Prior to visiting Do.Main, my world of bread was limited to kaya toast or white bread with Nutella. If I happen to feel a bit more atas then I’d buy something from Subway. I had no idea there were so many different types of bread, or such a thing as an”authentic French baking style”, which Do.Main uses.
Do.Main Bakery was conceptualised and is owned by chef Frederic Deshayes, who has brought the flavour of France to the Singaporean table. Aside from freshly baked baguettes, chouquettes, puff pastries, tarts, Danish pastries, choux pastries and entremets, they now have a series of home-style French dishes too!
Do.Main Bakery has recently updated their menu to include savoury menu items to accompany their sweet treats, and they’ve already become hugely popular menu items. What I found interesting about this place is that everything is made in the oven – even their savoury dishes!
Their soups come with a basket of toasted bread, which goes amazing with the soup.
This is a heavy dish with extremely rich flavour. It’ll probably leave you with just enough room for a tiny dessert if you’ve got a big appetite. This is a French classic and is the ultimate French home comfort food.
I don’t usually eat vegetarian anything, so I wasn’t sure what to expect for this one. All I knew was I saw quite a lot of green and I wasn’t too excited about it. But what I tasted threw me off a little bit because it was just so tomatoey. And that was a surprisingly good thing.
This cake tastes just like Ferrero Rocher, but in cake form. It has a dry base that gives it a good crunch while the cake itself was soft and creamy. If you can appreciate Ferrero Rochers, you will LOVE this cake.
When these were first served to us, we all thought it was a sausage and were kind of confused. I think it’s because of the caramel that gave it an orange glow like sausages have. These didn’t taste anything like sausages. These were amazing happiness-in-a-bite salted caramel eclairs.
Unlike regular eclairs, these weren’t mostly hollow on the inside. These ones are completely filled with cream. Yum.
Perhaps I found it overwhelming because I tried so many dishes at once – if I had come for just one savoury dish and one dessert, it might have made for a far more pleasant experience. One thing I really like is the way their breads are served in little weaved baskets. Presentation adds to every experience, and Do.Main definitely has this one in the bag.
