomong menurutku Taiwan loh yang sesungguhnya membuka jalan entertainment Asia timur dan tak terpaku mengandalkan visual semata seperti yang belakangan ini .

Nanti bikin edisi special edition ayolah local guides travel with music

[Velvel]

Benar banget kalau ini atmosfer yang tak tergantikan dan terlupakan, teh @Nyainurjanah

Wah ternyata masih ikutin lagu babang Jay Chou sampai sekarang ya. Aku juga suka lagu Mojito. Bikin relaks dan santai.

Setuju sama teh Nyai kalau Taiwan lah yang menjadi pelopor dan pembuka jalan untuk dunia hiburan di Asia Timur, salah satunya dimulai dari F4, ada babang Jerry Yan yang teh Nyai masih nge fans sampai sekarang

Ide yang bagus untuk Local Guides travel with music

[Lusianaa]

Terima kasih @Velvel telah membagikan foto-foto selama konser. Moment yang nggak akan pernah terlupakan. Aku sangat merindukan moment itu!

[Lusianaa]

Ceritanya sangat mengharukan lho, Teh @Nyainurjanah Terima kasih telah berbagi cerita ya. Jujur saja, aku menitikkan air mata saat konser dimulai. Masih nggak percaya bisa menonton secara langsung! Ditunggu ya program local guides travel with music nya!

Ngomong-ngomong soal lagu Mojito, aku jadi teringat dengan artikel travel tentang Cuba (tempat shooting MV Mojito) yang aku pernah baca di Connect. Apakah kamu juga pernah membacanya?

[NyaiNurjanah]

Teh @Lusianaa kebetulan sekali hari ini baca spesial post tersebut ,

Pos ini bukan

cuba skill dari local guides @DENIT33 ?

Pokoknya dunia cepat membaik semoga biar ,setidaknya ada kesempatan lagi nonton Abang Abang kesayangan

[Lusianaa]

Yup betul, teh @Nyainurjanah Aku juga berharap demikian, semoga pandemi ini segera berakhir.

Hi @Lusianaa ,

I totally agree with you: there is a lot to be grateful for! You and @Velvel had a lovely experience and, even though I don’t know the band (I admit ), I am sure the concert was amazing.

About the Tiong Bahru Bakery, it looks definitely top notch. I can see the pastries but I can also see some very inviting baguettes and round breads in the background.

[Velvel]

Thank you @Giu_DiB

This was a lovely and amazing experience for us indeed.

This is not a concert of a band, but a solo concert to celebrate 20 years of the music career from our favorite Taiwanese singer, songwriter, and musician, Jay Chou . He is very multi-talented. Do try to listen some of his songs, especially his love song. You’re gonna like it

@TsekoV Do you familiar with 周杰伦 (Jay Chou)?

[SoniaK]

Oh my god! I am drooling like a dog today. The croissants look so good! I never knew that there were so many varieties of croissants. I like croissants, even if it’s just plain. I know I know, that’s a lot of fat, but who cares. This is a yummy post @Lusianaa , indeed. And the photo with @Velvel is beautiful too. Good sharing.
