BREAKFAST SITUATION 🥐🍳 // Our Saturday breakfast at Cherry & Grapes, West Perth. Menu on @perthfoodmenu Featuring Backdoor Backhouse’s Twice-baked coconut ube (aud8.50), Blueberry & Earl Grey (aud8.50), Taro with crisps (aud8.50), Durian (aud10.50) croissants and Cherry & Grape’s breakfast special: twisted eggs bene with asparagus, brioche bun, smoked ham, baby spinach, miso infused Hollandaise, poached eggs and Furikake (Jap dried spicy cod roe) - aud26. Twice-baked coconut ube croissant was my favourite as it was the flakiest and I loved the fragrance of the coconut combined with ube. Durian croissant was creamy and another favourite. The blueberry and earl grey smelt super strongly of earl grey and personally, I found it too perfume-y for my liking. Our least favourite was the taro croissant as save for the crispy taro crisps, it was rather bland. Breakfast special was good with two perfectly poached eggs. At $26, it was one of the more expensive Eggs Benedict I’ve ever eaten. #cherryandgrapes #backdoorbakehouse #westperth #breakfast #brunch #croissant #eggsbenedict #perthfoodreview (at Cherry and Grapes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24X0PhjPkT/?igshid=1scj8dnpwyvwr

DURIAN CROISSANT; aud10.50 from Backdoor Bakehouse, Cherry & Grapes, West Perth. Just look at that durian cream oozing out! Super creamy durian filling - my friend really loved this (her favourite) while it was my second favourite out of the croissants we tried (my fav was the twice-baked ube and coconut croissant!). Video sound on enabling you guys to be the judge of the flakiness of the croissants. Tip: Flavoured croissants by @backdoorbakehouse are available from 8:30am onwards on Saturdays at Cherry & Grapes, West Perth.

FUSION CROISSANT: EAST MALAYSIA MEETS FRANCE // Sarawak Laksa Croissant; aud16.90 from Backdoor Bakehouse, Cherry & Grapes; West Perth. Created by Backdoor Bakehouse’s head baker Karen in tribute to her Kuching roots, this fusion croissant embodies the iconic Sarawakian coconut milk-based laksa with French pastry. All the laksa components were there save for the noodles - the tamarind paste, vermicelli, prawns, chicken, bean sprouts while lime substituted calamansi. The laksa broth had good depth of flavour but unfortunately, the chicken strips were quite dry. Very interesting to see chefs who challenge the status quo and come up with fusion dishes that may raise eyebrows with discerning traditionalists. Are you game enough to embrace and try unique flavour combinations? #backdoorbakehouse #cherryandgrapes #westperth #sarawaklaksacroissant #sarawaklaksa #croissant #fusion #perthfoodreview (at Cherry and Grapes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rXhMTjvQN/?igshid=78atcq063znv
