Yeast Side

Wah this was very nice!! It’s like a soft warm buttery hug in bread form. I sliced and toasted it so its slightly crisp, but not shatteringly crisp like kamome’s shokupan. But it’s damn pillowy soft and superrrr fluffy, it’s rather enriched and the buttery flavour really comes through, with a subtle honey fragrance. Also quite aerated so it’s almost like a sponge?? The crust has a nice mild burnt flavour. I feel that having this is almost like eating a french toast bc of how buttery and eggy it is. Would recommend!! Definitely want to try their sourdough now after this delicious brioche.

Very impressed by their herb and cheese scone. Carrot cake serving was quite substantial and great that it wasn't too sweet. Only allowed to order cold brew with the burpple deal - thought its taste was pretty nondescript hmm. Found their staff a little on the less welcoming side but the spacious and comfortable environment made up for it.

@yeastside.sg has recently launched their pizza range, and it’s perfection with the beers they got on tap. The current lineup consists of five pies, and I will never know what compelled me to order the Herbivore pizza ($19++) instead of a meatzza. Well, y’all get to witness this historic moment, where I go meatless for a meal. I swear you’ll never see anything like this ever again, so watch it, drink it in.⠀

Yes, that IS avocado on pizza. Yes, I’m perpetrating crimes against humanity upon the Italians. Geneva Conventions? I think you mean the Geneva Suggestions, fam. Hey, I wasn’t the architect of this atrocity, I merely ordered the pizza. Besides the abundance of avocado slices on the pizza, the Herbivore is loaded with all three different colours of capsicums, eggplants, garlic ricotta and the ol’ reliable: mozzarella. There seems to be a flavoured oil on the pizza, but it’s lost in the cacophony of veggies.⠀
⠀
Due to the pizza being topped with almost nothing but veg, it skews heavily towards the sweet end of flavours. The capsicums were incredibly sweet, the eggplant slightly less so, and the avocado was creamy but tasteless, so there wasn’t anything to check the onslaught of sweetness on the pie. A lot more salt is definitely required here to balance everything out, that’s for sure.⠀
⠀
The crust isn’t sourdough as I was expecting due to Yeast Side slinging out stellar sourdoughs. It’s a standard issue dough mix instead, but it’s still utterly unforgettable. The charred & chewy crust is perfect at providing that robust, satisfactory chew which aids in maximum satiation & satisfaction, and it holds the tomato paste & assorted cheeses up pretty well too. I easily polished this pie off solo, a true testament to the light airiness of the dough.⠀
⠀
With these exemplary new pizzas & possibly more to come, Yeast Side is firmly staking its claim to being Singapore’s best side.

Selection was limited by mid afternoon on a Saturday. The cranberry scone ($5) crumbled nicely and was moist inside. The brownie ($5) stole the show with its crisp edges and fudgy interior; very rich and decadent! Found the hot chocolate ($5) too sweet and milky, especially when paired with these bakes. The white ($5) surprised us with its well rounded strong flavour!

My photo may be godawful, but @yeastside.sg banana bread is the polar opposite. It’s a bloody brilliant banana bread, and I’m so glad I got to enjoy this T H I C C slice of sweet, carb loaded goodness. It was a day old, but it got a hell of a second wind after baking for ten minutes in my oven.⠀
⠀
Re-baking it made the crust develop a charming crunchiness, giving it a delicious distinction between the crusty exterior & the majestically moist innards, which were intensely imbued with the fragrance & flavour of ripe banana. The texture of the dough within was downright delightful, as it had a satisfying density & an alluring moistness to it. It had a decent touch of fluffiness as well, resulting in an incredibly satisfying banana bread that can be dual-purposed as both a light breakfast & a delectable dessert.

I turned mine into a decadent dessert with a charitable helping of strawberry cheesecake ice cream and goddamn, sometimes it’s alright to be fat. With beautiful bakes like this banana bread and boozy brews, Yeastside are truly best side.
