Shifting from their previous location in Sin Ming to their new home at Farrer Park, Marymount Bakehouse is a full-fledged sourdough cafe that serves up epicurean expressions of sourdough.
Sourdough Cafe in Singapore
The cafe is split into a pet-friendly alfresco seating area and an indoor seating area. The cafe isn’t the largest in terms of size, and it can hold roughly less than 25 pax indoors.
The counter has a display of the bakes and food items available for the day, along with a shelf of freshly baked loaves of sourdough. The Marymount Bakehouse loaf comes with captivating designs, with each loaf intricately scored.
As for their sourdough loaves, they have a wide variety of flavours available, from classic ones to more unique options.
- Tomatillo Salsa Verde ($16.60)
- Oolong Chocolate Chip Sourdough ($20)
- Maple Country Nuts ($15.50)
- Oat Porridge Sourdough ($16.60)
- Applewood Smoked Mushroom Sourdough ($20)
- Bonito & Nori Sourdough ($19)
Their selection rotates on a daily basis, so do keep a lookout for what’s available through their IG.
We really appreciated how they offered a sampling service of their sourdough bread at the counter!
Marymount Bakehouse Menu
The dine-in menu differs from the usual cafe offerings, with a selection of levain pies, hot food and more. Here are some of the items we tried!
Started off with the Harissa Confit Tomato & Burratina Tartine ($25) which was a classic combination of tomatoes, greens and burrata served on top of sourdough toast. The parsley oil added a nice finish to the dish, which we enjoyed.
Next was the Drunken Chicken Pot Pie (The MMBH Way) ($16.90) which features a Black Truffle Levain Crust. Inside the pie is a chicken filling cooked in a Shaoxing White Wine reduction, butter fried chestnuts, shitake and morel mushrooms. One of the more unique creations, but not exactly our top pick.
We also tried the season special Feast of the Seven Fish Seafood Pot Pie ($22.50), which has tiger prawns, halibut, sea bass, scallops and crab in it. The pie had strong Scandinavian flavours, probably because of the dill used – a very nice treat!
One of the highlights was the Croque Monsieur 2.0, which features smoky scarmoza and cheddar bechamel, along with a house-brined Hungarian turkey breast, some cranberry jam and crispy egg floss. The turkey breast was so tender you’d almost forget it’s turkey, and the crispy egg floss made the overall sandwich feel slightly Asian, despite the ingredients being very Western-focused.
Marymount Bakehouse also has a menu of sourdough pastas, including the Lemon Cream Morel & Broccolini Peasant Style Sourdough Pasta ($22). The chewy, QQ texture of the pasta makes it feel slightly like ban mian and when paired with the lemon cream sauce – it creates an interesting contrast. We did find the pasta a bit too oily for our liking though.
If you like desserts, the Apple Rhubarb Custard Pie ($15.90) is a nice way to end your experience at Marymount Bakehouse. There’s a nicely executed balance between the apple and rhubarb flavours, resulting in tart and tangy flavours.
