Sundays at La Tanglin Boulangerie

The La Tanglin Boulangerie is a cozy little cafe located in the basement of Tanglin Mall. Yes, that’s the mall in the corner of Tanglin Road and Grange Road that became flooded from torrential rain last year. It’s a place I go from time to time, on Sundays (and coincidentally not that Sunday when it flooded), while the kids attend classes at a music play school in the mall.

It looks like it’s popular with many other families too, including some folks who look like they came over after their morning walk at the Botanic Gardens nearby. There’s also Cedele in another part of the basement, but this La Tanglin Boulangeries cafe is usually more crowded.

The cafe serves breakfast sets, soups, and a variety of sandwiches and salads. They are quite reasonably priced too. The breakfast sets cost $6.90, which includes mains, sides, eggs and drinks. The sets are pretty yummy.

Another good option to try, which is rather value-for-money too, is their soups. At $4.90, you get to choose from a variety of soups (a few choices each day), and they come with free-flow bread. Try their mushroom soup.

The soup and bread combination can be quite filling! It’s a good alternative to the breakfast sets. There are a few choices of breads, and I usually ask for butter as well.

The coffee’s pretty good too! Sometimes, when I’m not hungry, but just need a place to sit and, well, keep myself occupied with my iPad, I’ll order a cup of coffee and settle down in one of their sofas.

The cafe sells breads, pastries, cakes and… doughnuts. The doughnuts are yummy. My kids’ favourites too.
