Let’s travel back in time, shall we? The year is 2016, and the latest salted egg croissant craze has just arrived in Singapore. You see pictures of the golden-brown pastry all over your Instagram feed and they’re geotagged to Flavour Flings.
Oh, how time flies. The popular Hougang cafe will be shutting its doors permanently come 29 Jul after 10 years of delighting patrons with its innovative and trendy creations.
The Halal-certified brunch cafe announced their impending closure through a sentimental Instagram post on 23 Jun.
“Time to say goodbye,” the post began. They reflected on the past decade of operations, expressing gratitude for the support of their many customers and regulars. They asserted that it was time for a break after all these years, although the decision wasn’t an easy one.
However, in the words of Flavour Flings, “this is not a full goodbye”. While the establishment expressed that they have “zero plans ahead”, they added their intention to keep their brand.
Before their final hurrah on 29 Jul rolls around, you’ll have another month to swing by for your brunch fix for the last time or if you’ve never before.
Remember those salted egg croissants that were all the rage? Yes, you can still find them at Flavour Flings. The Salted Egg Yolk Croissant (S$7.50) sees a good ol’ buttered croissant stuffed with molten salted egg lava.
That aside, there’s a full range of salted egg-centric dishes for fans to savoury, such as the Salted Egg Yolk Dirty Benny (S$18), Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Burger (S$19) and Salted Egg Yolk Fries (S$12).
Another Instagram-worthy addition to your meal would be from Flavour Flings’s Raclette series. Here, luscious melted Swiss Raclette cheese tops the likes of Beef Steak (S$33), Cheeseburger (S$25) and Chicken Cutlet (S$25). Yeah, chances are that you’ve seen pictures of this cascading cheese over your social media feed over the years, too.
Not to worry if you’re a brunch purist; there are also the usual suspects such as Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon (S$18), Bangers & Mash (S$20) and Machamp Breakfast (S$20).
