Starter Lab

Tried the banana bread and the cinnamon roll but both were disappointing. The banana bread had a promising texture, as it was soft and moist inside and had a pretty smooth bite. However, the banana bread lacked some flavour and tasted pretty bland. The cinnamon roll was way too hard for my liking - it was really difficult to bite into it and the cinnamon flavour wasn’t particularly impressive as well. I’ve just returned from Paris and London, so maybe I had too high expectations after tasting all the great bakes there. But for the prices they charge, I think the bakes could definitely be better.

First time at Starter Lab on a weekday afternoon and boy was it packed. Prices are pretty high ($14 for these two small pieces of mascarpone on sourdough) and though this tasted good, I find it hard to justify a return trip as the portions are small and food here is expensive. Worth a try if you’re in the area, or you can buy some fresh sourdough bread home.

Sourdoughs are freshly baked at the cafe and paired with a wide variety of ingredients. While the smoked salmon sourdough has a significantly smaller servings of sourdough, I really loved the portion of smoked fish that was given. Really suitable for someone who is on low carb diet.

The creamy cheese and the honey were really indulgent-worthy, plus the toast's slight chewiness and its gentle but vibrant funk worked well in tandem with the toppings. The nuts also provided another enjoyable layer to the textures.

That said the prices on their menu are kinda steep, though I acknowledge that the portions are sizeable, and quality was good. Would go back to try other offerings, but for now Micro Bakery still has my heart.

Edges of bread was all burnt black and inedible , though the inside is nice and soft . Not sure how come they still served it .
They don’t have many sweet offerings .
I find Micro much better in terms of quality and variety .

Mascarpone, honey, toasted walnuts sitting atop a sourdough slice. Quite delicious but I rly expected to have my socks blown off after reading reviews but this was not quite life-changing. It’s good & I like it, but not phenomenal. Think I would prefer if the mascarpone was a better textural contributor; this was a bit too soft (like very soft butter that has been left out for 5 hours). But the honey and walnuts were good though. Sourdough was a little more chewy compared to the 3 cheese’s sourdough! Works for this combi.
