Bamboo Charcoal buns ($2)Black-colored bread is definitely something one does not see often (except err...burnt toast). The bamboo charcoal that give these an pan and custard buns their color is touted to be detoxifying and to boost one's circulation and metabolism. Well, I won't count on that, but I won't mind having these again 'cos I like how soft and fine the buns are. The amount of filling in the custard bun was too scant, but the an pan came with a generous amount of chunky adzuki paste which was thankfully not too sweet!
More custard please?
Ham and cheese croissant ($1.80)But what truly makes this patisserie a star are the fabulous croissants they sell. The best part is, they're not even expensive. The savory ham and cheese made a wonderful pair with the perfectly buttery, crisp and flaky pastry. Worth every sinful calorie ;) I initially intended to save half for my mum but I ended up finishing the whole thing and heading back to get another. I probably won't bother having croissants from anywhere else from now on.
[Update: Mirabelle Patisserie is closed. My favorite croissants are gone!! *sobs*]
