Got to hear about the opening of the new Puurin Cafe at Binjai Park recently; for those whom have heard about the online-based business named Puurin Club specialising in Japanese-style custard pudding — yes, Puurin Cafe is their new brick-and-mortar store that operates as a strictly takeaway-only spot. These folks share the shophouse at 31 Binjai Park taking up the space at the back of the shophouse; the entrance to Puurin Cafe being the back door of the shophouse.Puurin Cafe is a little bit of an extension of what Puurin Club is all about; apart from the various flavours of Japanese-style custard pudding that it has to offer, Puurin Cafe also does serve up a variety of other small-sized brunch-style dishes such as open-faced toast and crepe — there are also a small selection of danishes.
Thought it would be good if we were to also go for one of their savoury food options that is befitting for a light lunch during our visit to Puurin Cafe considering how the entire range is newly-introduced here in line with the opening of the cafe. The crepes are available in a variety of savoury and sweet variants; we found ourselves settling for the Ham, Brie, Egg Crepe. It is noted that all crepe orders are freshly made upon order and a short waiting time would be required for its preparation. We really loved the texture of the crepes here that comes soft, thin and a little bit chewy with some areas especially around the sides coming with a slight crispness as well. With the addition of ham and Brie for the Ham, Brie, Egg Crepe, the two elements added different dimensions of savouriness to the crepe — all that whilst not being too salty, whilst the texture of both elements are also largely consistent with the softness of the crepe as well. The egg yolk that came over the top comes all runny; best to be enjoyed by breaking it first and mopping it all up with the crepe later, while it also does come with microgreens sourced from a local farm that helps to add a hint of freshness that compliments the crepe just about right.
