It might be hot all year round here, but it’s still officially the start of spring this month. So why not mark the season with a garden party or barbecue in Singapore. Here’s some delicious take-home fare and refreshing beverages, to make it extra special, from Cluny Court!
Plain Vanilla Bakery for garden party cakes and bakes
What’s a garden party without a bountiful supply of delicious bakes? There’s something immensely satisfying about digging into a familiar favourite flavour in well-balanced cake layers. From the Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Truffle to Black Forest Cake, you’ll find them at Cluny Court’s Plain Vanilla Bakery (#01-03A). Freshly made using the finest ingredients, they’re available in four-, six- and eight-inch whole cakes with an advance order (minimum two days), or same-day delivery for six-inch cakes.
Tiong Bahru Bakery for breads, quiches and pies
There’s no shortage of delectable baked goods and treats available at Cluny Court’s Tiong Bahru Bakery (#01- 05A/B) for your big garden party spread. Who can resist its oh-so-buttery kouign amann, the delightful lemon drizzle cake, or the popular sourdough with a generous layer of butter and jam? Those with a savoury tooth have plenty of options too, including pies (chicken or beef) and quiches (salmon and spinach or tomato and basil, both perfect for entertaining).
GeloBuna for cool-me-downs
End your next sunset walk through the Singapore Botanic Gardens at Cluny Court’s GeloBuna (#01- 03B), where each cup of specialty coffee is roasted fresh and the artisanal gelatos are all made from scratch. Take your pick from classic flavours like chocolate, vanilla and hazelnut or seasonal exotic flavours. Pair it with some freshly made waffles, and don’t forget to take away a few pints of your favourites to go before you leave.
